Lyrics
Pallavi
mīnalōcanā brōva yōcanā dīnajanāvanā amba
Anupallavi
gāna vinōdinī nī samānamu jagāna gānanammā dēvī
Charanam 1
kannatalli gādā nā vinnapamu vinavammā pannaga bhūṣaṇuniki
rāṇī ninnuvinā ilalō dāta vērevarunnārammā baṅgāru bommā
Charanam 2
indumukhī nīvu varamulosagi nā mundu vacci dayasēyavammā
kunda mukundaradanā himagiri kumārī kaumārī paramēśvarī
Charanam 3
sāmaja gamanā nīvu tāmasamu sēyaka śyāmakṛṣṇa sōdarī
rāvē kāmapālini bhavānī candrakaḷādhāriṇī nīradavēṇī
Meaning
Addressing the fish-eyed goddess, the singer asks why she hesitates to protect someone in need. Her delight in music and her unrivalled greatness are joined to a child's expectation of being heard by its mother. The verses ask her to appear, show kindness and grant help, while praising her beauty and her relationship with Shiva. The final appeal repeats the request not to delay. The song's many descriptions never displace its central concern: the devotee wants a compassionate response now.
