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
