Appa Ramabhakthi  yentho Goppa ra ma

Pallavi

Oh Lord the devotion to Rama    is very great

Anupallavi

Trippatalanu   nilpi  kanti,

Reppavalenu gakanama

Anupallavi

It would stop  the wanderings of the mind,

And would protect like the eyelids

Charanam

1.Lakshmi devi  valachunaa,

Lakshmanundu   goluchunaa,

Sookshma budhi gala bharathudu,

Choosi Choosi   solasunaa maa

Charanam

1.Would Goddess   Lakshmi do penance?

Would Lord Lakshmana do service?

Would the very intelligent  Bharatha,

Look and stare and  get enchanted?

2.Sabari yengilichunaa,

Chandra dharudu  mechunaa,

Abala   swayama prabhaku Daiva,

Machala  padavi  nichunaamaa

2,Would Sabari give her tasted  food?

Would Lord Shiva wearing the moon appreciate?

Would god  give a stable position,

To the lady Swayamprabha  who has no support?

3.Kapi varidhi dhatunaa,

Kaliki  roda  gattuna

Aparadhi THyagaraju  ,

Kanandhamu  chatunaa maa

3,Can the nonkey  cross the ocean?

Can Yasodha tie  Lord Krishna on the mortar?

To the   guilty Thyagaraja,

Joy was received   by devotion to Rama.
