Neeke dhayaraka ne jeyu panulella,

Neraverunaa Rama

Pallavi

Without mercy coming to you, would  all the jobs .

That are done by me, attain completion.

Anupallavi

Yekopinchaka nenu neevanujnani-

Kelagu sukham ichune oh Raghava

Anupallavi

How can  the wise  people who do not merge with you,

And stand separately as “you” and “Me” , ever get the pleasure

Charanam

1,Manasu nilvanivaru Mayajalamu jesi,

Mari mukthi konanoune  ,

Kanu samjnaku rani kanthanu balimini,

Garamida vasamaune  , Oh Raghava.

Charanam

1.Oh Raghava, Can one who cannot  keep his  mind  stable,

Do magical tricks    and attain salvation?

Would a lady who does not understand,

The sign language  of the eye  ,

Become ours if we catch her   with force?

2.Vadikaleni vidhyalachetha  sabalona,

Vadhinchadonaune,

SAdi  vinnamata madhini nilvaleni ,

SArasuni vidhamoune, Oh Raghava

2.Vadikaleni  vidhyalachetha  sabhalona  ,

Vadhincha Bonoune ,

Sadi  vinna  mata  mathini  nilvaleni  ,

Sarasuni  vithamoune , Oh Raghava

2.Is it possible   to debate  in an arena  ,

With knowledge   that has never been practiced,

AS it would become like the silly fellow,

Who cannot keep in his mind  the news,

That   he had heard   secretly  .

3. Meppulakai bahu dharmamu  jesithe,

Migula  brovadagune ,

Thappu matalu  gathu  tharaka nama  sri,

Thyagarajuni  paini  oh Raghava .

4.Would  God protect you  if you,

Do great charity for earning only great name?

Oh Raghava  who has Tharaka nama,

These are not wrong words told by Thyagaraja.
