Nee Sankalpam English Lyrics:
Pallavi:
nee salkalpam betu vantido gana nenenta vadara rama nee
vasi tarigi nee dasa janulu bhuvi kasa padina ya ghana mevvarido nee ॥
Charanam:
brochina mari vida joochina nee krupa gachi yundu gani
tochee tochakanu todari karambula chachi parula ne yachana seyanu nee ॥
patu taramuga nee matu mayalakunu netuvale nortunu
chatula tarambuga jalagu bhavambudhi netu datudu nenevarini doorudu nee ॥
bhavaja ripu nuta parama purusha nee bhavamu teliyaduga
deva deva nee sevaka janulaku sevakudanu nanu gavumu mrokkeda nee ॥
dari jerchedavani dhairyamu che nee dari cheritini gani
arasi brovagade yaradi pettuta yeruga naiti na doravanu konti nee ॥
saranagata rakshana bhava sagara tarana ripu harana karuna joodu bhadradri nivasa ara mara cheyaku hari ninu nammiti nee ॥
Nee Sankalpam Meaning:
Pallavi
Oh Rama, who am I after all to know the nature of your resolve? Your devotees are fascinated with worldly problems When their devotion to you is reducing, whose greatness is it?
Charanams
Whether you protect me or leave me away, I await unswervingly for your grace. I’ll not obediently beg others.
How can I endure steadfastly your incomprehensible and mysterious ways? How can I cross the turbulent ocean of worldly problems?
Oh Supreme Rama, Siva adores you. Your views are incomprehensible. Oh Lord of lords, I am a servant of your servants. Please protect me, I bow to you.
I have come to you with the confidence that you’ll enable me to reach the shore. Why don’t you protect me? I never thought that you would keep me in agony. I believed that you are my lord.
You protect those who seek your help. You enable us to cross the ocean of worldly problems. You are a tormentor of enemies. Please show mercy without hesitation. I’ve implicit faith in you. Oh Hari, you dwell in Bhadradri.
