Saadhi Saadhi
B Jaya Kumar | S.A. Rajkumar • From “Vaa Pagandaya”
Saadhi Saadhi Lyrics Translation (from “Vaa Pagandaya”)
B. Jaya Kumar asks which caste claimed the first human born on Earth. He states love requires no caste labels, rejecting artificial divisions. The lyrics oppose caste-based violence and honor killings explicitly.
Saathi Saathi EndruStop torturing us by chanting ‘Caste, Caste’.
Saavaduchathu PothumWe have had enough of this deadly harassment.
Saathi Illa SamuthayamWe need a society free of caste,
Ippave Inga VenamAnd we need it right here, right now.
Aadhi Manusan BoomiyilaWhen the first human appeared on Earth,
Endha Saathiyil PoranthanTell me, into which caste was he born?
Adha Aaranju Paathu SollaIs there anyone here who can research that
Evanda Inga IrukkanAnd give us a real answer?
Intha Saathi ArasiyalWe don’t need this caste-based politics
Namma Naatuku VenamFor our country anymore.
Endha Saathi PerumaiyumWe don’t need any caste pride
Namma Veetuku VenamInside our homes either.
Ayya AnndayinnuCalling people ‘Master’ or ‘Lord’,
Evankaalaiyum Sorinjida VenamWe don’t need to grovel at anyone’s feet.
Saathi Saathi EndruStop torturing us by chanting ‘Caste, Caste’.
Saavaduchathu PothumWe’ve had enough of this deadly harassment.
Saathi Illa SamuthayamWe need a society free of caste,
Ippave Inga VenamAnd we need it right here, right now.
