Rama Neeyeda

By

Saint Thyagaraja

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

Ragam  Karaharapriya

THalam Desadhi

Pallavi

Rama , neeyeda , Prema rahithulaku,

Nama ruche  thelusuna?  Oh Sita

Pallavi

Oh Rama, to those who do not have, love towards you ,

Do they  realize the sweetness of your name?Oh  Sitarama

Anupallavi

Kamini vesa dariki   sadhvi nadatha,

Lemaina  thelusunaa? Aa reethi Sita

Anupallavi

Does the actor who puts on a  lovers role know anything,

About the virtues of a good lady and like that Oh Sita Rama

Charanam

Dhana soughyamu  thaan yerugaka  orulaku

Thagu   bodhane sukhama?

Ganamagu  puli go roopa  maithe  ,

Thyagaraja nutha  sisuvu  palu  kalgunaa?

Charanam

When one does not know  how to have a pleasant life,

Is it proper for him  to teach about it?

If The horrifying tiger acts like a cow ,

Would the prayers of Thyagaraja help the  baby  to get milk?
