Pallavi

Upacharamu jese  varu unnarani   maravakura

Pallavi

Thinking    that there are others,

To help me   do not forget  me.

Anupallavi

Krupa kavaleni  ne   nee-

Keerthinin  palgusu nundaka

Anupallavi

When  I am singing   your fame  ,

For   the sake of getting your mercy,

Charanam

Vakitane pathilamugaa vadathmajudu  unnadani,

Sri karulagu  nee  thammulu  cheriyunnarini  ,

Yekanthamunanu  Janaki   yerppdi  yunnathani  ,

Sri Kantha  parulelani  Sri Thyagaraja  vinutha.

Charanam

Because the son of wind god   is awake  at the door,

Because your  auspicious   brothers   are together ,

And being definite that  Sita   is alone with you  ,

Do  not forget  this  devotee Thyagaraja   thinking 

“What is the   need    for him?”
