Jai bharata jananiya tanujaate jai he Karnataka mate
Jaya sundara nadi vanagaLa naaDe jai he rasa rushigala beeDe.
Bhoodeviya mookutada nava maNiye gandhada chandada honnina gaNiye
Raghava madhusudhanaravatarisida bharata jananiya tanujaathe

Jananiya jogula vedada ghosha, jananige jeevavu ninnaavesha
Hasurina girigaLa saale, ninnaya koraLina maale
Kapila patanjala gautama jinanuta bharata jananiya tanujaathe

Shankara ramanuja vidyaraNya basaveshvarara madvara divyaranya
Ranna shadakshara ponna pampa lakumipati janna kumaravyasara mangala dhaama kavi kogilegala punyaraama
Nanaka raamananda kabirara bharata jananiya tanujaathe

Tailapa hoysalaraaLida naaDe dankana jakanara nechchina bide
Krishna sharavati tunga kaveriya vara ranga
Chaitanya paramahamsa vivekara bharata jananiya tanujaathe

Sarvajanaangada shantiya tOta rasikara kangaLa seleyuva noTa
Hindu chraista musalmaana paarasika jainarudyaana
Janakana holuva doregala dhaama gaayaka vainikararaama
Kannada nudi kunidaaduve geha Kannada taayiya makkaLa deha
Jai Bharata jananiya tanujaate jai he karnataka maathe

Jaya sundara nadi vanagaLa naaDe jai he rasa rushigala beeDe

Jai Bharata jananiya tanujaate jai he karnataka maathe

Victory to you Mother Karnataka,
The daughter of Mother India!
Hail the land of beautiful rivers and forests!
Hail the abode of saints and seers!

A new jewel in the crown of Goddess Earth,
You are a trove of sandalwood, beauty and gold.
Victory to you Mother Karnataka,
the daughter of Mother India,
where Rama and Krishna had their incarnations.

Resonance of the Vedas is the Mother’s lullaby,
Your fervour is what gives Her life.
Rows of green mountains are your necklaces.
Victory to you Mother Karnataka,
the daughter of Mother India
who is hailed by Kapila,
Patañjali, Gautama and Jina.

You are a sacred forest where Shankara, Ramanuja,
Vidyaranya, Basaveswara and Madhva dwelt.
You are the holy abode where Ranna,
Shadakshari, Ponna, Pampa,
Lakshmisa and Janna were born.
You are the blessed resting place of many a poet-nightingale.
Victory to you Mother Karnataka,
the daughter of Mother India
The progenitor of Nanak, Ramananda and Kabir.

This is the land ruled (in the past) by Tailapa and Hoysalas,
The beloved home of Dankana and Jakkana.
This land blessed with the waters of the Krishna,
Sharavathi, Tunga and Kaveri.
Victory to you Mother Karnataka,
The daughter of Mother India!
(The India) of Chaitanya, Paramahamsa and Swami Vivekananda.

Garden of peace for all communities,
A sight that allures the connoisseurs,
A garden where Hindus, Christians, Muslims,
Parsis and the Jains (can grow together);
The site where many kings like Janaka ruled;
A heaven for singers and musicians.

The body of the children of Mother Kannada!
The house where the Kannada Tongue plays in joy!
Victory to you Mother Karnataka,
The daughter of Mother India!
Hail the land of beautiful rivers and forests!
Hail the abode of saints and seers!
