deshakke yodha nadige raitha

balige guruvobba tane

akshara kaliso ajnana aliso avanoonu annadatane

thappu sariya thiddi tili heli sama buddhi

namma chittha suddhi ago hadi

eshte dhoora hodru maribeda nina beru

ninna sadhanegella iduve adi

patashala patashala patashala patashala

deshakkey yodha nadige raitha

balige guruvobba tane

akshara kaliso ajnana aliso

avanoonu annadatane

prathiyondu mathu kalitha jaga

prathi hejje guruthu aritha jaga

kanasugala jothege nadeda jaga

snehithara preethi padeda jaga

yellaru onde illi melu keelilla

jnanada hasividdaga modhalu koneyilla

manaye modhala shale tayine guruvu

tayigu pata helida guruve harivu

yella dhanaku shreshta vidhiye ennuvudannu

tilida desha namadu vishwadha kannu

munde guri irabeku hinde guri irabeku

nambi nadedare saku sarthaka badhuku

patashala patashala

patashala patashala

bereyodu hege kandiddilli

jotheyagi hanchi tindiddilli

hiriyarige talebagi nintiddilli

badukuva reeti kalitiddilli

shikshana shikshe alla namma kayuva rakshe

pustaka hidida kaiyi saridariya nakshe

tande tayi dudime namma belavanige

tiddo guruvina talme namma baravanige.
