Do you not have any liking to me,

Possibly you would be only talking words for acting.

Charanam

1.Maliminchukaina   ledhaa , thannu,

Malina  dharmamu  galadha  vana-,

Mali naa pai   Dhaya raadhaa  , palu-

Malina   gunamikanaina   bodhaa.

Charanam

1.Dont you have even very little patience?

Do you do charity that you cannot afford?,

Oh Lord who wears  forest garland  ,

Do you not  get mercy towards me?

Would your laziness  get destroyed at least now?
2.Kalimiyunte  bettukora  krupa,

Kalugu  nanusu   vedi naaraa naa,

Kaluvaramulu   vini raras po-,

Kalu   neeku   galadhani   ne norungaleraa.

2.If you hve wealth , keep it with you, I only ,

Requested you   for  your  grace, Please

Come  after  hearing my confusion  ,

Would I know about your various  behaviours?

3.Raju neevani  namminaanu  , Gaja-,

Rajunna  vidhamu  vinnanu  , rathi,

Raja dasula  vedalenu  ,THyaga-,

Raju   nee vadani   perukonnanu.

3.I believed you are my king,  and I have,

Heard   the story of the  king of elephants ,

I would not beg from those who are   slaves of passion,

And Thyagaraja has earned a name that  he is your man.
