Nagumomu Ganaleni

March 17, 2008 - Posted by vidhya

One nice Thygaraja’s song which I (surprisingly) learnt very easily….
The song is in Abheri raagam and aadhi thalam. Abheri is a janya raagam from karaharpriya (22nd melakartha)
Aa: S G2 M1 P N2 S
Av: S N2 D2 P M1 G2 R2 S
Krnatik.com gives you a list of movie songs that are based on this raagam. The one that pulled my eyes is rAkkammA kayathattu from the movie Dalapathy….if interested you could look at http://www.karnatik.com/ragasa.shtml#aabhEri
Below are the lyrics from Karnatik.com
pallavi
nagumOmu ganalEni nAjAli telisi
nanu brOvaga rAdA shrI raghuvara nI
anupallavi
nagarAjadhara nIdu paraivAra lella
ogibOdhana jEsE vAralu gArE yiTu luNDudure
caraNam
khagarAju nI yAnati vini vEga canalEdO
gaganAni kilaku bahu dUrambaninAdO
jagamEle paramAtma evaritO moraliDudu
vaga jUpaku tALanu nannElukOra tyAgarAjanuta nI

The meaning is as follows

O Rama! Supreme among Raghus ! Missing your charming smile-lit face I languish here. Knowing my mental plight, cant you come and protect me ?
O One who holds Govardhana hill! Members of your retinue who have the duty of reminding you of your daily engagements cannot fail in their duty.
Does not Garuda execute your commands expeditiously ? Could he have excused himself saying that he was staying far from the earth in Vaikunta, your heavenly abode ? Exalted Lord! Ruler of the Universe! Whom else can I appeal to ? Please shun disregard. I cant bear it. Take me into your fold.

This website also gives you the notation for the song…you could go through if interested to learn it perfectly.
again to listen to the song you could search for it in musicindiaonline.com

    Thanks for bringing up this song. The best rendition so far I have heard is that of Dr.Balamurali Krishna’s, in the album named NAgumomu . The meaning of the song is so well embodied in the rendition of the kriti. Thanks for posting
