Pallavi

Please tell Rama, Rama, Rama, Rama, Sita

Anupallavi

1.The name that fulfills all wishes of those,
Who sing it along following all rules

2.Will not the name of the lord of Gods be useful on that day

Charanam

1.When the soldiers of Yama come and ask us to start,
And put the noose and drag the soul , the name of Hari does not come in mind

2.When all the organs have failed and start troubling the body,
The name of the husband of the daughter of the sea ,
Does not stick to the body and help you.

3.When the heart and the breath become one and starts hardening,
The name of Krishna the son of Vasudeva does not come to our help.

4.When all the organs of this pretty body fails and are broken down,
And the soul reaches our eye, would the name of Ranga be of any help.

5.When air and bile merges with phlegm and comes to an end,
And the virility is no more there , would meditating on name of Ranga be of any help.

6.When the soul does not stand like stone or tree , and death approaches,
The words like Krishna and Padmanabha are like stones thrown in a well

7.If the soldiers Of Yama come and threaten us to start,
And the voice is broken and takes the soul , would the name of Hari be of any help.

8.Having come in the useless body , having performed only bad acts,
At the time of parting names of Purandara Vittala would not help.
Or
8.A.Having born in this worthless birth , having done only bad acts,
When going away, would name of Purandara Vittala be of any help
Or
8.B.Having lived as we like in this world , to get pleasures in heaven,
Would the meditation of Purandara Vittala help the mouth.
