Abhimanamennadu - Tyagaraja Kritis (Eng)

Pallavi

abhimānamennaḍu kalgurā anāthuḍaina nādupai nīku abhimānamu ennaḍu kalgurā anāthuḍu-aina nādupai nīku

When will you have affection towards me who is an orphan?

Anupallavi

aparādhamulanni mannimpumayya abhirāma paṭṭābhirāma nāyandu (abhimānamu) aparādhamulu anni mannimpumu ayya abhirāma paṭṭābhirāma nāyandu (abhimānamu)

Please pardon all my mistakes, Lord! O Delighter of Mind, Pattabhirama! Towards me, (when will...?)

Charanam

kanna talliyu kanna taṇḍriyu anniyu nīvēyani namma lēdā ninu vinā gati nākevaru lērē nannu brōvu tyāgarāja vinuta kanna-talliyu kanna-taṇḍriyu anniyu nīvē-ani namma-lēdā ninu vinā gati nāku evaru-lērē nannu brōvu tyāgarāja vinuta

Haven’t I believed that you alone are my mother, father and everything? No one is the refuge besides you; Deign to protect me, One praised by Thyagaraja!
