delpave-lyrics-and.html)
vAnca - desire / craving
vAncatOnu - with desire
nA - my
vagalu - sorrows / grievances
telpave (after sandhi, it becomes delpavE) - convey
amba - Mother!

Mother! Please ask your consort a boon. Plead to him to get rid of my grievances.

vAncita - desired
phaladAyaki - giver of boons
sri Valli - one of the consorts of subrahmaNya swamy
guhuni - subrahmaNya swamy
manasu - heart
karugaga - to melt

Sri Valli! The giver of boons. Melt murugan's heart with your plea.

mAnini - Oh respected woman!
nI - your
pAludu - caretaker
nA - my
mAnamu - honor
kApAdi - save
abhimAnam - affection
unchavalenu - should exhibit
talli - mother
marakata valli - srI valli (one of the consorts of subrahmaNya swamy)
kali mAnavulanu - humans in the kali yuga
brOva - to show mercy
nI - your
samAnam - equal
evaru - who

mArayuta - (unclear about the meaning, but I feel it should be something similar to "bad and good
people")
samAnarUpa - equally
harikEsa kumAra - harikEsa as son
vanajanEtri - (again, not very sure, but should mean "srI valli")

Respected Woman! Your caretaker should protect my honor and exhibit affection towards me. Who is
better than you in protecting humans in the kali yuga? You're one who blesses equally the good and the
bad.
