kanala chilaka kanala chilaka ye kana chilaka idi
chinukoutundo? pidugoutundo? mayamaipotundo!
kulukumani meruposte - vaste
ulikipadi nenunte - unte

yenduko cheppagarani tappudu vancha kaliginade
adi pettina yerranibottadi, na gundeku guchhukupoyene...
kosa choopuku yemukalu podipodi aayane

yevaro yevaro ee chilakevaro yekkadi chilaka idi
chinukoutundo pidugoutundo mayamaipotundo

kaliki sirulu galiki kurulu kannalokame sai sai
tummedalamtani kammani momunu kanna vanale hay hay
