Thala Aadhi

Pallavi

Natasi natasi jooche rayodhya
Nagaramu kanere

Anupallavi

Pudami sutha sahayudai chelanke
Poornuni aathma ramuni koodiyada

Charanam

Atte kanula koorchi therasi suthramu
Patti veliki vesha dharulai
Puttu chavu leni thavu theliyasu
Pogaderu Thyaga Rajanu thuni

English Translation

Pallavi

Walking and further walking and seeing,
You would not see the town of Ayodhya

Anupallavi

If you want to meet and enjoy the company of Rama
Along with the daughter of the earth,
Who is the complete Rama , who is our soul,

Charanam

Opening and closing our eyes,
Keeping and counting on the chain of beads,
Those who are only putting an act,
And those who do not know the way to salvation,
Beyond the fact of birth and death,
Would not see this Rama known by Thyagaraja
