Don’t you have self respect  , Dot you ,

Have respect that   he is my man

Kanamuraa nee vale nirmohini,

Ganaruchi  theliyu  kusalava Janaka

Anupallavi

Oh Lord Who is the father  of Kusa and love,

Who knew the taste  of musicm, I have never seen,

A person who is as detached   as you.

Nee samuka naravtha nayudu  ninnu,

Basalu  balkaga   rosamutho  sim-

Hasanadhi  pathi   jesina  neeku,

Dasudaina   Thyagarajarchitha.

Charanam

When before  you   the son of Sun God  flattered,

You before you, With  great  enthusiasm ,

Did you not make him climb the   throne,

Don’t  you have any interest in Thyagaraja  ,

Who is worshipping   you like a slave  ?
