Chinna nade naa cheyi battithive

Pallavi

At  my young age , did you not catch my hand

Anupallavi

Yennarini  yoodigamu gaikoni,

Yentho nannu   palanu  chethu nani

Anupallavi

After  accepting many   services from me ,

And promising me  that you would ,

Protect    me  for ever

Charanam

Ittivela  vidanadu  dhamani.

Yelukondhumani  yenchinavo  theliyadhe,

Guttu brovave  suguna varri nidhi,

Goppa deivama  Thyagaraju nutha

Charanam

Are you thinking  whether   at this time  ,

You can leave my hand   or hold  on  to it,

I do not know about it , Oh ocean of good character,

Oh great God   who is  prayed   to by  Thyagaraja
