Cheluvi Cheluvi - Kannada Folk Song
Background: In India, concept of arranged marriage is an age old tradition. For an arranged marriage, the potential groom sees a lot of potential brides and decides to marry one. In this song, it seems like the eligible bachelor has been searching for a perfect cheluvi (beauty ) for some time. Looking at his ambitions, one of his well wishes advises him that when it comes to wife beauty is not everything. And when it comes to life money is not everything. A simple song with a wonderful message. Cheluvi cheluvi yendu Ati aase pada byada Cheluviddarenu gunavilla Cheluviddarenu gunavilla Hole neeru tili iddarenu ruchiyilla // Don’t wish too much for a beautiful wife. Beauty does not mean goodness. Just like the water from a lake which looks clear but is really tasteless. // Kappu hendati yendu Kalavala padabyada Nerale Hannu balu kappu Nerale Hannu balu kappu Iddaroo, tindu nodi
