abbabba debbalaku - rEvati - Adi

P abbabba debbalaku tALa lEnurA
rAmappA gobbuna nannAdukOrA ||
Oh my Rama, I can not bear these lashes . Oh my father Rama, save me immediately.
A.P. mElusEyagA lEnanTi gadarA mEl
chEsiti inkEmi bhayamanTi gadarA ||
I did everything for the benifit of all. Why should I be afraid of others?.
C 1 parulakokka ruvva eelEdu gadarA
paramAtma nee pAdamulu namminAnurA
koraDAlu teesuka koTTiri gadarA
haranuta gOvinda hari tALalEnurA ||
I did not give even a pie to others. Oh Supreme Lord, I have immense faith in your lotus feet. They lashed me with whip mercilessly. Oh Govinda worshipped by Siva, I can not bear this torture.
C 2 AtmalOpa ninnu nera namminAnurA
SaraNAgata trANa birudEmainadirA
Saradhi bandhinchina SauryamekkaDarA
rAkshasa samhAra rakshimpavErA ||
I heartily kept faith in you. What happened to your title declaring you as savior of desolate? What happened to your heroism of constructing bridge across the sea. Oh Rama, you are destroyer of demons. Why don't you rescue me?
C 3 rAma bhadrAdri SreerAma rAmA nee

Oh Bhadradri Rama, I always chanted your sacred name. Why are you treating Ramadasu like this?.
