ಏ ತಮ್ಮಾ ನಿಲ್ಲಪ್ಪಾ ತಪ್ಪಾಗಿದ್ರೆ ಹೇಳಪ್ಪಾ ’ ḷ

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
