Oh Rama who bewitches  the world,

Oh Lord who  is beyong approach to  ordinary people,

Who is filled with the best characters,

Who sheds merciful look  through his side long glance,

Who is the bee that  hovers roung the lotus   flower like heart of sages

Charanam

1.Valayamugaanutraanu Jaa-,

Gela  suguna  sri Dasaratha , nru-

Pala  hrudayanandakara  sri,

Lola pala  velayu mika,

Phala lochana  hrudha -,

Yaalayabdha janapala  kanakamaya ,

Chela  ika parakela  yipudu mam-,

Mela neethu   manasela rathu.

Charanam

1.What is the delay   in your coming   without any fail?

OH Lord with good conduct the one who gives joy  ,

To the mind of   king Dasaratha  , One who is love with Goddess Lakshmi,

Pkease come before me , Oh Lord who lives in the heart of three  eyed Lord Shiva,

Oh Lord who protects  his dear friends, Oh Lord who  wears the yello silk,

Why this indifference, Why are you not feeling like  protecting us?

2.Neeva  Gathiyandini  gaani,

Nay veremi  yeruganu mundhara,

Raavr  nee Pada Pankaja Bhakthi,

Neeve  , Bhavajaari nutha ,

Deva   needhu padasevarpa lamu mamu  ,

Gavunay pathitha  ,

Pavana  tridasa natha , neeya muni ,

Jeevananisamu  brova vela  Sri Rama.

2,I do not know anything except that you  are  my only  protection,

Please  appear before me   and grant   me devotion to your   feet,

Oh Lord saluted by Lord Shiva who burnt   the God of  love,

Would not the result of my doing   service to your feet only protect me,

Oh Lord who protects the down trodden , who is being depended by Lord Indra,

Oh Lord who is   the help to the  life of sages, would you not protect me always?

3.Daara dhara nibha deha   janaa-

Dhaaraa   durithaga , jaladha sa-

Meeraa Thyagraja hrudayaa,

Gara sara heena   sam-,

Saramandhu  vesaari ninnu mana-

SAAra nammkona  neraleni  ne-

Nuraka yika  vichara mandhutaku ,

Mergaathu  Sri Rama,

3.Oh Lord  who is the   colour of the black cloud,

Who is the support to all people , who is the wind that scatters,

The  collection of sins  which  is like a  cloud. Who lives  in heart of Thyagaraja,

It is not   proper for you to see me get exhausted  by  wandering in Samsara  ,

And becoming unable   to   believe   you completely  and getting worried.
