Kollo geleya nanna ee hrudayaTake my heart, my dear friend.
Sweekarisuveyaa nanna ee hareyaWill you accept this youth of mine?
Munsoocheneya needo iniyaGive me a sign, my darling.
Uttarisuveya nanna ee kareyaWill you answer this call of mine?
Nannella kanasina aramanegeTo the palace of all my dreams,
Shringaara maadu olagolagedecorate it from deep within.
Ninnella vayasina seremanegeTo the prison of your youthful years,
Balagaalanittu olabaraleemay I step inside ‘with my right foot’ for a lucky start?

Khaasagi niddeya mosadi kaddeyaYou’ve deceitfully stolen my private sleep.
Laasyada chitrake chukkiya itteyaaYou’ve placed a ‘mark of beauty’ on the portrait of grace.
Hubbu higgo sogasu reppege lli purasuThe beauty of your arched brows leaves no rest for my eyes.
Kolahala manasu komuvaada vayasuMy mind’s in turmoil during this tender age.
Raashi hottha kanasu aase thappa thilisuI carry a mountain of dreams; tell me if my desires are wrong.
Mookhavaagi natisu hennu thanava vashisuAct silently and surrender to your womanhood.
Ondene baduku saavira todakuLife is just one, but there are a thousand complications.
Bandaru bidenu ninna kaiyana naaEven if they come, I won’t ever let go of your hand.

Yaako bayasi hrudaya saalu maadithekewhy did my heart crave it and wait in line?
Ayyo onti samaya yaako banda hareyaOh, in this lonely time, why has this passion arrived?
Summanaagi yaako kaddu hoyithenneWhy did it just quietly steal away?
Onchooru nanage kodu baare salugeCome and give me just a little bit of intimacy.
Haagene hata maado hrudayakke niDo that for this heart that’s so stubborn.
O oho hrudayaOh, this heart.
Oho hrudayaOh, heart.
