Dude’s Baagundu po Lyrics Translation
A man accepts a future alone in darkness so his former partner can be happy. He recalls being the “Kaatukai,” or kohl, that once decorated her eyes. Now, she has used his own tears to wipe him away.
Nee Ishtam Sarle KaaniIf that’s what you want, so be it,
Icchesa Ninne NeekeI’ve given you back to yourself.
Aanandanga Bathakave PoGo on and live your life in joy.
Theeredhe Kaadhe Naa PremaThis love of mine will never end.
Aariponi VenneleA moonlight that never fades…
Maaripoye PodhuleA dawn that is always changing…
Nee Ishtam Sarle KaaniIf that’s what you want, so be it,
Icchesa Ninne NeekeI’ve given you back to yourself.
Aanandanga Bathakave PoGo on and live your life in joy.
Ee Bhaaram Poyedhe KaadheThis burden will never go away.
Ayinaa Cheli SelavantunnaneEven so, my love, I’m saying goodbye.
Ye Repu Nee Choopu Naa Vaipu RaakunnaaEven if your gaze never turns my way again,
Veyyellu Baagundu PoMay you be well for a thousand years.
Ekaaki Cheekatlo Ellagaa NenunaaWhile I remain alone in this darkness,
Nuvvaina Baagundu PoAt least you must be happy.
Gaayame KaaniveLet it be a wound,
Gundele PerikesaneIt has torn out my heart.
Ninnu NeekicchesaneI have returned you to yourself,
NavvuthoneAll with a smile.
Evvarinee EmantaaneI won’t blame anyone for this.
Nerame NaadhantaaneI’ll say the fault is all mine.
Sikshagaa ChivarantaaneI’ll say this ending is my punishment.
Shunyame MigiluntaaneAnd I’ll be the one left with nothing.
Verokari ChethulloIn the hands of another,
Nee Cheyyi ChoosthunnaaneI see your hand.
Baruvuga NittoorchaaI sighed with a heavy heart,
BaadhaloneDeep in this pain.
Ninnaa Nee KannulloneYesterday, in your very eyes,
Kaatukai Unnadi NeneI was the kohl that adorned them.
Naa Kanti Neellatho NanneWith my own tears,
Nedilaa CheripesaveYou’ve erased me today.
Ye Repu Nee Choopu Naa Vaipu RaakunnaaEven if your gaze never turns my way again,
Veyyellu Baagundu PoMay you be well for a thousand years.
Ekaaki Cheekatlo Ellagaa NenunaaWhile I remain alone in this darkness,
Nuvvaina Baagundu PoAt least you must be happy.
Ye Inkavarithonu Nee JantaaYes, you’re with someone else now.
Nuvvuleni Naaku EdamantaaWithout you, which way can I even turn?
Mukkalaina Naaku Dikku ThochadhantaaBroken into pieces, I see no path forward.
Ayinaa NuvvellipoEven so, you should go.
Nannu Dhaati Pove PommantaaI’m telling you to go, to walk right past me.
Mallee Itu Raane VaddantaaI’m telling you never to come this way again.
Anthuleni Prema Akshathalu VesiUsing my endless love as sacred grains of rice,
The song turns a painful goodbye into a final blessing for her future. It uses endless love as “akshathalu,” or sacred rice, to wish her well as she leaves. The meaning of Ramajogayya Sastry’s ‘Baagundu po’ lyrics is this selfless act of grace despite personal suffering.
