Chuttu Pakkala Choodara Lyrics & Meaning
------------------------------------------------------

Chuttoo pakkala choodara chinnavada
Chukkallo chupu chikkukunnavada

Kalla mundhu katika nijam
Kaanaleni guddi japam
Saadhinchadu ye paramardham
Bratukunu kaaniyaku vyardham

Chuttoo pakkala choodara chinnavada
Chukkallo chupu chikkukunnavada

Swargaalanu andukonalani vadiga gudi metlekkevu
Saati manishi vedana chustoo jali leni silavainavu
Karunanu maripincheda chaduvu samskaram ante
Gunde bandaga marcheda saampradaayamante

Chuttoo pakkala chudara chinnavada
Chukkallo chupu chikkukunnavada

Nuvvu tine prati oka methuku ee sangham pandinchindi
Garvinche nee ee brathuku ee samajame malachindi
Runam teerchu tarunam vaste tappinchukupothunnava
Teppa tagalabettestaava yeru daatagane

Chuttoo pakkala chudara chinnavada
Chukkallo chupu chikkukunnavada

Kalla mundhu katika nijam
Kaanaleni guddi japam
Saadhinchadu ye paramardham
Bratukunu kaaniyaku vyardham

Chuttoo pakkala chudara chinnavada
Chukkallo chupu chikkukunnavada

Translation in English

Look around my dear boy

And the one with the gaze stuck in the stars !

Right in front of your eyes is harsh reality, 
which your blind prayers fail to see,

These prayers will not achieve any greater meaning,

And so don’t waste your life.

Look around my dear boy

And the one with the gaze stuck in the stars !

You quickly climb up the temple stairs to reach heaven,

And watching your fellow humans suffer you have become a cold stone/deity ,

Is education something that makes one forget compassion ?

Is tradition something that turns heart into a stone ?

Look around my dear boy

And the one with the gaze stuck in the stars !

Every single grain you eat is made by this society,

And this life of which you are so proud of, is shaped by the society,

And when the time comes for a payback,
Are you escaping away?

Will you burn the boat once you cross the stream?

Look around my dear boy

And the one with the gaze stuck in the stars !

Right in front of your eyes is harsh reality, 
which your blind prayers fail to see,

These prayers will not achieve any greater meaning,

And so don’t waste your life.

Look around my dear boy

And the one with the gaze stuck in the stars !
