Paluke bangaramayena-Ramadasu Keertana
Paluke bangaramayena lyrics in English: It is a well-known Sri Raamadaasu keertana, in this song the poet is asking Lord Sri Raama to answer his prayers, come and appear in front of him.
His devotional keertana lyrics to Lord Raama illustrate the classical Pallavi, Anupallavi, and CharaNam genres composed mostly in Telugu, some in Sanskrit, and with the occasional use of Tamil language.
These keertanas are famous in South Indian classical music as Sri Raamadaasu Keertanalu.
One of the trinity of Carnatic Classical Music Sri Tyaagaraaja Swami dedicated five of his own compositions in praise of Sri Raamadaasu, with one equating him to figures such as the Narada Muni and Bhakta Prahlaada, legendary and much loved personalities in Hinduism.
Paluke bangaramayena – Lyrics meaning:
Pallavi: O Sri Rama! Holding the divine Kodanda in your hand, your words are as precious as gold.
CharaNam 1: Your words are so valuable, no matter how much I call you, you are not answering. O beautiful Rama, I do not forget to chant your name even in my dream!
CharaNam 2: The devotion showed by the squirrel tumbling in the sand to help you while building Ramasetu and you kindly took it closer, O Rama I believe one day you will also bless me the same way.
CharaNam 3: O Sri Rama! You have a great reputation in this world for giving Ahilya her true form with your touch, who was turned into a stone with a curse, hey Rama! I wholeheartedly believe in you like that.
CharaNam 4: No matter how much I am pleading with you, you do not have the slightest mercy on me. O Sri Rama! I am not worth showing stubbornness in front of you.
CharaNam 5: Hey Ramachandra, you have gained the appellation that you give shelter to whoever comes your doorstep. The same way have mercy on me and give shelter to this Bhadrachala Ramadasu as well.
