Wikipedia article




'Huttidare Kannada Nadal Huttabeku' is a Kannada song composed and written by Hamsalekha for the 1993 film 'Aakasmika'. It was sung by Kannada cinema's most celebrated actor, Dr. Rajkumar, who also performed to the song in the film. The song was considered a turning point in Kannada cinema and took Rajkumar's image to new heights.

In the song, the narrator asserts pride in being a Kannadiga. The chorus runs:

::

::

::

::If you are to be born, take birth in the Kannada land;

::If you are to step on, step on the Kannada soil;

::This life is like a landaus (horse chariot);

::Chariot that drives forward our fate.

Due to its themes representing the pride in being a Kannadiga, the song is widely embraced and still seen as the unofficial anthem for the Kannada people.
