Song of the week ending 2, October 2009

Kanivudayon kannan kaniviyen akathaaril
Varummennu karuthi njaan kaathirunnu
Karayuvaan kannuneerillatha kannukal
Kamaneeya vigraham kaathirunnu krishna

I have been waiting thinking that the compassionate Lord (Krishna) would come
The eyes which don't have any tears to shed has been waiting to see your good form

Karunathan kara kaana kadalaanu nee neril ariyuvorkarivinde uravaanu nee
Narajanma sukrithatthin phalamaanu nee
Chudu vyathapoonda hridayathin thanalaanu nee

You are a shoreless ocean of compassion and for those who know you well, you are the embodiment of knowledge
You are the fruit of good-deeds of human birth
You are the only shelter for the heat-bearing heart

Niranthara dhyaanathin layamaanu nee bhakthi paravasha hridayathin amrithaanu nee
Agathikal aviratham avalambam nee
Bhaava layahrithil anubhoothi dhanamaanu nee

You are the state of laya during intense dhyaana, you are the nectar of the heart filled with devotion
You are the support for all those need help
You are the wealth of aparoksha anubhava when a person fully merges unto you

This is a very beautiful song filled with great lyrics and an equivalent tune. The original is sung very well by Swami Pranavamrithananda Puri. The song is set in Saramathi raga. The song sung in my voice can be found here
