Venkatesh performs “Jingidi” from the album Guru with a tone that imitates a public service announcement. The song, starring Ritika Singh, initially warns listeners about the dangers of alcohol. Lyricist Bhaskarabhatla Ravi Kumar and composer Santhosh Narayanan create a deliberately misleading setup.

Jingidi
Venkatesh • From “Guru”
Guru’s Jingidi Lyrics Translation
Bhaskarabhatla Ravi Kumar’s writing makes a sharp pivot away from the initial caution. The song claims “Queen Alcohol” unites the cool dude and the person with no food. This turn redefines the track’s purpose from a warning to an endorsement.
Thaagubothu MaharajulandharikiTo all the great kings of drunkards,
Peru Peruna NamaskaramI offer my respects to each and every one of you.
This Matter IsThis is the matter.
Deeni Ardham EmitanteWhat this means is,
Baadhalu Marchipovataanikito forget your sorrows,
Peethalla Thaguthunnarukaniyou’re all drinking like there’s no tomorrow,
Lopala Liver Dobbuthundanibut inside, your liver is getting destroyed.
Aarogyam Shed KeltundaniYour health is going down the drain,
Jindagi Barbad Ayipothundaniand your life is getting ruined.
Asalu ThelusukoreYou don’t realize this at all.

Dhuma Paanam Madyapaanam Maa Cheddadi Ra AbbayiSmoking and drinking are very bad, my boy.
Ani Entha Cheppina VinareNo matter how many times we say it, you just don’t listen.
Meelantollakosame Yamudu Pakka Seat Ready Ga UndiFor people like you, ‘Yama’ the god of death has the next seat ready.

Abbe Maaku Theliyadu Mari AntaaraOh, are you going to say you don’t know all this?
Thaagandi Oogandi Mee Chaavu Meeru ChaavandraThen drink, sway, and go die your own deaths.
Quarter Bottle Jaanedunna Matter BodedundiA quarter bottle is just a hand’s span, but it holds so much substance.
Maatalu Botthiga Raanodichestha Paatalu PaadisthundiIt can make a person who can’t speak a word suddenly sing songs.
Deenini Minchina SwargamannadiA heaven greater than this,
Swargamulo Kooda Undadannadidoesn’t even exist in heaven itself.
Cheera Kattina Chilaka Laaga Chilled Beer Pongi PoraleLike a beautiful parrot in a ‘saree’, the chilled beer froths and overflows.
Kannu Kotti Pilavagaane Manasu EgireThe moment it winks and calls, my heart soars.

Jingidi Music Video
The song presents the self-aware choice to find temporary escape in a destructive substance. A character accepts the consequences for a brief feeling of power. This “Jingidi” lyrics meaning reveals a character study in playful contradiction.
