Kalaharana melara

Lyrics

kAla haraNa mElarA harE sItArAma

Why this delay, O Sitarama?

kAla haraNa mEla suguNa jAla karuNAla vAla

O Rama, the embodiment of all virtues and mercy. Why don't you hasten?

1.

cuTTi cuTTi pakSulella ceTTu vedaku rIti bhuvini
puTTa gAne nI padamulu baTTu konna nannu brOva

I surrendered at your feet since my birth,
like a bird reaching its nest on a tree, after flying around.

2.

dina dinamunu tirigi tirigi dikku lEka zaraNu jocci
tanuvu dhanamu nIde yanTi tyAgarAja vinuta rAma

I searched in vain everyday. I have none else to protect me.
My body and wealth are yours. Tyagaraja worships you.
