Place to go if you want to ask someone identify raga, tala, composer etc or ask for sāhitya (lyrics) or notations or translations.

Madurai Somu sings this brndAvanasArangA song. The link is:

I tried to figure out the words and I find it hard to understand Somu's diction.
Would someone be able to try and decipher the text?
Thanks.

Lji,
Here is my attempt:
You are right: the accent/diction makes it very tough to decipher the words...I think it is in a combination of kannaDA and telugu. DRS, Sarma, and Arasi can definitely refine this for you - the words I can't be certain are bolded.

vallabha mahA gaNapatE
pAd namastE namastE dEvA dEvA*

chintakE bandida SObhita rUpA
santatagaLa maha mAm pAhi

pAlisa bEku (idi)** manchi samayamu
pApamu tIrchi nannu brOvarA
dinamu I tAmasamA dEvA?
OmkAra priya SrI gaNESA

* : during the nereval at the end, I think he changes dEvA dEvA to jaya jaya on some occasions.
**: only enunciates this when he sings the first sangati for this like...
HOPE this helps.
