Bande
Sivam • From “Vikram Vedha”
Bande Lyrics Translation Sivam | Vikram Vedha
Manoj Muntashir disputes distinctions between heaven and hell. His words frame deception as systemic, demanding listeners examine hidden truths. Lines like ‘business of lies’ criticize societal complicity in false constructs.
Bande Kaala Kya Safed KyaFriend, what’s the deal with black or white?
Ki Dono Mein Hai Bhed KyaWhat’s the real difference between the two?
Ye Khamakha Nazar Ki Bhool HaiIt’s just a pointless trick of the eyes.
Bande Bhale Bure Mein Fark Kya HaiFriend, what’s the difference between good and evil?
Swarg Kya Hai Nark KyaWhat is heaven and what is hell?
Ye Paap Punya Sab Fizul HaiAll this ‘sin’ and ‘virtue’ is completely meaningless.
Kya Khoya Kya Paya Jaane DeWhatever you’ve lost, whatever you’ve gained, just let it go.
Maya Hai Sab Maya Jaan LeIt’s all an illusion, you need to understand that.
Dharm Kya Adharm KyaWhat’s righteousness and what’s unrighteousness?
Ye Waqt Ko Kaun SamjhaWho has ever truly understood time?
Tana Nana Nana NaTana nana nana na.
Tana Nana Nana NaTana nana nana na.
Kaun Hai Devta BoloTell me, who’s a god?
Kaun Hai Be-Khata BoloTell me, who is without sin?
Jurm Ka Raj Hai Dekho DekhoLook, it’s a kingdom of crime, just look.
Dhool Hai Haath Pe Dho LoThere’s dust on your hands, so wash it off.
Kaisa Banda Hai BandeWhat kind of person are you, my friend?
Jhooth Ka Dhandha Hai BandeIt’s a business of lies, my friend.
Dekh To Parde Ke PeecheYou need to look behind the curtain.
Kya Tu Andha Hai BandeAre you blind, my friend?
YeahYeah.
Tana Nana Nana NaTana nana nana na.
Tana Nana Nana NaTana nana nana na.

A rejection of sin-virtue dichotomies drives the ‘Bande’ lyrics meaning in English. Sivam’s delivery strips away illusions about human morality. Sam Cs’s sparse instrumentation mirrors this dismantling of artificial divides.
