Pallavi

Thana meedhane cheppu kovale,
Kaganu ninnada pani lethura,

Anupallavi

Chanuvuna kontha palikethavu,
Eesuna kontha palikedhavu neramella

Charanam

Oka vela ninnu prema meera mathini,
Unchi manchi poola poojimbuchunu,
Oka vela kopikinchi ninnu thoorusu,
Undi kaani Rama Thyagaraja nutha.

English Translation

Pallavi

One can blame himself,
But not find fault with you.

Anupallavi

You told some things with love,
And some with hatred,
But all faults are only mine.

Charanam

Sometimes with love I used,
To make you sit in my heart and worshipped you,
And some other times with anger, I berated you,
But you have been always praised by Thyagaraja.
