Ninne Nera Namminaanuraa O Ramaa Raamayya

Charanam:
Veda Shaastra Puraana Vidyalache Bheda Vaadamula Deeraka Bhramayu Vaarala Juchi
Meaning: (From T.K. Govinda Rao’s Book and www.karnatik.com):
Rama! I fully placed my faith (“nammi” - have faith, trust) in you (“ninne”) alone.
I realized that worldly (“anni”) happiness is a mirage (“kallala” – untruth), so I engaged myself in singing (“padi” – sing) your glory and praying (“vedi” - pray ) for your grace while dancing (“adi” - dance) to the rhythmic chanting of your names, ever since my (“nade” – mine) childhood.
Oh, you who recline (“shayana”) on the serpent couch (“pannaga”), observing (“juchi”) men (“vaarala”) who are caught in the web (“bhrama” - error illusion, desire ) of eternal (“deeraka”) arguments and disputes (“bheda vaadamula”) despite their proficiency (“vidyalache”) in the Vedas and Epics (“shastra”, “purana”)). They waste their time in fruitless exercises and waste precious time.
Pallavi:
Ninne Nera Namminaanuraa O Ramaa Raamayya
Rama! I fully placed my faith (“nammi” - have faith, trust) in you (“ninne”) alone.
