English translation

 

Pallavi

 

Won’t your mercy come?

 

Anupallavi

 

Who is there who says “no” to it?

 

Charanam

 

1.Why this sort of delay by you,

Oh  great one of the dynasty of the Sun,

When the whole world  knows,

That there is no one else to protect me?

 

2.When you are famous  as the one who is above all,

I agree that this is something small for your fame.

 

3.Oh Rama, Oh Rama, Oh Rama , who sits in the heart of Thyagaraja,

The peace of mind is broken, Is it just, come quickly.
