guru and srinivAsAya mangalaM

mangalam guru  is a traditional  kannada mangalam sung at the end of a guru puja for those belonging to the smArta sampradAya. Something very sweet about it (as all mangalam-s are designed to be). I've took the sAhityam (lyrics) from the end of the booklet here and rearranged it below:




On the same note, here is another very sweet managaLaM composed and sung by sri bAlamuraLi krSNa:

 sAhityam in here by sri lakSman. I've transcribed it into devanAgari and unicode sanskrit below:


श्रीनिवासाय मङ्ग़ळम् । रागः नवरोज् । तालः आदिः , तिस्रगतिः

पल्लवि:

Song of the sea - Lyrics


Lovely movie - so much emotion. Animation takes you to a different world. And super title track ("Amhran Na Farraige - Song of the Sea)


Here are the lyrics. I've put the Gaelic and English lyrics side-by-side for easy reading. The translation is from a very helpful comment by an Irishman (Mr. Fergal Ó Ceallaigh) on the youtube. It dramtically improves the  meaning over some other lyrics floating over the net.

 There is also an English version of the song here (lyrics embedded):
