Lyrics transliterated:
Eh Deshamegina Endukalidina, Eh Peethamekhina Evvaredhuraina
Pogadara Nee Thalli Bhoomi Bharathini, Nilupara Nee Jathi Nindu Ghouravamu
Rayaprolannadu Aanadu, Adi Marachipovddu Yenadu
Puttindi Nee Mattilo Seetha, Roopu Kattindi Divya Bhagavadgheetha
Vedala Velisinaa Dharanira, Vedala Velisinaa Dharanira
Omkara Nadhalu Palikina Avanira
Ennenno Deshalu Kannu Theravani Nadu, Vikasinche Mananela Vighnana Kiranalu
Eh Deshamegina Endukalidina, Eh Peethamekhina Evvaredhuraina
Pogadara Nee Thalli Bhoomi Bharathini, Nilupara Nee Jathi Nindu Ghouravamu
Venneladhi Eh Mathamura?, Kokiladhi Eh Kulamura?
Galiki Eh Bhasha Undira?, Neetiki Eh Pranthamundira?
Galiki Neetiki Levu Bhedalu, Manashullo Endukee Thagadhalu
Kulamatha Vibhedhalu
Eh Deshamegina Endukalidina, Eh Peethamekhina Evvaredhuraina
Pogadara Nee Thalli Bhoomi Bharathini, Nilupara Nee Jathi Nindu Ghouravamu
Ghouthama Bhudhuni Bhodhalu Maravadhu, Ghandhi Choopina Margham Vidavadhu
Ghouthama Bhudhuni Bhodhalu Maravadhu, Ghandhi Choopina Margham Vidavadhu
Dveshalu Cheekatlu Tholaginchu, Shneha Dheepalu Intinta Veliginchu
Ikamathyame Jathiki Shreerama Raksha, Anduke Nirantharam Sagali Dheeksha
