Ososi

Genre: Padam | Raga: Mukhari | Tala: Chapu | Composer: Kshetrayya

Quite unlike the usual protagonist of a padam/javali, here the poet assumes himself the hero rather than the heroine. Distraught by his lover's indifference, he is at the brink of hopelessness

Pallavi:

kAshiki poyyEnE nIvala nE kASiki poyyEnE

It is because of you that I had to go to Kashi

Anupallavi

OsOsi nAmadinunnayaTTi nIdu ASalella nirAsha jEsukoni tO

Oh dear! All your hopes on me are forlorn!

Charanam

delusune suddulincukayunna sudatirO talacaka addu cEsi nAtO palukavu

Oh sweetheart! The lord knows about the kiss we shared together. Delicate lady, why then are you refusing to talk with me?

2. E tIrunainanu prIti sEyuDuvani pAtaki nE tsAla bhramasi tirugucuNTi

rAti manasugala nAti nI vanucunu nE teliyaka mOsa bOyi vEsAriti 
I roamed around praying to the Lord, for you to love me as before! Little did I know that your heart is one of stone. My hopes are shattered!

3. cakkagAnu nAtO santOSamuga nIvu oka mATADitE takkuvaDE nIku

Under the illusion that you will merrily speak with me at least once, I left  my wife and now am roaming around without any direction!
