ತಲೆಯೊಳಗೆ ನೆರೆದಿಹುವು ನೂರಾರು ಹಕ್ಕಿಗಳು |
ಗಿಳಿ ಗೂಗೆ ಕಾಗೆ ಕೋಗಿಲೆ ಹದ್ದು ನವಿಲು ||
ಕಿಲಕಿಲನೆ ಗೊರಗೊರನೆ ಕಿರಿಚಿ ಕೂಗುತ್ತಿಹುವು |
ನೆಲೆಯೆಲ್ಲಿ ನಿದ್ದೆಗೆಲೊ? - ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ ||

In the head are gathered hundreds of birds
Parrot, owl, crow, cuckoo, eagle, peacock
In melody and in cacophony chirp they all
How can one sleep in peace? - Mankutimma

last line --> "where's the space to sleep?"...
ReplyDeleteor "how do we sleep with peace?" would have sounded a more closer translation than just the mention of "peace".
Thanks,

Yeah, that sounds better. I have included it. Thank you..
DeleteWe need elaborate transcriptions more than direct translations. Thank you for doing this work. Highly appreciated.
