Magic in Tunes: 01/29/2015 – Neeli Megha Malavo / Chaudhavin Ka Chand Ho

Jan. 29th, 2015 at 7:48 PM

Was listening to some old tunes on one of the local channel and came across this Telugu version of the song whose tune was lifted from another hit Hindi classic. Both the songs sound wonderful with its own charm and melody.

From the 1962 Telugu movie Madana Kamaraju Katha ( = Madana Kamaraju’s Story), Sung by P. Susheela and P. B. Srinivas. Music composed by Rajan Nagendra to the Lyrics penned by G. Krishnamurthy. The duet version of the song:

Lyrics in Romanized Telugu (Duet):

Neeli Meghamalavo Neelaala Thaaravo

Ne Soyagaalatho Madini Dochipoduvo

Neeli Meghamalavo

Neeli Meghamalano Neelaala Thaarano

Ne Soyagaalatho Madini Dochipothino

Neeli Meghamalano

Nee Raaka Kosame Cheli Ne Vechiuntini

Aaratamemono Priya Nee Chentanuntine

Anada Madhura Geetamula Alapinthama

Neeli Meghamalano

Nivurinchu Valapu Teegala Viri Poovulu Pooyaga

Chirunavvu Virupu Lo Gala Harivillu Viriyaga

Nelavanka Naava Lona Manamu Kalasipodama

Neeli Meghamalavo

Manaloni Kalata Maayamai Mana Aasha Teerega

Anuraga Raagame Ika Mana Raagamayega

Manasara Prema Maadhurula Saagipodama

Neeli Meghamalano Neelaala Thaarano

Ne Soyagaalatho Madini Dochipoduvo

The movie had the same song as a solo version as well. This is again Sung by P. B. Srinivas. The solo version of the song comes first in the movie and the duet later. This song would also fall under my song-series that I had created a while ago. :)

Lyrics in Romanized Telugu (Solo):
