Vyathegala — Kaleyuva Kathegara Lyrics

In the pantheon of Indian film music, certain songs transcend their cinematic origin to become a cultural lifeline. For millions of Kannada speakers, “Vyathegala Kaleyuva Kathegara” (The storyteller who removes sorrows) from the blockbuster Mungaru Male is exactly that—a musical embrace.

When reality is brutal (Vyathegala – pains), the only refuge is fiction (Kathegara – storyteller). | Kannada Line | Transliteration | English Meaning | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | ಕಣ್ಣಂಚಿನಲ್ಲೇ ಜೀವವಿರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು | Kannanchinalle jeevavirisikonda | Holding life at the corner of your eyes... | | ಕನಸನ್ನ ಕಟ್ಟಿದೆಯಾ? | Kanasanna kattideya? | Did you build a dream? | | ಮೌನದಲಿ ಸದ್ದು ಮಾಡುವ | Maunadali saddu maaduva | The one who makes noise in silence... | | ಹೆಜ್ಜೇನು ನೀನು | Hejjenu neenu | You are the honeybee. | vyathegala kaleyuva kathegara lyrics
