Meaning (from TK Govinda Rao’s book)

O SITARAMA! My mind ("tanaku") is always obsessed ("prema podu") with you!

O Lotus-petal ("thaamarasa-dala") eyed ("nayanaa")!

What ("emo") spell ("maaya") have you ("nee") cast on me, that O SITARAMA, my mind is always....

Even when I enjoy ("anubhavamulandu") worldly pleasures ("bhogalanu"),

my mind ("buddhi") is merged in you ("baguga neeyandu").

No wonder, this THYAGARAJA's heart ("hrudaya") is brimming over with your Transcendental ("vageesha") Bliss ("anandamandu").

Pallavi:

Raamaa ! Nipai Tanaku Prema Podu Seethaa

O SITARAMA! My mind ("tanaku") is always obsessed ("prema podu") with you!
