manavi varnam meaning

Post by unaradha »

Hi.
I am looking for a word to word translation of the Varnam -Manavi,Composer: Ponnayya Pillai , Ragam :Shankarabharanam, Talam: Adi
Here is the lyrics and general meaning
Pallavi :
a)Manavi chei kona rada chakanì Swami na.
Will you not listen, beautiful Lord of my heart, to my loving prayers ?

b) Mamatà miri yun na nurà.
My love for you never ceases to increase as you can see.

Anu Pallavi :
a) Vinarà Sri Tanja-purinì velayò ma Brigadhisha.
Please listen, you who in the sacred town of Tanjore dwell, my beautiful Lord Brigadeeswarar.


b) Nee nu ne ra namì nanurà nikà muka madi lorù.
Upon you alone, endlessly/from many births, I keep all my thoughts and every single day, believe me, you are in my heart, I promise.

Sahittia :
a) Nee neratanamu nee doratanamu neeke tabuna netsalasaga (Swami).
For your beauty and your regal elegance, you can be compared only to yourself, my Lord.

b) Aporunà madì bramasì virahamanò sagaramulò mukunchì teno chunnati.
And now my mind is wandering in madness, deep into the ocean of desire I sink, pitiful is my condition

Charanam :
Pan ta mela ra natò
In anger now you turn your face away from me. Tell me, why are you doing this to me ?

Sahittia :
Swami ne sati dorà ne ka narà.
My Lord, I've never seen anyone who could be compared to you.

Sahittia :
Pancha sharudu vidu vanchi sharankunagù minchina velalò vanchàna ledikì.
The five flowers of Cupid's bow have pierced my heart and my suffering is deepening, how can this leave you so indifferent ?


Sahittia :
Darà di patì yenì dora doralù pokanera karinjanula tara tarè meriki ira
Kalushi mella tira nabai tripa sudarà marulu michi nara nanu che kòra.

In the entire universe you are the king of all the kings, as the poets sing, with magnanimity you bestow fulfillment, you, remover of all difficulties, please show some compassion to me. See how my love is deep, please now come and take me with you.
