What is great pleasure,

You are getting by telling many lies?

Kalamu ponu mata  nilusunu ,

Kalyana Rama   nadho

Time  would   become past,

But only words only  remain, Oh Kalyana Rama

Charanam

Thalli thandri nenunda ,

Thakkina bhayamela  rayani,

Palumaru  nee venthio Basalu chesi,

Ilalo   sarivaralalo,

Yenthentho brochundi pedh-,

Dhalatho  Balki meppinchi  Thyagarajunitho.

Charanam

Several times telling  that “When I am there,

Ass your father  as well as mother , why this ,

Unnecessary fear  for you” and have   saved,

Many people like me and have proved  it,

As true with several great ones and in spite of that,

What pleasure  do you get in telling a lie to this Thyagraja
