Grandpa is coming!
He is going to make you scream in pain!
He is going to crush you completely!
He is going to wear you down!
Grandpa is coming...
He is going to make you scream in pain!
He is going to make you shriek in terror!
He is going to make you blabber in panic!
Grandma!
Top class, solid quality, he is totally wild, man!
In his action, he is a bomb, hey, hey!
When giving shocks, he is the undisputed boss, man!
Do not mess with him and give him trouble,
Grandpa will pull out his lethal weapons!
He is a one-man army, man!
The entire country is his fan, man!
We are making them scream in pain, letting them scream,
Screaming, screaming, screaming, screaming,
Screaming, crushing them till they burst!
Dude!
Crushing them till they burst, over and over,
Crushing, crushing, crushing, crushing,
Crushing and wearing them down!
Babe!
Making them shriek in terror, over and over,
Shrieking, shrieking, shrieking, shrieking,
Shrieking, shrieking, shrieking, shrieking,
Stripping the skin off their backs!
Grandma!
Making them blabber in panic, over and over and over,
Blabbering, blabbering, blabbering, blabbering,
Blabbering, blabbering, blabbering, blabbering,
Making them scream in pain!
Watch out and protect your head!
If he gets heated, he will deliver a heavy blow!
Once his mind is fixed on the target,
He plays as ruthless as a thug!
Left to themselves, they would sell off the entire town!
Just mention his name, and it finishes them off!
Just like being hit by a heavy dose of drugs,
Your legs will wobble and shake!
Shining bright on his belt,
Is pure steel, he is Netaji's man!
His powerful vibe is on another level!
The skin around your mouth will tear off!
Why make a corrupt deal?
Torn to shreds, boom! Say no, no to bribes!
We are making them scream in pain, letting them scream,
Screaming, screaming, screaming, screaming,
Screaming, crushing them till they burst!
Dude!
Crushing them till they burst, over and over,
Crushing, crushing, crushing, crushing,
Crushing and wearing them down!
Babe!
Making them shriek in terror, over and over,
Shrieking, shrieking, shrieking, shrieking,
Shrieking, shrieking, shrieking, shrieking,
Stripping the skin off their backs!
Grandma!
Making them blabber in panic, over and over and over,
Blabbering, blabbering, blabbering, blabbering,
Blabbering, blabbering, blabbering, blabbering,
Making them scream in pain!
Grandpa is coming, he is trending on Facebook!
He arrives at seven o'clock to unleash a nightmare!
Grandpa is coming, he is going to swirl his lethal pressure-point fingers!
He is going to churn their guts and make them scream in pain!
We are making them scream in pain, letting them scream,
Screaming, screaming, screaming, screaming,
Screaming, crushing them till they burst!
Dude!
Crushing them till they burst, over and over,
Crushing, crushing, crushing, crushing,
Crushing and wearing them down!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Kadharavudrom (Thatha Varaarey) from Indian 2 (2024) is a fast-paced, high-energy anthem celebrating the return of Senapathy, the iconic elderly vigilante played by Kamal Haasan. Penned by Rokesh using punchy Chennai/Madras Bashai, the track serves as a fierce warning to corrupt officials, bad actors, and bribetakers, signaling that the formidable 'Thatha' is back to restore justice.
