    మా తెలుగు తల్లికి మల్లెపూదండమా కన్నతల్లికి మంగళారతులుకడుపులో బంగారు కనుచూపులో కరుణచిరునవ్వులో సిరులు దొరలించు మాతల్లిమా తెలుగు తల్లికి మల్లెపూదండ

    నీ ఇసుక తిన్నెలలోన గంగానదిపారుతున్నది నీ పాదముల కడిగినీ గాన లహరిలోన కృష్ణమ్మనాట్యమాడుతున్నది నీ కాలి అందెల గలగలమా తెలుగు తల్లికి మల్లెపూదండ

    నీ బిడ్డలము మేము నీకు అండగానీ కీర్తి ప్రతిష్టలు నిలబెట్టెదమునీ తెలుగు భాషకు జీవం పోసెదమునీ సంస్కృతికి వెలుగు నింపెదముమా తెలుగు తల్లికి మల్లెపూదండ

    అమరావతి శిల్పాలకు ప్రాణం పోసినఅమరశిల్పి జక్కన్నకు జోహార్లుఅన్నమయ్య కీర్తనలకు ఆత్మను పలికినఅమరగాయకుడికి జోహార్లుమా తెలుగు తల్లికి మల్లెపూదండ

    English Translation

    To our Mother Telugu, a jasmine garland, To our birth mother, auspicious aratis. In her womb, gold; in her gaze, compassion; In her smile, wealth overflows, our Mother. To our Mother Telugu, a jasmine garland. In your sandy banks, the Ganga river Flows, washing your feet. In your song's wave, Krishna river Dances, with the jingle of your anklets. To our Mother Telugu, a jasmine garland. We are your children, we will stand by you, We will uphold your fame and prestige. We will breathe life into your Telugu language, We will fill your culture with light. To our Mother Telugu, a jasmine garland. To Amarasilpi Jakkanna, who breathed life into Amaravati sculptures, our salutations. To the immortal singer who gave soul to Annamayya's kirtanas, our salutations. To our Mother Telugu, a jasmine garland.

    The translation aims to convey the patriotic and devotional sentiment towards 'Telugu Talli' (Mother Telugu), preserving the poetic imagery and cultural references of the original Telugu text.

    🧾 Contributor Notes

    The song 'Maa Telugu Talliki Malle Poodanda' is a revered patriotic anthem dedicated to 'Telugu Talli,' the personification of the Telugu language and land. Composed by the renowned poet Sankarambadi Sundarachari in 1942, it emerged during a period of heightened regional identity and linguistic consciousness in British India. Sundarachari, a native of Nellore district in Andhra Pradesh, penned these evocative lines to celebrate the rich heritage, natural beauty, and cultural prowess of the Telugu-speaking people. The song gained immense popularity after its inclusion in the 1951 Telugu film 'Deeksha,' with music composed by Suri Babu and popularized by the legendary singer Ghantasala. Its widespread appeal led to its adoption as the official state song of Andhra Pradesh in 1956, following the formation of the state on linguistic lines. Culturally, 'Maa Telugu Talliki Malle Poodanda' holds profound significance. It is not merely a song but an ode that encapsulates the collective pride and identity of Telugus. It is sung on numerous occasions, including state functions, school assemblies, cultural programs, and public gatherings, especially during state formation day (Andhra Pradesh Formation Day on November 1st). The lyrics beautifully weave together imagery of the fertile lands, the sacred rivers Krishna and Godavari, and the glorious artistic and literary contributions of historical figures like Amarasilpi Jakkanna (the architect of Amaravati) and Annamayya (the saint-composer). It serves as a constant reminder of the linguistic and cultural legacy that binds the Telugu people. The performance style of 'Maa Telugu Talliki Malle Poodanda' is typically a chorus, often sung by large groups, reflecting its status as a collective anthem. While it can be performed with various instruments, including harmonium, tabla, and traditional South Indian instruments, it is most impactful when sung in unison, emphasizing its unifying message. It is a staple in school curricula and cultural events, ensuring that younger generations are imbued with a sense of pride in their language and heritage. Its simple yet profound lyrics make it accessible to all, from children to elders, fostering a deep emotional connection to 'Telugu Talli.' Today, 'Maa Telugu Talliki Malle Poodanda' continues to be a powerful symbol of Telugu identity, transcending political boundaries between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It inspires a sense of unity and reminds people of their shared cultural roots. Efforts for its preservation involve its regular performance in educational institutions and public events, digital archiving, and inclusion in cultural studies. Its timeless message of reverence for language, land, and heritage ensures its enduring relevance as a cornerstone of Telugu cultural expression.

    टिप्पणी (Hindi)

    गीत 'मा तेलुगु तल्लिकि मल्ल्ले पूदण्ड' तेलुगु भाषा और भूमि के मानवीकरण 'तेलुगु तल्ली' को समर्पित एक पूजनीय देशभक्ति गीत है। इसे 1942 में प्रसिद्ध कवि शंकरंबाडी सुंदरचारी ने रचा था। यह गीत ब्रिटिश भारत में क्षेत्रीय पहचान और भाषाई चेतना के बढ़ते दौर में उभरा। सुंदरचारी, आंध्र प्रदेश के नेल्लोर जिले के मूल निवासी थे, उन्होंने तेलुगु भाषी लोगों की समृद्ध विरासत, प्राकृतिक सुंदरता और सांस्कृतिक कौशल का जश्न मनाने के लिए इन मार्मिक पंक्तियों को लिखा। 1951 की तेलुगु फिल्म 'दीक्षा' में शामिल होने के बाद यह गीत बहुत लोकप्रिय हुआ, जिसका संगीत सूरी बाबू ने दिया था और इसे महान गायक घंटसाला ने लोकप्रिय बनाया। इसकी व्यापक अपील के कारण 1956 में भाषाई आधार पर आंध्र प्रदेश राज्य के गठन के बाद इसे आंध्र प्रदेश के आधिकारिक राज्य गीत के रूप में अपनाया गया। सांस्कृतिक रूप से, 'मा तेलुगु तल्लिकि मल्ल्ले पूदण्ड' का गहरा महत्व है। यह सिर्फ एक गीत नहीं, बल्कि एक स्तुति है जो तेलुगु लोगों के सामूहिक गौरव और पहचान को समेटे हुए है। इसे कई अवसरों पर गाया जाता है, जिसमें राज्य समारोह, स्कूल सभाएं, सांस्कृतिक कार्यक्रम और सार्वजनिक सभाएं शामिल हैं, खासकर राज्य स्थापना दिवस (1 नवंबर को आंध्र प्रदेश स्थापना दिवस) पर। गीत के बोल उपजाऊ भूमि, पवित्र कृष्णा और गोदावरी नदियों, और अमराशिल्पी जक्कन्ना (अमरावती के वास्तुकार) और अन्नमय्या (संत-संगीतकार) जैसे ऐतिहासिक हस्तियों के शानदार कलात्मक और साहित्यिक योगदान की छवियों को खूबसूरती से एक साथ पिरोते हैं। यह तेलुगु लोगों को बांधने वाली भाषाई और सांस्कृतिक विरासत की एक निरंतर याद दिलाता है। 'मा तेलुगु तल्लिकि मल्ल्ले पूदण्ड' की प्रदर्शन शैली आमतौर पर एक कोरस है, जिसे अक्सर बड़े समूहों द्वारा गाया जाता है, जो एक सामूहिक गान के रूप में इसकी स्थिति को दर्शाता है। इसे विभिन्न वाद्ययंत्रों, जैसे हारमोनियम, तबला और पारंपरिक दक्षिण भारतीय वाद्ययंत्रों के साथ प्रस्तुत किया जा सकता है, लेकिन इसका सबसे प्रभावशाली प्रदर्शन तब होता है जब इसे एक साथ गाया जाता है, जो इसके एकीकृत संदेश पर जोर देता है। यह स्कूल के पाठ्यक्रम और सांस्कृतिक कार्यक्रमों का एक मुख्य हिस्सा है, यह सुनिश्चित करता है कि युवा पीढ़ियों में अपनी भाषा और विरासत के प्रति गर्व की भावना पैदा हो। इसके सरल लेकिन गहन बोल इसे बच्चों से लेकर बड़ों तक सभी के लिए सुलभ बनाते हैं, जिससे 'तेलुगु तल्ली' के साथ एक गहरा भावनात्मक संबंध बनता है। आज भी, 'मा तेलुगु तल्लिकि मल्ल्ले पूदण्ड' तेलुगु पहचान का एक शक्तिशाली प्रतीक बना हुआ है, जो आंध्र प्रदेश और तेलंगाना के बीच राजनीतिक सीमाओं को पार करता है। यह एकता की भावना को प्रेरित करता है और लोगों को उनकी साझा सांस्कृतिक जड़ों की याद दिलाता है। इसके संरक्षण के प्रयासों में शैक्षणिक संस्थानों और सार्वजनिक कार्यक्रमों में इसका नियमित प्रदर्शन, डिजिटल संग्रह और सांस्कृतिक अध्ययनों में इसका समावेश शामिल है। भाषा, भूमि और विरासत के प्रति श्रद्धा का इसका कालातीत संदेश तेलुगु सांस्कृतिक अभिव्यक्ति की आधारशिला के रूप में इसकी स्थायी प्रासंगिकता सुनिश्चित करता है।
