Ee Nallani Raalalo Yeh Kannulu Dhaageno; Ee Bandala Maatuna Yeh Gundelu Mrogeno

Ee Nallani Raalalo

Paapaalaku Thaapaalaku Bahu Dhooramulonunnavi; Paapaalaku Thaapaalaku Bahu Dhooramulonunnavi

Munulavole Kaaradavula Moolalandhu Padiyunnavi; Ee Nallani Raalalo

Kadhalalevu Medhalalevu Pedhavi Vippi Palukalevu; Kadhalalevu Medhalalevu Pedhavi Vippi Palukalevu

Vuli Alikidi Vinnanthane; Vuli Alikidi Vinnanthane Jala Jalamani Pongi Poralu; Ee Nallani Raalalo

Paina Katinamanipinchunu Lona Venna Kanipinchunu; Paina Katinamanipinchunu Lona Venna Kanipinchunu

Jeevamunna Manishikanna Silale Nayamani Pinchunu

Ee Nallani Raalalo Yeh Kannulu Dhaageno; Ee Bandala Maatuna Yeh Gundelu Mrogeno

Ee Nallani Raallalo
