Lyrics transliterated:
Kalise Prati Sandhyalo Kalige Pulakintalo; Kalise Prati Sandhyalo Kalige Pulakintalo
Naatyaalanni Karagaali; Neelo Nene Migalaali; Naatyaalanni Karagaali; Neelo Nene Migalaali
Kalise Prati Sandhyalo Palike Prati Andelo
Pongipoda Saagaraatma Ningiki; Cherukoda Chandra Hrudayam Neetiki
Srustilona Undi Ee Bandhame; Allukundi Antataa Andame
Tonike Bidiyam Tolagaalee; Vanike Adharam Pilavaalee
Kalise Prati Sandhyalo Palike Prati Andelo
Menitone Aagutaayi Mudralu; Gunde Daaka Saagutaayi Muddulu
Vinta Teepi Kontagaa Panchuko; Vennelanta Kallalo Nimpuko
Bratuke Jatagaa Paaraalee; Paruvam Teeram Cheraalee
Kalise Prati Sandhyalo Palike Prati Andelo; Kalise Prati Sandhyalo Palike Prati Andelo
Naatyaalanni Karagaali; Neelo Nene Migalaali
Naatyaalanni Karagaali; Neelo Nene Migalaali
Kalise Prati Sandhyalo Kalige Pulakintalo
