A beautiful flock song.

So, I happened to hear this song in my childhood.It is in Kannada, Which is the state language of Karnataka and Karnataka is a state in India. It is written and sung in north Karnataka style. The origin of the song is unknown. But it was used for a T.V series called Mudala Mane. Which roughly translates to, East-side house. The lyrics describe, how the shadows play on the walls of the house and in the end they invite strangers into the house saying they are family too. I personally don't exactly know what the song means. but I have tried to jot down each stanza and its meaning. there is a link which takes you to the you-tube channel, I hope you readers enjoy it ☺️

The song lyrics and its meaning.

first stanza-
Haadi beediyalla tampa nerala, soonki....
rembi kombi ya melya gud kattidava rekki balita hakki
goodi naaga maligyava mari hakki...
doora deshada valasida hakkigu iti jaga olaga
banniri, neevu namma balaga.

Meaning-
Let the roads and the streets absorb the cool shadow
birds have built the nests on the branches of the trees
and little birds are sleeping in them
we have place for the migrated birds too
come in, you are our family too.

Second stanza-

Haleya bhaviya talda neerinaga hasira chigurtava...
haleya bhaviya talada neerinaga hasira chigurtava

bootha preta ala jhota bavali myala toogatava
maradaga karaga kuniyatava
