Why   this character to you, in spite of my love towards you.

Rakendhu mukha , intha  parakemi   nenaruka   nee,

Rake  migula  korithiraa Kesiharana,

Rakemaina  cheppakuraa   kekalu vethuru,

Raa Kesava   Sri Thyagaraja nutha   Shubhacharitha.

Charanam

Oh Lord with full moon like face, why this indifference towards me?

Oh killed of Kesi , My mind only   wants your coming,

Do not tell me some reasons without coming to me ,

If you do it other  devotees   would complain ,

Oh Lord with auspicious   history who is praised  by  Thyagaraja.
