மா தெலுகு³ தல்லிகி மல்லெ பூத³ண்ட³

A garland of Jasmines for our Mother Telugu,
Veneration to the great Mother that birthed us,
With gold in thy belly and grace in thine eyes,
O Mother, from whose smile wealth doth flow!

Full of life and vigor, the river Godavari
Flowing excitedly, the river Krishna
Crops like gold shall they yield bountiful
Gems glinting and shining shall roll forth.

Until the exotic sculptures of Amaravati
The riveting voice of Tyāgayya in his songs
The wondrous writings of Tikkayya have
Truly and gloriously withstood the test of time.

Rudramma's strength and Mallamma's fidelity
Timmarasu's courage and Krishnadevaraya's glory
Until our ears ring with the pleasantries
Thy songs shall we sing, thy games shall we play
Victory to our Mother Telugu, Victory to our Mother Telugu.
