Pallavi:
Ni Daya Rada

Anupallavi:
Kadane Varevaru Kalyana Rama

Charanam
[Nannu Brocuvarilanu nade Teliya
Inavamsa tilaka! Nikinta Tamasama

Annitikadhikarivani Ne Bogadite

Ramarama Rama! Tygaraja Hrt Sadana!
Namadi Talladillaga Nyayama ? Vegame

Meaning (Courtesy: Thyagaraja Vaibhavam)

Won’t Your (nI) mercy (daya) descend (rAdA) (literally come) on me?
O Auspicious (kalyANa) Lord rAma! Who is there (vAru evaru) (vArevaru) to object - say (anE) ‘no’
(kAdu) (kAdanE)?
Won’t Your mercy descend on me?
O Lord rAma! O Lord rAma! O Lord rAma! O Resident (sadana) in the heart (hRt) (hRt-sadana) of this
tyAgarAja!
My (nA) mind (madi) is perplexed (tallaDille); is it fair (nyAyamA)? Won’t Your mercy descend on me
quickly (vEgamE)?
