Pallavi
Amma Ravamma thulasamma,
Nannu palimpavamma,
Sathathamu padamule namminanamma

Anupallavi

Nemmathini nee viha , parammulu osakudhuvu anusu,
Kamma vilthuni thandri kalanaina payadata.

Charanam

Nee mrudhu thanuvanu kani nee parimalamu kani,
Nee mahathwamunu kani, neerajakshi,
THama rasa dala nethru Thyagarajani mithru prematho,
Siramunannu pettu kondata.

English translation

Pallavi

Mother, please come, oh mother Thulasi
Please take care of me,
For I always believed in your feet.

Anupallavi

Knowing that you will grant peace here and in the heavens,
The father of the God of love, it seems would never leave your company.

Charanam

Seeing your soft body, seeing the sweet smell of yours,
Seeing your greatness, Oh Goddess with lotus like eyes,
The God with eyes like lotus leaf,
Who is a friend of Thyagaraja,
Kept you with love on his head.
