Pallavi

Paraku chesina neekemi,
Balamu kaligera parathpara

Anupallavi

Suraavanu suraptha maa,
Va Raja rapa gana naa yeda


Charanam

Mudhana needhu paadaravinda,
Mulanu patti mrokka kaletha,
Nidhana roopa tharitha bule,
Thu dara Sri Thyagaraja nutha.

English Translation

Pallavi

Nothing would happen to you,
If you are disinterested,
Because you are divine God

Anupallavi

You are friend of devas and Brahmins,
You are consort of Goddess Lakshmi,
You are pretty and ever young,


Charanam

Did I not happily salute you catching your feet,
Oh God who is the first of everything,
Oh God who has a pretty form,
I do not have any other resort,
And you are charitable by nature,
And why indifference towards this Thyagaraja.
