Kuladalli Keelyavudo, Huchappa!
Which caste is inferior, Oh crazy!

Mathadalli Melyavudo

Hutti sayuva halu manusa manusana madhye
Between humans who born and die all the same,

Keelyavudu Melyavudu, haahaahaahaa 2x
Who is inferior and who is superior ?

(Hey thayakku tha digadathai thayakku tha digadathai 
Ho ditiri ha ditiri ha dittiridittiri)

Vibhuthi balidhare kailasa baradu 2x

Itta gandha boodhi naama 2x
All the devotional symbols you display

Chatta katthalu nirnaama
Will be doomed once you are in coffin

Be it higher class, middle class, lower class

Saththa mele samaragtaaro
Everyone is equal once dead

Thalegondhu reethi neethiya jathiya 2x
New etiquette, new principle, new caste

Heluva jogi sidharu gurugalu 2x

By this Veerabahu in this burial ground

Kaiyya melgade boodhi yagtaru
They become ashes by my hand
