Chorus

sampige marada hasirele naduve kogile hadittu 2x

A Koyal bird was singing behind the green leaves of a Champak tree

chikkavva.. chikkavva... ennuta tannaya geleyara karedittu

It was calling its friends very happily

ada keli naa mai marete, swaravondu aagale kalite

Upon hearing that I lost myself, and learnt a new tone

haadide ee kavite, naa haadide ee kavite

Then I sang this song

Verse 1

doorada gudiyali poojeya velege ghanteyu molagittu 2x

The bells of the far ahead temple was ringing at the time of pooja (worship of the gods)

tann dann... tann dann.. ennuta sevege ellara karedittu

It was calling everyone for the ceremony

ada keli naa mai marete, swaravondu aagale kalite

Upon hearing that I lost myself, and learnt a new tone

haadide ee kavite, naa haadide ee kavite

Then I sang this song

Verse 2

hariyuva nadiyaa noduta ninte alegalu kunidittu 2x

I was watching the river where the waves were dancing

kala kala... kala kala... manjula naadavu kivigala tumbittu

Ears were filled with the melody (of the waves)

ada keli naa mai marete, swaravondu aagale kalite

Upon hearing that I lost myself, and learnt a new tone

haadide ee kavite, naa haadide ee kavite

Then I sang this song
