Request – Daari Choodu – Lyrics Translation – Telugu to English
The super-hit song from the movie Krishnaarjuna Yuddham (The fight between Krishna and Arjuna – two main protagonists in the Indian epic Mahabharata) was an immediate and a massive hit. It was written and sung by Penchal Das. Despite it being in Telugu, many Telugu speakers fail to understand and appreciate it thanks to most phrases being exclusive to the particular dialect it has been written in. Here is a rough translation of the song.
