kaanuvaase yenage indu

Avala kayya laasyadinda moodi banda baleya saddu

Naatyavado jadeya kucchu, kilakilane anakisuvudu nodu

Avala gejje daniyu bandu, mayyi navirelusuvudu nodu

Nannalidda kopavella, mughda mugulnagege sotu

Baraseledu appuva aase nodi naviragi tappisikondu


Baliyaliruva manikya da sobhaganu innu ariyenendu


Innashtu varusha tapava maadi nannu karunisiko yendu

Sullu kopa mukhada meliruva mughdeya kanuvase yenage indu





Transliterated in english for my friends who dont know kannada

The noise of the bangles coming from the actions of the hand

while the dancing ornament in the hair looks at me in contempt

the sound of the bells in her feet causes a sensation in me

as the inherent anger in me looses to the soft smile of hers

learning of my hearts intent as she escapes from my arms

she makes a face that I dont realise the value of what ruby i possess

and makes me realise that I would have to pray some more time for her

I want to see the innocent face with a false anger on her face today
