Pallavi

Galigiyunte gadhaa kalgunu,

Kamitha phala dhayaga

Pallavi

Unless  my fate   had been  good,

I would not get what  I want

Anupallavi

Kalini ingitha  merugaka ninnadu konti,

Chalamu  cheyaka   naa thalanu   chakkani vraatha

Anupallavi

In this kali age  without  understanding the truth ,

I chided you, please   do not   get angry   with me.

Charanam

Bhagavathagre sarulagu Narada ,

Prahladha  parachara Ramadasulu  ,

Baguga   Sri  Raghu ramuni  padamula,

Bhakthi   jesina reethi  Thyagarajuni  kipudu

Charanam

The great way in which   great devotees  like,

Narada , Prahladha  , Parachara  and Ramadas,

Showed their devotion  to  the feet of Raghurama,

Would be available to this Thyagaraja only if he has fate .
