OH Rama Bhadra, Oh ocean of mercy,

Please   protect me  .

Oh Lord who  pacifies   the pain in the heart,

Of those who surrender to you, Who has completely left  off sleeping

Charanam

Naa papamu naatho  nunde,

Sripa nee birudhukemi brathuku,

Yepapapula sapamo,

Yendhukeechalamu  , Thyagaraja  nutha.

Charanam

If the sin that I do is with me only,

How can your title keep on living,

Which sinner   has left this curse  with me,

Why this great anger in you, Oh Lord  worshiped by Thyagaraja.
