Lyrics of "Yochana kamala Lochana" Kirtana

యోచనా కమల లోచనా

సూచనా తెలియక నొరుల (యొరుల)  యాచనా

చేయుననుచు నీకు 

తోచనా తుది విది కాయ తవి లోచన

నన్ను బ్రోవ నీకు 

ఖేచర నిజ భక్త విజయ ( నిచయ) పాప విమోచన గల 

బిరుదులెల్ల కల్గిన 

హేచన కృత విభీషణ వరాభిశేషణ

త్యాగరాజ పూజిత  

yOchanaa kamala lOchanaa

suuchanaa teliyaka norula yaachanaa

chEyunanuchu naaku 

tOchanaa tudi vidi kaaya tavi lOchana

nannu brOva niiku 

khEchara nija bhakta vijaya paapa vimOchana gala

birudulella kalgina 

hEchana kRta vibhIshaNa varaabhiSEshaNa
tyaagaraaja pUjita 

(This is one of my favorite devotional songs. If our great grandfather Annamayya explored the beauties of Tirumala, Tyagayya tried to put words into life's burdens. Out of the depths of pain, suffering, and desperation he shows us how to redeem ourselves with Lord Rama's name on our tongues. With or without the prevailing destruction of Corona, the world is still full of inconveniences. I had to solely rely on Dr. Balamurali's rendition for the exact words. I will try to find if possible other original Telugu textual sources to authenticate each word. Still, we can feel the full meaning of this composition. In a subsequent post we will look into each word, for its meaning and profundity. This song always lifts my mood though it starts out with a sad situation. Copyright 2020)
