Pallavi

Endhuku peddalavale buddheeyavu,

Endhu  podhunayya   Ramayya

Pallavi

Oh Lord Rama , why did  you not  give me ,

A brain like that  of great people ?

Anupallavi

Andharivale  dhati dhati vadarithi,

Andharaani  pandaaye  gadharaa

Anupallavi

Like  all others  jumping  and jumping,

I talked nonsense. Your grace has,

Become an unreachable  fruit   to me  .

Charanam

Veda Sasthra thathwartha munu  delisi,

Bedha rahitha  vedanthamulu  thelisi,

Nadha vidhyamarmambhoolanu   delisi,

Nadha  , Thyagarajanutha  nijamuga.

Charanam

Though I knew   the inner meaning of Vedas and Sasthras,

Though I knew  Vedanthas which are  not  different,

Though I knew  the secrets  of   how to worship music,

Why did you not  give bran like greats like Thyagaraja.
