Pallavi

Nadadina mata  neduthappavalatdhu,

Naa thandri Sri Rama.

Pallavi

Oh my father  Sri Rama , you  should not,

Go  against the   words  of  yours

Anupallavi

Yedadhi  naduga   yedabaayanivani  ,

POdimiga gapadu thuvani ninna

Anupallavi

The words that you told a  tender age  that,

You would look after well , those 

Who are  constantly  devoted to you.

Charanam

THalaku vachina  badha thalapagaku  sethu,

Valasi namminavaani vallona  daguludhu,

Ila Bhakthi   sagarameedhajethunani,

Thalaposi  balakithive  Thyagarajarchitha.

Charanam

Did you not tell  after great thought  that  you would make dangers  ,

To the head   go away   only  the turban,

That you would fall in the net of those  ,

Who are truly devoted to you  and that

You would make  Thyagaraja  who worships you ,

In this world swim in the   ocean of devotion.
