ANNAMAYYA KIRTHANA – అన్నమయ్య కీర్తన
GAALINE POYA – గాలినే పోయ
[In this kirtana, Annamayya is expressing his desperation for liberation.]
పల్లవి
గాలినే పోయ గలకాలము
తాలిమికి గొంతయు బొద్దులేదు
gAlinE pOya galakAlamu
tAlimiki goMtayu boddulEdu
I
have become aimless All the Time!
[Gaali means air or wind and also spirit or
ghost. We can guess two meanings here:
1. ‘I have become air’ that means I have become
aimless like wind
2. ‘I have become a
ghost’ that means I have become ignorant without discrimination
I preferred to use aimless here for my
understanding]
There
is not even a little time for Patience!
[I can not wait to wake up now]
చరణం 1
అడుసు చొరనే పట్టె నటునిటు గాళ్ళు
గుడుగుకొననే పట్టె గలకాలము
ఒడలికి జీవుని కొడయడైనహరి
దడవగా గొంతయు బొద్దులేదు
aDusu coranE paTTe naTuniTu gALLu
guDugukonanE paTTe galakAlamu
oDaliki jIvuni koDayaDainahari
daDavagA goMtayu boddulEdu
(All
the time) Was spent to allow mire into the feet on both sides!
[The mire here may be sins accumulated by
aimless and desirous wandering]
All
the Time was spent just to wash it off!
Hari
is the possessor of the body and the soul!
There
is not even a little time to Delay!
[thadavu
= delay; thadavagaa = to delay
It is time to realize Him now without any
bit of further delay]
చరణం 2
కలచి చిందనే పట్టె గడవగ నించగ బట్టె
కలుషదేహపుబాధ గలకాలము
తలపోసి తనపాలి దైవమైన హరి
దలచగా గొంతయు బొద్దులేదు
kalaci ciMdanE paTTe gaDavaga niMcaga
baTTe
kaluShadEhapubAdha galakAlamu
talapOsi tanapAli daivamaina hari
dalacagA goMtayu boddulEdu
(All
the time) Was spent to worry and spill! It was spent to fritter and fill!
[All the time was spent to fret and cry and to spend foolishly and fill up
again]
All
the Time was spent only the suffering of this tainted body!
To
contemplate on Hari the God to his own effect!
There
was not even a little time to Ponder!
చరణం 3
శిరము ముడువబట్టె
చిక్కుదియ్యగ బట్టె
గరిమల గపటాల గలకాలము
తిరువేంకటగిరి
దేవుడైనహరి
దరిచేరా గొంతయు
బొద్దులేదు
Siramu muDuvabaTTe cikkudiyyaga baTTe
garimala gapaTAla galakAlamu
tiruvEMkaTagiri dEvuDainahari
daricErA goMtayu boddulEdu
(All
the time) Was spent to do the hair! And was spent to untangle!
All
the Time was spent in honour and deceit (being lofty and crafty)!
Hari
the God on the revered Mount Venkata!
There
is not even a little time to Approch (Him)!
[I
can not wait to reach Hari]
