Akhanda 2 – Thaandavam’s Jajikaya Jajikaya Lyrics Translation
The lyrics elevate the hero with grand comparisons. One line claims that dust rises twelve feet from his sneeze, a power associated with the historic King Krishnadevaraya. Another image shows him arriving with a sharp mustache and sickle, reinforcing a strong rural identity.
Jaajikaaya Jaajikaaya Jaajire JaajikaayaHey nutmeg, hey nutmeg, oh what a spice.
Raagimuddha Raagamaaya Dhebbake Manasu Paaya..A simple ‘ragi ball’ becomes a melody, and with one strike, my heart is stolen.
