During the 1980s, I used to listen to a song in Kannada broadcast by AIR Bangalore in the morning Geetharaadhana program.
I remember it was composed by Shri. B. Rajanikaantha Rao. I do not know who the singer was.

The first few lines go like this:
Enu maatu? Enu maatidu? Mahidu sullU.
Etake Krishnanige keTTA hesaru?

Namma maneyalli illave mosaru?

Is there any chance I can get the audio file and/or lyrics for this song.

Thanks,

Thanks to my wife's memory here are the lyrics. Posting it so that it might help others who might also be (still) looking for it...

Enu mAtu Enu mAtu Enu mAtamma
hOgi hOgi ... || ||

namma maneyalli illave kene
yAtake krishnanige nimma beNNe
namma maneyalli illave mosaru
yAtake krishnanige ketta hesaru || 1 ||

nimage matsara yatake avana kuritu
avana eNisabahude bhakti bhAva maretu
nIvu kaLLanendu hELuvudu sariyE
nimma mana mane dhanagaLa rakshisuva hariyE || 2 ||

neevavara bayake teerisO tAyandirE allavE
makkaLalli krishnanendare sAmAnyanE
bAyalli vishva tOrisida mAnyanE || 3 ||

Shrijagadish,

Thanks for your response from Aug 2010.

I chanced upon this when I was searching for another song with the word Enu.

I think the lyrics might need some corrections - I will look into that.

I still do not know who wrote the lyrics. (Music was by B Rajanikanta Rao) A friend in Bangalore has told me this was sung by Vani Jayaram (the radio version I used to hear in the 1980s).

I am still trying / hoping to get a recording of the same!
