Lavanya Rama

By

Saint Thyagaraja

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

Ragam  Poorna Shadjam

Thalam Roopakam

Pallavi

Lavanya Rama  kannu-

Laaraa joodave athi

Pallavi

Oh very pretty Rama, With your full eyes see me

Anupallavi

Sri Vanitha chitha kumudha,

Seethakara sathananyaja

Anupallavi

Oh moon which opens  the lily like heart of Lakshmi

Charanam

Nee manasu  , nee sogasu,

Nee dhinusu vere,

Thamasa  matha daivamela,

Thyagaraja nutha Divya

Charanam

Your mind, your great beauty,

And the diplomacy to suit them,

Are yours only and when you are there ,

What is the need for other Gods with base qualities.
