Lyrics and translation P. B. Sreenivas - Apara Keerthi

Apara Keerthi

Arale raashigalante, Haalgadala aleyante

Aagasadi telutide moda
Nere nota haridante pasarisiha giripankthi
Hasirasiru vanarashi noda

Apaara keerthi galasi mereva bhavya naadidu
Karnataviduve nritya shilpa kaleya beedidu
Apaara keerthi galasi mereva bhavya naadidu
Karnataviduve nritya shilpa kaleya beedidu

Apaara keerthiyeee...
Maathe tungabhadre
Hariyutihalu illi
Maanavana paapavanu toleva kalpavalli
Maanavana paapavanu toleva kalpavalli
Apaara keerthi galasi mereva bhavya naadidu
Karnataviduve nritya shilpa kaleya beedidu

Apaara keerthiyeee...
Deva Virupaaksha, eevanemage raksha
Jeevige thaa needuvanu dharmada deeksha
Apaara keerthi galasi mereva bhavya naadidu
Karnataviduve nritya shilpa kaleya beedidu

Apaara keerthiyeee...
Kadidu suttha mutthalidda gondaaranya
Sthaapisidanu Vijayanagara Vidyaaranya
Hakka-Bukkaaraali, bhavyateyanu thaali

Dikku-dikku shanti sukhada kahaleyu keli
Apaara keerthi galasi mereva bhavya naadidu
Karnataviduve nritya shilpa kaleya beedidu
Apaara keerthiyeee...

Unparalleled Glory

Like the zodiac signs, like the milky ocean's waves,

Its vastness is unknown, my love.
Like the rows of pearls you wear, like the mountain ranges,
With greenery and colorful hues, my dear.

Unparalleled glory echoes, a magnificent sound reverberates,
Karnataka's music, dance, and art flourish, my beloved.
Unparalleled glory echoes, a magnificent sound reverberates,
Karnataka's music, dance, and art flourish, my beloved.

Unparalleled glory...
Mother Tungabhadra,
Green crops thrive here,
A wish-fulfilling vine that removes human suffering,
A wish-fulfilling vine that removes human suffering,
Unparalleled glory echoes, a magnificent sound reverberates,
Karnataka's music, dance, and art flourish, my beloved.

Unparalleled glory...
Lord Virupaksha, protect us all,
Grant the gift of righteousness to every soul,
Unparalleled glory echoes, a magnificent sound reverberates,
Karnataka's music, dance, and art flourish, my beloved.

Unparalleled glory...
From the dense forests of Gondaranya,
Vijayanagara was established by Vidyaranya,
Hakka and Bukka, brought forth this grand legacy,

In every direction, the tales of peace and happiness resound,
Unparalleled glory echoes, a magnificent sound reverberates,
Karnataka's music, dance, and art flourish, my beloved.
Unparalleled glory...
