ಏ ತಮ್ಮಾ ನಿಲ್ಲಪ್ಪಾ ತಪ್ಪಾಗಿದ್ರೆ ಹೇಳಪ್ಪಾ ’ ḷ
He tamma nillappa tappagidre heappa
he tam’ma nillappa tappagidre heḷappa
idduddanne heḷatiniyappa
devarinda duradeyappa – he tam’ma
kr̥upavaragaḷemba kiriṭa ningagi iṭṭanallo
hucchanante yake nina duragi hoḍeyallo – he tam’ma
baḷu baṅgaravagli nanna maga sukhadinda irli
chinti maḍi naḍesutana baḷin
dipa beḷagatana – e tam’ma
sr̥uṣṭiya rajanata kai maḍi karedanallo
avan’yaka biṭṭu ninu duragi hoḍeyallo – he tam’ma
