Hi, I was wondering whether posters could help with the meaning of the following two songs composed in Telugu. A dance teacher I know passed me the lyrics as she needs to choreograph dances for a performance. Really appreciate any help. Thank you. There may be errors in the sAhitya. Hope I got to type the headers for the subject line per specifications by the moderator.
