The Music Mint presents this vibrant song celebrating the joy of being in Karnataka. The song marks the 50th anniversary of the state, and describes, with youthful energy, what it means to be living in Kannada country, old as the hills, and new as today. The song has the feel of a traveller returning home, asking for directions of the gentle breeze, of the trees lining the road. The words conjure up space as does the music of old time relaxed living. Translation of the Kannada lyrics: Beesuva gaaliye helu, nanna manaya daari Gentle breeze, tell me the way home Daariya marave helu, innu eshtu doora Trees lining the road, tell me how far I need to go. Dooradi inukide maneyaa sooru There, the roof peeps out Aha jhumennuva nota, o nodu, nee nodu! What a sight! Look, just look. Kanna thumba banna, kiviya thumba haadu Manna gandha chenda, habba habbavo, ellellu habbavo! The eye feasts on colour The ears ring with music The earth is all fragrant It's a festival, everywhere! Nooru ooru sutti, sobaganella kande, eneno aatavo, maimaraso maatavo, I've roamed the world, seen all the wonders. Kande kande vismaya kande Oh wonders, wonders, those wonders. Matte angalada nenapu kaadi, bande bechane madiligodi But thoughts of home grip me And I return to its warm fold. Kannada chorus: The eye feasts on colour The ears ring with music The earth is all fragrant It's a festival, everywhere! I just love this feeling I wake up in the morning I look out of the window And I know I am home Flowers dance as I sing I smell the earth it’s raining I look out of the window And I know I am home Heading home brings together some of the biggest young talent in Karnataka: Bruce Lee Mani, lead guitarist and singer of Thermal and a Quarter, H G Chaitra, finalist of Channel V Popstars and state award winner for best playback singer, and the Deepak Lazarus Choir, comprising the best young talent in Bangalore schools.
