Endhuko nee manasu karagathu yemi neramo theliya

 

Anupallavi

 

Yendu joochina kaani dasaratha,

Nandanuka bhavinchina naa pai

 

Charanam

 

1.Sumugunain ee logulu nannu asooyalache joochedharu,

Vimukhlai endhadivadu aani bahu vidhamudooratheru.

Samugamunakku yogyudu kaadhani mari jooda kananchetharu,

Gamagamunanu rakshinjedi vaaralu karana nine koriya naapai.

 

2.Dhana thanaya kalathradhula joochi thamadu aani premasedharu,

Venuka mundhu theliyani aadhani kula vembadi thirigedharu,

Ina kula jana nidhi soma rama nannu ittula seyagu ani veyyaru,

Manvulu adugu naa paini karunatho manninchi kaappadanu Rama

 

3.Raga rahitha sri Rama intha paarakku cheyyaga,

SAranaagatha vathsala nammidhi tharaka nama parathpara,

Thyagaraja hrudaya sadanudu ani athyanthamu vedithiraa,

Neeva gathi anuchu reyu pagalu veyyi vela moralu pettina naa pai,

 

English Translation

 

Pallavi

 

Why does not your mind melt,

I do not understand?

 

Anupallavi

 

On me who imagined that I see every where,

As The son of Dasaratha,

Why does not your mind melt?

 

Charanam

 

1.Though good people in this world saw with jealousy

Considered me as undesirable  and abused me in several ways,

Told that I am not suitable to the community and did not want to see me again,

I considered them as people who would not protect me always ,

And desired for you always  and still why does not your mind melt?

 

2.Though people claimed that wealth son and wife as theirs and got confused,

And followed very rich people whom they did not know at all,

Oh moon like Rama belonging to the clan of sun,

Please pardon and protect me who am entreating you ,

Not to do like that towards me and still your mind does not melt?

 

3.Oh Rama without attachments do not ignore me like this,

 Oh god who looks after those surrendering to you ,

Oh God who is most divine, I have faith in your Tharaka name,

I have been requesting you as one who lives in Thyagaraja’s heart,

And day and night I have entreated you as my only haven.

Still your mind does not melt?
