the lyrics which disturbed me yet again after 1993

its been sometime since i listened to this song .. infact its been 15 years to be precise ...
Raalipoye puvvaa niku ragaalendhukeThota maali ni thodu ledu le....
Vaali poye podhaa niku varnaalendhuke?Lokamennado chikataayale......
Nee kidhi thelavaarani reyi amma....
Kaliki ma chilaka padaku ninnati nee ragam

Raalipoye puvvaa niku ragaalendhuke?Thota maali ni thodu ledu le....
Vaali poye podhaa niku varnaalendhuke?Lokamennado chikataayale......
chedhirindhi ni goodu gaali gachilaka gorinka gaadha gachinnari roopaalu kanniti deepalu kaaga....
thanavaadu tharallo cheraga,manasu, mangalyaalu jaaraga....sindhoora varnaalu thellari, challaari poga...
thirige bhoomathavu nivayi.... vekuva lo vennalavayi
karige karpooramu nivayi....aashala ke aarathivayi

Raalipoye puvvaa niku ragaalendhuke?
Thota maali ni thodu ledu le....
Vaali poye podhaa niku varnaalendhuke?

Anubandham ante ne appu le.....karige bandhalanni mabbu le....hemantha ragaala chemanthule vaadi poye

thana rangu maarchindhi Rakthame...thanatho raalenandhi pashame
deepala pandakki deepale kondekki poye

pagile akaasham nivayi... jaari pade jaabilivayi
migile alaapana nivayi ...Theega thege Veniyavayi

Raalipoye puvvaa niku ragaalendhuke?
Thota maali ni thodu ledu le....
Vaali poye podhaa niku varnaalendhuke?
Lokamennado chikataayale......

This song gets played in the back-ground when a mother (about to die due to illness) with his physically handicapped son goes to visit her children who were given away for adoption to different families .... she goes to visit them to invite them for one last Deepavali she wants to celebrate with them ....

Veturi Sundararamamuthry gaaru wrote the lyrics and was rendered by MM Keeravani (MM Kreem) ....

it still haunts ...
