Meaning :

Jasmin garland for our telugu talli

aarathi to our mother land

there is gold in her belly,

and kindness in her eyes

pearls in her laughter, has my mother

river godavari flows here

river krishnaruns through this blessed land

golden crops grow here

and pearls flow in this land

the preacious sculptures of amaravathi,

and the songs tuned by 'tyagayya'

the sweetness of 'tikkanna's writing

as they stay forever immortalized

The courage of 'rudramma' - the loyality of 'mallamma'

the wit of 'timmarusu' - the fame of 'krishna devaraya'

until the sound resonates in every ear

we play your tunes - we sing your song

jai telugu talli, jaitelugu talli....
