Lyrics for Bhaja Govindam (Ragamalika)

Post by pchittur »

I was recently taught a small song (ragamalika) in tamil that starts with the first paragraph of Bhaja Govindam and then goes on to a few paragraphs in tamil.

But given that it was learned over the phone and my tamil isn't too great... It would be great if someone had the lyrics for this song. I looked it up on the internet but wasn't able to find anything. The ragams are Gunavati, Sunadavinodini, and - I'm not sure about this last one - Narthaki. (The last ragam is a Harikamboji janyam without the R or M in the arohanam, but with the R in the avarohanam -- is that Narthaki?).

Tamil or english script - either one - would be okay for the lyrics.

Thank you!

Check whether this is the one you are referring to:-

The first part is with Sanskrit slokas and the second part is of Tamil songs.
Lyrics for the Tamil part is here (in Tamil font):-

The song I was taught had only until "govindam bhaja mudhamathe", and then the rest was tamil.

The first link is the full bhaja govindam slokam, and the second link is unfortunately not what I was looking for. I appreciate the help, though. Thanks a lot.

The second paragraph goes something like this --
Bhagavan kannan padam mel sondam
Arivay unthan paDam ade

I don't know if these lyrics/word breaks are correct, though.
