నిదురపో..నిదురపో..నిద్దురపో.. 2
నిద్దురపోరా తమ్ముడా, నిద్దురపోరా తమ్ముడా
నిదురలోన గతమునంతా నిమిషమైనా మరచిపోరా 2
కరుణలేని ఈజగాన కలతనిదురే మేలురా ||నిదుర||
ఆ... ఆ... ఆ...
కలలు పండే కాలమంతా కనులముందే కదలిపోయె 2
లేత మనసు చిగురుటాశ పూతలోనే రాలిపోయె ||నిదుర||
ఆ... ఆ... ఆ...
జాలితలిచి కన్నీరు తుడిచే దాతలే కనరారే
చితికిపోయిన జీవితమంతా ఇంతలో చితి ఆయే
నీడజూపి(జూపె) నిలవు మనకు నిదురయేరా తమ్ముడా ||నిదుర||

When grandmothers say "music can melt even stones" - it is no exaggeration. One has to listen to a song like this. This was recorded in 1955. Who can deny the song's purity and grace? I envy the poet(s). One song, just one song like this is enough to leave a footprint on the sands of time. A good song, a great song is like pure good luck - it just happens, and in its current it uplifts everyone: the original creator, singer, actor, music composer, and listener. It offers happiness to everyone without partiality. I doubt how many of the current generation Telugu songs will last fifty years. The impartial judge, time will tell.
Once Vishnu was in deep meditation. Was He in the form of Dattatreya or Narayana? Many angels (apsaras) came down to earth to disturb His meditation. It was then He created Uravasi. Upon seeing the extraordinary divine beauty of Urvasi, all other women simply lowered their heads in shame. Similarly, this exquisite song 'nidurapo' puts all mediocre songs (poems) to utter shame. After listening to this song, one intuitively knows what is true art.
