Translation plans

I've been planning to sit down and translate Bageshree's poems into English for the benefit of those who do not follow Kannada.

Will do so as soon as I can. Tarave marave, whose transliteration I posted here earlier today, is characterised by an angst against time passing us by.

We put in two verses in English in the course of the song. Suchitra wrote them:

Mock away all you like
Only whisper your secrets to me.

Store away all my tears
And I know renewed I will be.

These lines are not translations of what Bageshree has written in Tarave marave, but a sort of thematic summing up.
