Pallavi

OH Rama who goes on Garuda , can you not honour me

Anupallavi

Sri rema Manohara   sritha hrudhaya vihara,

Cherra ravadhera   Sri Raghu  vara Dheera

Anupallavi

Oh stealer of mind of Lakshmi, who lives in mind of those who surrender to him,

Oh courageous one of Raghu clan, can you  not come near me.

Charanam

1.Perukaina  ledhaa  pilisithe  ra ratha sari-,

Vaaralada  letha  vinivarada  karuna ratha,

Maaru  balka vadha  mummaru  namma letha

Charanam

1.Can you   not come when I call at least for your fame,

Did not people like you tell you about it?

Did not compassion come to you? Can you not reply?

Am I not one who always   believed  in you?

2.Thanyudadu mata thalli   thandrula   kadhi yadagadha

Ninu badina patavini  nee muddhu nota ye-,

Mana  vala  dhichoda madhava  inka   therasada.

2. Does not talk of the son give pleasure to mother  and father?

And you should not   after   hearing my song,

By opening  your pretty mouth  please do not  tell  anything,

Oh Madhava , why this hiding behind the scenes?

3.Rookalosagi  konna   sathi roopa  metlunna,

Sri kara  guna munna   cheli   chelimi veedaranna  pa-,

Raku neeku  minnaTHyagaraja   vinutha binna.

3.Oh god who grants auspiciousness  , If one marries a lady   after,

Paying the bride price, suppose she is a lady of good character,

Whatever may be her looks, would he neglect her?

Would  your neglecting Thyagaraja   give you greatness
