Cheliya

Mande sureedalle ninde nippulalle

Bhaga bhaga mandei ne hrudayam

Ponge uppanalle minge mruthyuvalle

Paga paga mande na hrudayam

Ila ila jvalinchuthondi na yada

Yedarila chelinche na kala

Cheliya cheliya cheliya cheliya

Masi chesthunde ee duram

Cheliya cheliya na oopriri lo ninde unde ne pranam

Puvvedo nannu thaikthe navvedo nannu cherithe

Nuvedo anna theepi gnapakam

Vennellu vennu meetithe kanneellu kannu datithe

Nannallukuna chupu gnaapakam

Prathi dinam prathi kshanam ne prema lo pradakshanam

Theginchamani nanne thakshanam

Cheliya cheliya cheliya cheliya masi chesthunde ee duram

Cheliya cheliya na oopriri lo ninde unde ne pranam

Prayanamaaye jeevitham pramadamaye na padam

Shareeramaaye maranaayudham

Naraala raktha sagaram kanaala agni parvatham

Kalesi raase mruthyu saasanam

Oke vratham vinasanam

Oke vidham vidhvamsanam

Na vetakinka lede viramanam

Cheliya cheliya cheliya cheliya masi chesthunde ee dooram

Cheliya cheliya na oopriri lo ninde unde nee pranam ^[1]
