Netturanta udiki poolabottu diddeleBoiling blood becomes the mark of the ’tilak’ on his brow
Dandugutti tootallanni danda ayeleAll the bullets collected form a victory garland

Adugeste bhoogolameIf you take a single step, the entire world
BhookampamavvaaliraaMust tremble in an earthquake
Velugaina nee mundaraEven the light must go and hide
Cheekatla chaatullo nakkaaliraaWithin the shadows of the dark
Eduroste aakaashameIf the heavens ever dare to challenge you,
PaathaalamavvalliraaThey’ll be cast down to the ‘Paathaalam’ underworld
