Popular Ugadi Song Lyrics

Ugadi Ugadi Oh Swamy! Raavaa, maakai neevu
Raagaalivi poovulai neekai ponge maalo evo ||

Bhaavaalivigo palike svaagatham
Virodhivo Saadhuvo kaalaaniki levule
Bhedaalilalo tharachi choodagaa ||

Nee vaaramu snehamuto unnaamu kadaa
Kashtaallo Soukhyaallo vishvaasamuto
Unname nee maate vinname innaalloo

Ugadi vela chilipiga kokilamma vese eelate
Karigina panjaralalona palikina panchadara veena

Kondalu taki chali konalu soki
Allari chese nemalendalalona
Ye vanavillu rege nalo
Pavada katti toli prayamu nade
Vakili teese priya vanchalu nede
Uyyalaluge uhalenno
Jalakamulade chilakamma
Puli yeduraite parugamma
Vetadagi pata medi verri bhamalu

Neeti nere selayekiti yerai
Cheeraga mari chilikintalalona
Cheammakaina chengu jare
Nelati reve cherasalaga mari
Chakkiliginte tagilinchina vela
Ye kondagalo kongulage
Puli yevarantaa chali komma
Gilipedutundi yedalona
Sheeghrameva vyaghramoste dikku ledule
