Ninna baLLiye iruva thavaka

etha nOdidaru atha huchu suLLara kAta
neenilladiruva illi hEge nadesali Aata?

IshtAda mele innyEke thada ariye?
Inneshtu kalialideyO illi? inneshtideyO pAat(h)a?

NAnu, nannadu emba ee huchara seLLedAta
NOdalarenu shivane, thALLalArenee mAata

Elli hOdaru illinda, Enu mAdidaru sariye
Ninna dhyAnavonde sAku, ninage kay mugive

AadidAtavu sAku, pattiruva bage sAku
Ee nanthara mAthra kareduko ninna baLLiye

ThAyi thande yanthe, akka thangiyaranthe
maguvanthe, mariyanthe, idu yAva santhe?

KashtagaLanu varavAgi kottu kApAdida ninna
Enendu hOgaLlali ida hElu mathe


InyAva kAllaji enage, yAva bayake?
sthiravilladee kathege nA padenu chinthe

Hididiruve nee enna ninna koosanthe
BidabEda  hagaliruLLu ashte mathe!
