Alaka lallaladaga  gani

By

Saint Thyagaraja

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

Ragam  Madhyamavathi

Thalam Roopakam

Pallavi

Alaka lallaladaga  gani,

Aaranmuni etu pongeno

Pallavi

When the curls  of hair locks waved,

How glad    that sage became

Anupallavi

Cheluvu  meeraganu  Maaree,

Chanee mada manache  Vela

Anupallavi

When  with a lustrous  form , you,

Were  destroying   the pride  of Mareecha

Charanam

Muni kanu  saiga dhelisi  Sivs ,

Dhanuvunu  viriche samaya  ,

Muna  Thyagaraja vinu

Thuni  momuna  Ranjillu

Chranam

Understanding the sign shown by  the sage,

When you were breaking Shiva’s bow,

In the face of Rama who was being saluted by Thyagaraja
