Bantureethi goluviyyavayya Rama

Pallavi

Oh Rama, give me the opportunity to serve as your royal guard

Anupallavi

Thuntavintiani modalaina madhaa,

Dhula batti  nelagoola  jeyu nija

Anupallavi

The post which would  catch hold of  the sports of god of love,

Like passion  and completely destroy them .

Charanam

Romanchamane ganakanchukamu,

Rama  bhakthudane mudrabillayu,

Rama namamane varakadgamii,

Rajillunayya  Thyagarajunike.

Charanam

With the armour of erect standing hair due to devotion to you.

With the great stamped bow  which is  devotion to Rama,

And with the blessed   sword called   the name of Rama,

So that they all shine   in  Thyagaraja .
