{ Kudagu malai kaatril varum paatu kekudha en paingili } (2)
Edho ninaivu thaan unna chuthi parakudhu
Ennoda manasu thaan kandapadi thavikudhu
Oththa vazhi en vazhi thaanae maanae
Kudagu malai kaatril varum paatu kekudha en paingili

Maanae mayilae maragadha kuyilae Thaenae naan paadum themaangae
Poovae pozhudhae pongi varum amudhae Kaadhil kettayo en vaakae
Unna enni naan thaan oru oorgolam ponen Thannandhaniyaga nikum ther polae aanen

Poo pootha solaiyilae ponnana maalaiyilae Nee vandha velaiyilae mayilae
Neer pootha kannu rendu Neengaadha dhagam kondu paadum paatu

{ Kudagu malai kaatril oru paatu paaduthu indha paingili } (2)

Marandhal thaanae nenaikanum mama Ninaivae needhaanae needhaanae
Manasum manasum inainjadhu mama Nenachu thavichenae naandhaanae
Solli vitta paatu theku kaathoda keten Thoodhu vitta raasa manam thadumaara maten

Oorenna sonna enna onnaaga ninna enna Un perai paadi nipen mama
Thoongama unna enni thudichalae Indha kanni vaa mama

Kudagu malai kaatril varum paatu kekudha en paingili

Edho ninaivu thaan unna chuthi parakudhu
Ennoda manasu thaan kandapadi thavikidhu

Oththa vazhi en vazhi thaanae maanae

Kudagu malai kaatril oru paatu paaduthu indha paingili

Kudagu malai kaatril varum paatu kekudha en paingili
