Edula brothuvo  theliya nekantha Ramayya

Pallavi

I do not know  how you are  going to protect me,

Rama   who  is visible  only to those who have   one to one devotion to you

Anupallavi

Kata kata naa charithamu , Karna  kadoramayya

Anupallavi

My story  which sounds  harsh  hurts the ears , oh god.

Charanam

Patti gottu  reethi  bakshinchi  thrigithi,

Puttu lobhulanu  pottakai  pogadithi,

Dushtulatho  goodi dush kruthyamulu   salapi,

Rattu jesina  Thyagarajuni   dhaya tho.

Charanam

Just like  the working bullock  I ate and wandered,

For the   sake of the stomach I praised great misers,

Joining with evil people   doing evil deeds  I earned a bad name,

I do not know how you are  going to protect this Thyagaraja
