Ishtu kaala ottigiddu eshtu beretaru
Aritevenu naavu namma antaralava

~ Have we really understood the depth of each others feelings, having spent all of this time so closely together?

Kadala mele saviraru maili sagiyu
Neerinala tiliyitenu hayi donige
~ Has the boat that has sailed across a thousand miles really understood the depth of the ocean?

(Chorus)
Ishtu kaala ottigiddu eshtu beretaru
Aritevenu naavu namma antaralava

Sadakala tabbuvante mele bagiyu
Manna muttu dorakitenu neeli banige
~ Has the blue sky that always appears to touch the earth ever felt the kiss of the soil?

(Chorus)
Ishtu kala ottigiddu eshtu beretaru
Aritevenu naavu namma antaralava

Saviraru mukhada cheluva hididu toriyu
Ondadaru uliyite kannadiya palige
~ Has the mirror that has managed to reflect the beauty of a thousand faces ever been able to keep at least one such reflection for itself?

(Chorus)
Ishtu kaala ottigiddu eshtu beretaru
Aritevenu naavu namma antaralava
