Dhandoraa’s Pilla Lyrics Translation
The male protagonist declares the woman is his final destination, or “true address.” In response, the female protagonist affirms this destiny, stating she feels she was born for him. Their dialogue confirms a shared, fated connection between the characters played by Shivaji, Navdeep, and others.
Hey Dhandora KottukunduroHey, let’s make a grand proclamation.
Gundello KottagundhiroThere’s a new sound in my heart.
Ningi Nela IlaThe sky, the earth, this place,
Are Dhaari Kudhirindhelahey, how did the path become so clear?
Kallaara ChoodabotinoI’m about to see it with my own eyes.
Kallolam Laaga UntadheIt’s going to be a beautiful chaos.
Dhaagi Dhaagi Ala DhaggarayipoyaveemilaHiding and hiding, how did you come so close to me like this?
Pilla IttasoodaveOh girl, look this way.
Tongi Nannu Choodave Gundelone UnnavaLean in and look at me, you’re right here in my heart.
Nuvvele Naa ChirunaamaYou are my true address.
Pilla IttasoodaveOh girl, look this way.
Tongi Nannu Choodave Mandho Maako PettaveLean in and look at me, you’ve cast a spell on me.
Mundhu Yenaka NuvveneYou’re all that’s before and after me.
Ooge Ooge Naa Jhumka Nee Choopulane PilichaakaMy earrings sway and sway now that your gaze has called to them.
Paadam Kadhile Nee Venaka Maayam AyipodhaaminkaaMy feet move to follow you, let’s just disappear together now.
Neelaakaasham Atu Pakka Oorokatundhata O PillagaOn the other side of the blue sky, they say there’s a village, my boy.
Egiroddhaama Enchakka Yevaru Gurtincharu GanukaShall we fly away there together, since no one will recognize us?
Baava Itu Soodaro Tongi Nannu SoodaroMy love, look this way, lean in and see me.
Gundelone Unnavu Raasista Neeku Naa PremaYou are right here in my heart, I’ll sign my love over to you.
Baava Puttinaanuro Bhaagyam ChesinaavuroMy love, I feel I was born for you, you have made me so fortunate.
Kottesaavo Manasaara Gundelona DhandoraWith all your heart, you have sounded that drum within mine.
Hey Dhandora KottukunduroHey, let’s make a grand proclamation.
Gundello KottagundhiroThere’s a new sound in my heart.
Ningi Nela IlaThe sky, the earth, this place,
Are Dhaari Kudhirindhelahey, how did the path become so clear?
Kallaara ChoodabotinoI’m about to see it with my own eyes.
Kallolam Laaga UntadheIt’s going to be a beautiful chaos.
Dhaagi Dhaagi Ala DhaggarayipoyaveemilaHiding and hiding, how did you come so close to me like this?
