Kada thera ratha manasa

Kada thera ratha manasa

By

Saint Thyagaraja

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

Raga Thodi
Thala Aadhi

Pallavi

Kada thera latha manasa

Anupallavi

Edaleka bhajana chesi nee,
Edakalku nijamu thappurala thelisi

Charanam

Kala chitha loukikamanu srung
Kalamanthu thagalalakaye yuloo,
Kala pathiniki nija dhasuda
Velasillu Thyagaraja mada vini

English Translation

Pallavi

Oh mind , can you not get out of this mire,

Anupallavi

Can you not without break sing prayers,
And know what is right and what is wrong.

Charanam

Can you not become real slave to Krishna,
Who was tied to the mortar and not get chained,
To the path followed by bad people,
And follow the words of Thyagaraja.
