I have tried my best to convey what I actually meant while writing this poem. I am happy that it turned out pretty well. Hope the reader enjoys the translation and meaning.
Title means: "Throw a rainbow of hope"
ondu doorada beTTava arasi,
ada hattalu naa horaTiruve..
ondu doorada guriyanu bayisi,
ada paDeyalu naa naDediruve..
Translation:
I found a far away hill, that I am going to climb,
I desired a far fetched goal, I am walking to achieve it
Meaning:
The self is always seeing too far and desiring to achieve the far fetched goals.
Such an act is disturbing to the mind, the body and the soul since there is no contentment.
kattalu kavida manadangaLake,
hacchhu baNNava o beLake..
kaNakaNadallu, prati kiraNadallu,
kaNteresi kapaaDu o beLake..
Translation:
To the mind filled with darkness, paint the colours o light,
Through every particle(of light), through every ray,
help me open my eyes to the things around me and protect me
Meaning:
While craving for these far goals, I may hit a mental block
O great spirit, paint my thoughts with better clarity
Send in a ray of hope through every cell in my body
And help me realize what I am doing and protect me
Spirit is compared to light and hope is compared to light rays
The inner sprit generates hope just as light generates its rays.
suttalu baaDiha vruksharaashige,
chellu jeevava o maLeye..
aNuaNuvallu, prati haniyallu,
araLisu hrudayava o maLeye..
Translation:
To the dried plants around, fill them with life o rain,
Through every atom (of rain), through every drop,
make my heart blossom o rain
Meaning:
In the crave for goals, the people and things around me may seem dry,difficult and not responsive
O great spirit fill life to these things
Send in a drop of hope through every atom
And help me gain enough courage and have a big heart to face the difficult situations
Spirit is compared to rain and hope is compared to rain drops.
agochara shakti, kiccheddu sancharisi,
kyhiDidu muNNadesu tanu-manava..
abhyudaya kaala, iLegiLidu baara,
chigurisu ee nanna chetanava..
Translation:
Let an unknown energy, dyanmically flow,
Let it hold my hand, guide my mind and the body,
Let me see the sunrise over the earth
Let my life blossom
Meaning:
Let the spirit and hope generate an energy that will dyanmically flow and induce confidence
Let this confidence be the guiding hand for my mind and the body
Let an era of happiness and prosperity reside in my life
Let my life blossom
Last stanza is same as the first one.

Yes, I am back and hopefully back with a bang :)
