English translation

Pallavi

Oh Rama, who lies down on the ocean of milk.
Can you not keep me in your memory.

Anupallavi

I have hears a bout your speedily coming,
To save the king of elephants

Charanam

I have heard about the act of your giving Sari to a gem of a lady,
I have heard of your putting an end of imprisonment of the brave Ramadasa
I have heard of the fame of your crossing the sea for the sake of the fish eyed one,
All this being the flow of your mercy, Thyagaraja requests you to remove his worries.
