Sri Rama nee naamamentha ruchi raa Lyrics pl

Post by Sundar Krishnan »

This is a popular song, but getting the lyrics was a rather difficult task.

After long search, I got the Lyrics of this song :
Sri Rama nee naamamentha ruchi raa
by BR
at :
http://www.gruhinii.com/bhajans-and-kee ... namamentho

The Pallavi matches with Dr BMK's mp3 file that I have, but the Charanams given in this site seem to be all different from what I could listen to (I don't understand Telugu).

I would like to have the full Lyrics, Ragam / alternate Ragams, and Taalam(s) of this song pl.

Thanks in advance.

Shri Lakshman, Thanks for the link (http://www.rasikas.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9616), and the Lyrics there.

Along with yr lyrics by the side, I heard Dr BMK’s mp3 song a no of times again.

Here, below, I give the text – as I could hear BMK singing (he has a clear voice).
[The Pallavi line as given by ravip in #4 of the above link, is also exactly followed by BMK.]
I have highlighted the differences in his singing wrt yr Lyrics.

P : Sri rama nee namamemi ruchi ra! O rama nee nAmam enta ruchi ra!

C8: karirAja prahlAda dharaNIja vibhIShanulu gAchina nI nAmam enta ruchi ra!
C9: kadaLI kharjUra(di) phala mula-kadhikamu patita pAvana nAmamEmi ruchi ra! ; patita pAvana nAmam enta ruchi ra! ; P

C4: anjanA tanaya hrtkanja dalamunandu ranjillu nI nAmamEmi ruchi ra!
C5: sadAshivuDu ninnu sadA bhajinchEDi sadAnanda nAmam enta ruchi ra! ; sadAnanda nAmam enta ruchi ra! ; P
[See my observation below.]

C10: tumburu nAradulu Dambu mIraga gAnambu jEsEDi nAmamEmi ruchi ra!
C12: anaya bhadrAcaladAma shrI rAmadAsuni nElina nI nAmamEmi ruchi ra! ; nElina nI nAmam enta ruchi ra! ; P ; P

He doesn’t sing these lines, so no highlightings from me :
A: enta rucirA rAma Emi rucirA rAma O rAmA nI nAmam enta ruchi ra!
C1: madhu rasamulakaNTE dadhi ghrtamulakanTE atirasamagu nAmamEmi ruchi ra!
C2: navarasa paramAnna navanItamulakaNTE nadhikamau nI nAmamEmi ruchi ra!
C3: drAkSA phalamu kanna nikSurasamu kanna pakSivAha nI nAma ruchi ra!
C6: sAramu lEni samsAramunaku santArakamagu nAmamEmi ruchi ra!
C7: sharaNanna janamula saraguna rakSincu birudu galgina nAmamEmi ruchi ra!
C11: panasa jambU drAkSA phalarasa sukhakaNTE nadhikamau nI nAma ruchi ra!

A small observation :
Going by his logic of singing the 2nd part of the 2nd line in each pair {ie, C8-C9, C4-C5, C10-C12} first with nAmamEmi ruchi ra! , and next with nAmam enta ruchi ra! , (ie, similar to the Pallavi pattern), I think, he should have sung the 2nd part of C5, the first time with nAmamEmi ruchi ra! , instead of nAmam enta ruchi ra!. Perhaps, he would have intended so, but this might be a slip. However, in most of his songs, I have found him to be pattern-exact, and tune-rhyme-exact, no matter how many times he repeats a certain phrase of a song, similar to Mukesh and Mohd Rafi.

The above is just a curiosity-observation ; let us not argue any further on the above Pattern observation.

***********

However, Ch1 to Ch7 lines given in :
http://www.gruhinii.com/bhajans-and-kee ... namamentho
does not have any match ! with BMK’s mp3 file, nor with yr Lyrics ?
Any explanations / comments on these Ch 1 to Ch 7 lines in this link ?
Thanks in advance.

The song at the site starts with different words. It may thus be a totally different song.

Shri Lakshman,

The site does start with this song's Pallavi - as we also have it :

Gowlipanthu Raagam, Aadi thalam

Pallavi :
Sri Rama nee naamamentha ruchi raa
O rama nee nama memi ruchi raa

Kariraja prahlada dharani vibhishanula
Gaachina nee naamamemi ruchi raa

Just that "naamamentha ruchi raa" and "nama memi ruchi raa" are juxtaposed wrt BMK's rendition.
The 3rd and 4th lines above form the C8 of yr Lyrics.

But, what follows later, in Ch 1 to Ch 7 does not match with with BMK’s mp3 file, nor with yr Lyrics ?
