Pallavi

 

Re re manasa  bhaja re Gajananam

 

Anupallavi

 

Charachara viharam sakala Purana saram,

Karunyamrutha pooram , kamakshi modhakaram.

 

Charanam

 

Kanjasana mukha sura muni  vanditha pada charitham,

Kanchipura natha sutham karna chamramtham

Manjula kanaka abharana manchitham atheethantham,

Sinjanmanjirayutham Chengalvarayanatam.

 

English translation

 

Pallavi

 

Hey , Hey mind , sing about Lord Ganesa

 

Anupallavi

 

The God who is in all the worlds,

Who is the essence of all epics ,

Who is fully the nectar of mercy,

And one who gives happiness to Kamakshi.

 

Charanam

 

He whose feet are worshipped by Brahma  and all important sages,

Who is the son of Lord of Kanchipuram , who has fan like ears,

Who decorates himself with pretty golden ornaments, who is beyond everything,

Who is accompanied by tinkling bells and beat of drums,

And is worshipped by Chengalvaraya.
