Jhana Jhana - Lyrics

This powerful song is from the movie "Mathad Mathadu Mallige" - A movie on ill effects of globalization which is very very relevant today. This songs sums it up brilliantly. If its running in a theater near you, do watch it.

Its kinda hypocrisy on my part to sit this far and write articles on globalization!

Jhana Jhana Jhana Kanchanadalli,
Americada lanchanadalli,
Jhana Jhana Jhana Kanchanadalli,
Americada lanchanadalli,
Devaru hindina bajaneyelli,
Mandira maseedi gaddaladalli,
Devaru hindina bajaneyelli,
Mandira maseedi gaddaladalli,
Yella maaya, naale naavu maaya,
Yella maaya, naale neevu maaya.

Jhana Jhana Jhana Kanchanadalli,
Americada lanchanadalli

Bhoomi thayiya udara seelidaru,
Muthuratnagala maarikondaru,
Gundigege gundittu sidisidaru,
Koti Koti hana kolle hodedaru
Shanigala, dhanigala dibbanadalli,
Barathamaateye bettaladalu,
Yella maaya, naale naavu maaya,
Yella maaya, naale neevu maaya.

Jhana Jhana.....

East India companyondu,
Innooru varusha alithu andu,
Saavira saavira company bandu,
Naadu naadigala kadiyuvarindu
Settu hodedu, neevu nilladiddare..
Desha kosha naashavayya..
Yella maaya, naale naavu maaya,
Yella maaya, naale neevu maaya.

Appa ammara kaaladalli,
Gundu soapugalu iddavu anna,
Ooragalanne kadari avugalu,
Maleyannu tharuthali iddavu anna
Batthi hodavu, satthu hodavu.......
Jagake shaapa kottu hodavu
Yella maaya, naale naavu maaya,
Yella maaya, naale neevu maaya.

Harishina nungithu fair n lovely,
Kumkuma kalachitu sticker chukki,
Yelaneeranna iridu kondithu,
Pepsi cola keke hakithu
Paringi avaru mathe bandare....... anna
Neevu naavu yella maya..
Yella maaya, naale naavu maaya,
Yella maaya, naale neevu maaya.


This is what we have now!

As government issues licenses to foreign/Indian mining companies, we might shortly end up with this.
