Pallavi

Nee daya raada?

Anupallavi

Kaadu yenuvaru evaru kalyani rama?

Charanam

1.Nannu brochuvarilenu nade teliya,
Ina vamsa thilaka neek intha thamasama?

2.Anniyhikina adhi karudani nee pogadithe,
Mannin chithe needu mahimakku thakkuva

3.Rama rama rama Thyagaraja hrud sadana,
Na madi thalladille nyayama vegame

English translation

Pallavi

Won’t your mercy come?

Anupallavi

Who is there who says “no” to it?

Charanam

1.Why this sort of delay by you,
Oh great one of the dynasty of the Sun,
When the whole world knows,
That there is no one else to protect me?

2.When you are famous as the one who is above all,
I agree that this is something small for your fame.

3.Oh Rama, Oh Rama, Oh Rama , who sits in the heart of Thyagaraja,
The peace of mind is broken, Is it just, come quickly.
