Nuggi Hodi Lyrics Translation – Shankar Mahadevan

Prem’s opens with mythological examples to set a ruthless tone, suggesting you can only rely on yourself in a brutal world. He grounds this harsh reality by asking a central question, ‘Who is the father of sin?’ (Paap Ka Baap Kaun Hai). The writer describes a landscape where tears are worthless and defeat means a warrior’s death.

Pallavi:Chorus:
Rowdisamge Guruve IllaThere is no teacher for the criminal world.
Macchigannthu Karune IllaAnd a weapon certainly has no mercy.
Paap Ka Baap Kaun HaiWho is the father of sin?
Saala Baap Ka Baap Kaun HaiDamn, who is the father of that father?
Charana 1:Verse 1:
Ramaninde Hanuma Idda Adake Avanu Lanke GeddaHanuman stood firmly behind Lord Rama, and that’s why he conquered Lanka.
Parthaninde Krishna Idda, Adake Avanu Kurukshetra GeddaLord Krishna stood by Arjuna, and that’s why he won the Kurukshetra war.
Ninge Yaaru Illa Guru, Illi Ninge Neene Ella GuruBut you don’t have anyone, my friend. Here, you must be your own master and everything.
Paap Ka Baap Kaun HaiWho is the father of sin?
Saala Baap Ka Baap Kaun HaiDamn, who is the father of that father?
Charana 2:Verse 2:
Kannirigilli Beleye Illa Beeso Macchu Chadurogli Ella…Tears have absolutely no value here, as the swinging blades scatter everything…
Baayi Teredu Bhoomi Thaayi Kaayutihalu Bisi RakthakaagiMother Earth has opened her mouth, waiting to consume the fresh blood.
Gedre Neenu Simhasana,If you win, the throne is yours,
Sothre Illi Veera Marana…but if you lose, it’s a warrior’s death here…
Paap Ka Baap Kaun HaiWho is the father of sin?
Saala Baap Ka Baap Kaun HaiDamn, who is the father of that father?
