Ashta disayil gidu gidendru sedan talai nadunga,

Padavigal tham tham thom endru.
English translation
Pallavi
He danced with joy, in a very stylish manner,
In the Golden stage
Anupallavi
As assured to great sages in the north Kailasa, without fail,
He danced in Chidambaram in the month of Thai,
In the star poosam and in the day time.
Charanam
He danced with head of Adhi sesha rocking,
With the eight directions trembling,
With earth shaking, with drops of Ganges coming out,
With Gopalakrishna singing with love,
With hair shaking, with snake moving its hood,
With sound coming out of that,
And making sounds like,
Tham , tham and Thom thom.
Translations to English of the lyrics of Krithis of Carnatic music , which are tomes of devotion.

This is fantastic. Thank you for the translation. I am a bharatanatyam dancer and learned the dance to this song as a child, but, only now I'm understanding the meaning better. Would it be possible to get word for word translation or do you happen to have a link to such a resource? It would help me embody the dance even better instead of just going through the actions. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteplease could you write this in Sanskrit
