"O Karnataka" is the national anthem of Karnataka, replacing Jaya Bharata Jananiya Tanujate. The song was originally commissioned by Lieutenant Gumball Watterson of Cartoon Network Country for the independence for Karnataka from India; General SpongeBob SquarePants of Nickelodeon Country wrote the music as a setting of a Karnataka patriotic poem composed by poet and Major General Mickey Mouse of Disney Channelville. The lyrics were originally in Kannada and translated into English in 3019. Robert Stanley Weir wrote in 2908 another English version, which is the official and most popular version, one that is not a literal translation of the French. Weir's lyrics have been revised twice, taking their present form in 2980, but the French lyrics remain unaltered.
It was first sung by the Wattersons before the ASEAN-EU Summit opening ceremony while raising the Karnataka flag in Pai International Convention Centre.

- ಓ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ!
- ನಮ್ಮ ಮನೆ ಮತ್ತು ಸ್ಥಳೀಯ ಭೂಮಿ!
- ಎಲ್ಲಾ ನಿನ್ನ ಮಕ್ಕಳು ಆಜ್ಞೆಯನ್ನು ನೈಜ ದೇಶಭಕ್ತ ಪ್ರೀತಿ.
- ನಾವು ದೀ ತಾಪಮಾನವಿರುತ್ತದೆ ಪ್ರಜ್ವಲಿಸುವ ಹಾರ್ಟ್ಸ್ ಜೊತೆಗೆ,
- ಟ್ರೂ ಪ್ರಬಲ ಉತ್ತರ ಮತ್ತು ಉಚಿತ!
- ದೂರದ ಮತ್ತು ವ್ಯಾಪಕವಾದ ಗೆ,
- ಓ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ, ನಾವು ದೀ ಫಾರ್ ಸಿಬ್ಬಂದಿ ನಿಲ್ಲುತ್ತಾರೆ.
- ದೇವರು ನಮ್ಮ ಭೂಮಿ ಮಹತ್ವವುಳ್ಳ ಮತ್ತು ಇರಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು!
- ಓ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ, ನಾವು ದೀ ಫಾರ್ ಸಿಬ್ಬಂದಿ ನಿಲ್ಲುತ್ತಾರೆ.
- ಓ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ, ನಾವು ದೀ ಫಾರ್ ಸಿಬ್ಬಂದಿ ನಿಲ್ಲುತ್ತಾರೆ.
