ರಘು ದೀಕ್ಷಿತ್-ಎಂಬ ಕಂಚಿನ ಕಂಠದ ಈ ಮನಮೋಹಕ ಗಾಯಕನ ನನಗಿಷ್ಟವಾದ ಎರಡು ಕನ್ನಡ ಗೀತೆಗಳು:
soruthihudu maneya maaligi (ಸೋರುತಿಹುದು ಮನೆಯ ಮಾಳಿಗಿ...) The roof is leaking…with ignorance, the singer laments! A famous song written by Saint Shishunaala Sharif, this song has seen many versions rendered by many singers of Karnataka. Raghu’s melody attempts here to give it a blues guitar feel on the latino beat!
The roof is leaking
The roof is leaking with ignorance
The roof is leaking
The roof is leaking...
There is no one to strengthen the timber
In this darkness that surrounds me
I cannot climb up there
The wooden beam eaten by termites is broken
The bolts holding the beam have given away
The frame for the thatched tiles has holes in it
I cannot climb up there
The dry grass on the roof is filled with filth
And is torn and ants are all over it
The mud is not able to hold the water
The inside and the outside have become one
Oh mother! Listen to me with mercy
Heavy rains have come down on me
But I have faith in Shishunaaladeesha
He will protect me.
gudugudiya sedi nodo (ಗುಡುಗುಡಿಯಾ ಸೇದಿ ನೋಡೊ): Raghu’s rendition of one of the poems written by Saint Shishunaala Sharif, a 19th century spiritual poet of North Karnataka, South India. Shishunaala is popular for his simple metaphors to explain intricate philosophies of life. This song urges the listener to smoke a Hookah (a smoking pipe) to understand how one should lead life! Open the small cloth bag called mind, pull out the hash called greed/lust, crush it in a chillum called faith and light it with a fire called intelligence, Smoke that Hookah, he says
The song translation is available as subtitles in the video.
ಈತನ ಇನ್ನೂ ಹಲವಾರು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯ, ಪಾಪ್ಯುಲರ್ ಗೀತೆಗಳು ಅವನ ಮ್ಯೂಸಿಕ್ ಆಲ್ಬಮ್-ನ ಕೊಂಡು ಕೇಳಬಹುದು.
ಇತ್ತೀಚೆಗೆ ಸೈಕೊ ಚಿತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಈತ ಹಿನ್ನೆಲೆ ಗಾಯಕನಾಗಿ (ಹರಿಹರನ್ ಜೊತೆಗೂಡಿ) ಹಾಡಿದ ಹಾಡುಗಳು FM station-ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹಿಟ್ ಆಗಿವೆ.
