Charanam

Parithapamu theerpa lerairi-ani,

Saraguna ne bhayilu  deri vachi,

Parama Pavani, nee sannithi   jeri naa.

Charanam

1,I was not able to solve  my pitiable problems,

By requesting the rich people  of the earth and so,

I speedily   departed   and reached  your presence  ,

Oh Divinely pure one  .

2.Varidhi  mathhi   garvinchi   ee,

Vasudhagu   tha rananenchi  ninnu,

Sareku  Gani  thala vanchiyundu,

Dheera thanamu kalugu ninu poda ganchi naa

2.The ocean becoming proud  in her mind and,

Aimini     to come to this earth and every time,

 After seeing you   who is personification of courage,

After kloosing its bravery returned  back with bent head.

3.Kasu aasa leni  naa mathikki nee,

Karunaye Dhanamani  palki nindu,

AAsatho vachi   sannithiki   nija-

Dasuludaina   Thyagarajanu ki

3.To me whose mind  does not have  love for money  ,

And   after telling  that your pity is itself wealth.

I came with great desire  in front of you  ,

And in front of the   true  devotee Thyagaraja.
