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.
