Skanda’s Gandarabai Lyrics Translation
The confrontational tone continues with specific, rustic instructions. The woman tells him to wear a lungi and find a haystack for their meeting. She then commands him to take a crowbar and dig a hole to bury his shyness completely.
Hey Gandara GandaraHey, chaos, chaos

Gandarabai Music Video
The song operates as a call-and-response duet built on bold invitations instead of romance. The man is thrown into “Gandaragolam,” or delightful chaos, by her unfiltered directness. The lyrics’ meaning comes from this frank, rural celebration of passion without inhibition.
