Song of the week ending 12, September 2008

Sharanam sharanam bhagavane
Sharanaagata valsalanaam bhagavaane

O Lord you are the refuge, you are the refuge
You are the refuge for those who have no other place to go

Arivilla thavaraane bhagavaane
Aashrayam ekane bhagavaane
Maranam varayum nin thiru naamam
Mananam (smaranam) cheyyenam bhagavaane

O Lord! Not having knowledge is a fault
But do protect me by giving me knowledge O Lord!
Till death to chant your name
Let me remember to do so O Lord!

Kaliyuga varadanaam bhagavaane
Mama jeevanaam praananaam bhagavaane
Kanivodu nin paada padma thinkal
Asharananaye ennennum chertheedane

O Lord! You are the boon-giver of Kaliyuga
You are the vital force of my life O Lord!
By compassion protect me and take me unto your lotus feet as I have surrendered unto you O Lord!

This is a very simple song about a devotee's state of surrender and how a devotee prays unto the Lord to remember him at all times (and thereby remember him at death). The song is set in Sree Ragam. The song has been recorded in my voice which can be found here. Please bear the noise, disturbance and awful chanting as am not a singer.
