My favorite Kannada song of all time is "Jotheyali Jothe Jotheyali", from the movie Geetha (1981). Beautiful Music/Melody composed by Ilayaraja, and Song sung by heart touching way SPB & S. Janaki. The lyrics are written by Chi. Udayashankar, bringing the romantic love story to life starring Shankar Nag, Akshatha Rao and directed by Shankar Nag. Every time I listen to this song, it transports me to a dreamy paradise, as if in a living fairytale.
Jotheyali Song lyrics in English
SPB :Jotheyali jothe jotheyali eruvenu heege yendhu
Jothe jotheyali iruvenu heege yendhu
Jotheyali jothe jotheyali eruvenu heege yendhu
Hosa harushava innu yendhu
Janaki :Ooooo entha maathadidhe... indu nee yentha maathadidhe
Nanna manisina bhavane neene helidhe
Jotheyali jothe jotheyali eruvenu heege yendhu
Preethi yendha renu yendhu eegha arithenu
SPB :Savinudiyali thanu aralithu
Saviganasali mana kunniyithu
Olavina ee mathige... Karedhiha ee notake
Koduve ninage bha preethi kaanike
Janaki :Jotheyali jothe jotheyali eruvenu heege endhu
Moda dhali jodi yagi theli naliyuvaa
Janaki :Haraduva aragiligala maathadisi muddhaduva
Khamana billeruva... Jarutha naavaaduva
Hagalu irulu ondhagi haduvaa..
Janaki :Jotheyali jothe jotheyali iruvenu heege endhu
Hosa harushavaa tharuvenu Innu yendhu
SPB :Ooooo Yentha maathadidhe indhu nee yentha mathadidhe
nanna manisina bhavane neene hellidhe
SPB :Jotheyali jothe jotheyali eruvenu heege yendhu
