Rama Rama Rama Neeli Megha Syama...

 


Dhom dhom tana.. dhomtana dhomtana.. dheem dheem.. aa
Dhom dhom tana.. dhomtana dhomtana.. dheem dheem.. aa

Rama rama rama.. neeli megha syama..
Rama, O dark Blue coloured divine being,
Sa.. sa ni pa ni sa
Rama rama rama.. neeli megha syama..
Rama, O dark Blue coloured divine being,
Rava raghukula soma.. bhadrachala srirama
Please come, O best of Raghukula, O Rama of Bhadrachala,
Maa manasu viraboose.. prati sumagaanam neekele
Our mind blossomed and the fragrant song is dedicated to you,
Karununchi kuripinche.. nee prati deevena maakele
On feeling compassion, all your blessings are for us
Niratam poojinche.. maaku.. daagudu mootalu neekelaa
Why do you play hide and seek with your eternal worshippers
Reppalu mooyaka kolichaamu.. kannula edutaku raavelaa
We seek without blinking, when will we be able to see a glimpse of you
Rama.. rama

Rama rama rama.. neeli megha syama..
Rama, O dark Blue coloured divine being,
Rava raghukula soma.. bhadrachala srirama
Please come, O best of Raghukula, O Rama of Bhadrachala,

Though it seems ridiculous that the verse tries to wake up the One who wills any happening any time, the subtle meaning is only to awaken the inner self within humans, which is a part of the Super soul.
