Appa I Love You Lyrics English Translation - Anuradha Bhat
Naanu Nodida Modala Veera
The very first hero I ever knew
Bhaalu Kalisida Salahegara
The wise guide who taught me life
Beragu Moodiso Jadugara Appa
The magician who fills me with awe — my Dad
Hagalu Bevarina Koolikara
The one who works hard and sweats all day
Rathri Maneyali Chowkidara
The night-time guard of our home
Yella Kodisuva Sahukara Appa
The generous provider of everything — my Dad
Gadaro Meesekaara Manase Komala
Stern mustache, tender heart
Ninna Holo Karna Yarilla
There’s no one as giving as you
Appaa, I Love You Pa…
Dad, I love you, Dad
Beralanu Hididare Vishwasavu Belevedu
Holding your finger makes my confidence grow
Hegalalli Kulitare Kutoohala Tanivudu
Sitting on your shoulders satisfies my curiosity
Nanu Odu Paathadalli Adu Yaake Ninna Hesaru Illa
Why isn’t your name found in the lessons I study?
Ninna Haage Yaake Yaarilla
Why is no one like you?
Neenu Iravaa Dhairyadalli Yaarondigu Na Solalla
With your courage by my side, I’ll never lose to anyone
Ninna Preeti Munde Eenilla
Nothing stands before your love
Ninna Angi Bevarali Namma Anna Adagide
Our daily bread lies hidden in your sweat-soaked shirt
Magale Anno Maatanalli Ninna Mamate Tilidide
In words like “daughter” or “son,” your love is felt
Thayi Matra Tappalla
It’s not wrong to say only mother is great
Tande Irade Thaayilla
But without a father, even a mother can’t be
Aakashadante Ninna Manassappa
Your heart is vast like the sky, Dad
Naanu Endu Helilla Yaakanta Nanu Tilidilla
I never said it, maybe I never even realized it
Neenu Andre Acchumechchappa
But Dad, I truly adore you
Yella Kodisuva Saahukaara Appa
The generous provider of everything — my Dad
Yella Kodisuva Saahukaara Appa
The generous provider of everything — my Dad
