Eath Porluda Base Namma Tulu
Saro Esalda thamare;
Pandibaaid kndi Kebit
urkundu amrthada nure nure.
Appe perda oppa jathind
maite manased dinjind,
nidre kanatla appe pathero
jeevode soro sayrind
Yetharettaro guddeberit
neelo neerda kadala barit
kalame kammenodinji kando

Mitta sorgoda petta, kanji

Daitha saald maratha mayld
giliyo kalakala koogile;
veeneragoda thanthi kaynodu.
paatherodu tulu jokule.
Agela thigaleda galla meeseda

Akule tuluvere porlu ponjovu
mugurumallige theliked,
sal saled sele seled

Mella mellag gali beejundu

Gudde yeriyer, kadal dantiyer

Budugadeda siri bolpu thojind
gandhi thapasda punyodu:
desodeddeg basededdeg
