Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Note: the word AMO! ( " ammo " ) in telugu is an expression of " shock and awe " ... like " oh no! " or " no way! " ...I've tried to translate the telugu verses as best as possible, please forgive any mistakes and provide corrections as necessary. Enjoy!
