1.Bho chetha, sri ramam bhaja  saranam,
Sritha  chinthamani mathi  karunakaram,
Mura hara muru thara  sara kodandam
Bho  chetha sriramam  bhaja  saranam

Oh  mind, sing  about  Sri Rama   and surrender   to him,
Depend on the gem of his thought and  give the  brain to the merciful one,
The killer  of Mura  does   a great dance with his bow KOdanda,
Oh  mind, sing  about  Sri Rama   and surrender   to him,

2.NIthyam kim dhavasi chala  vishayaan anubhavitham,
Sukha lesaa bhasa anubhavithum,
Nutha thara dukhaan athi  dhusaadha athyanthaayaasaanaam,
Ho mulaan  ugra bhayankara  roura  vadhi,
Narakahenethanapi parihara
Parihara sithapathi maasu  paricharesam
Bho chetha   sri ramam   bhaja   saranam

Why daily wash off   the changing   things   which are  being experienced by us,
Or the absence  of pleasure which   are   experienced by us,
Sorrow of   the great devotees   are  very painful and   greatly tiring   to them
Hey utterly destroying fiercely  fearsome people  who argue for hell
Even for the  reasons to go to hell  there  is an antidote
That  is to serve   the husband of Sita  instead of stopping it,
 Oh  mind, sing  about  Sri Rama   and surrender   to him,

3.Uparyupari  manoradha  jaalam,
Vidvanapi  kamayathe,
Yathatho puthra  mithra kalathraadhishu   nirvedam,
Naithi kama kami vidhyaa sampath kula dhana youvana saubhaga,
Garva parvathathi aaroodo,
Mooda  paschadanthe thamasa
Pathedhava sondumandha yiva,
Bho chetha   sri ramam   bhaja   saranam

More  and  more  tricks    of our  thoughts,
Are  desired  even by  learned men
Though their  sons, friends  and wife  are  not bothered  by  them,
With a moral  that , the  knowledge   that are  desired by us, the wealth of our family , youth and good look,
Make  us puffed   with pride.
Though the  fools repent  with  their  ignorance and  follow   a  very   difficult path,
Oh  mind, sing  about  Sri Rama   and surrender   to him,

4.Bahu vidha papa vasaadhiha, nana  yogishu,
Janmam atheetho  daivad uthama  manusha
Pourusha vipradeha vidhyaa sampannopi
Brahmani parame  vimukhaa dukhee
Dur vishayi vinasyathi  truna kalabha,
Sweekarana kale pasurivaro mandham  kurvan
Bho chetha   sri ramam   bhaja   saranam

Though they undergo   several   sinful   desires, different yogis,
 Win over   their birth  and become   great  people  of god,
Getting  human bodies  of Brahmins, becoming   filled with wisdom,
Some    supreme Brahmins become   disinterested   and filled with sorrow,
And  get  destroyed in bad  matters and  at the time  that they reach death,
They  act  slowly   as if they are  lowly beings
Oh  mind, sing  about  Sri Rama   and surrender   to him,

5.AArisha swargam jahi trushnaamapi,
Maya vilasithamidha  amitha budhwaa,
Durjana sangamamathi dureekuru sajjanamasraya,
Bho chetha   sri ramam   bhaja   saranam

Some fail   to get entry to heaven and becoming thirsty
Due to   the play  of Maya though  blessed with infinite  wisdom,
Due to company  of bad people and  becoming far away   from company of good people,
Oh  mind, sing  about  Sri Rama   and surrender   to him,.

6.Para dhana para  dhara  abhirathim,  thyaja,
Para  loukikam  dharmam   parichinu,
Padmapathi  padha  padmam  sevaya  , bandha  mukthaya,
Bho chetha   sri ramam   bhaja   saranam
Give  up  the money of others   and fascination to ither’s wives,
Get  practice to  other worldly  dharma,
Serve   the feet of husband of lakshmi, get detached,
Oh  mind, sing  about  Sri Rama   and surrender   to him,.

7.karnaa  karnaya vaidehi vara,
Varnaneeya guna varnitha   charitham,
Nayanaalokaya nalina  nayana mukha  sunderendhu,
Bimba masthaka samskrutha mahimananda,
Kasthuri  nikaraakara harim arpaya,
Namastha yugavanipala nakula   rathnam,
Bho chetha   sri ramam   bhaja   saranam

The    story   describing   the   groom of  Sita,
Which has  been passed   from ear to ear,
The  pretty  eyes and face  of   the people seen by us,
The moon like  prettiness   of the lips   head,
And the  joyful   refined  fame which  is,
Nearer   to  Musk  is being  offered  to Hari,
Salutations  to the gem like son  who takes  care  of the eons,
 Oh  mind, sing  about  Sri Rama   and surrender   to him.

8.paraapavaadham  parihara  jihwe,
Paarushyam  cha anruthamapi maa  patha,
Sangeerthaya Narayana , Govinda  , Krishna,
Nruhare Vasudeva,Vaikuntadhipa,
Lakshmi  vallabha , dasradha nandanethi sathatham,
Bho chetha   sri ramam   bhaja   saranam

Oh Tounge , avoid   telling  bad about  others,
Avoid   insults   and   lies  and do not go away  from Dharma,
Sing  Narayana,  Govinda , Krishna,
Narasimha  , Vasudeva, The lord of Vaikunta,
The Lord of Lakshmi and son  of Dasaratha  always,
Oh  mind, sing  about  Sri Rama   and surrender   to him.

9.Nithyanandam, sathyamanandam,
Brahma para padha mavyaya mamalam,
Shudham, budham  , santham  , saswatha,
Maprameya madhyam  sarvaasaamupanishadhamartham,
Sri rama sitapathirithi hara,
Chathurrananadhibhir geeyathe   thasya  dasoham,
Bho chetha   sri ramam   bhaja   saranam

Joy  for ever, limitless  truth .
Beyond position of Brahma, who does not change, who is stainless ,
Pure  , intelligent  , peaceful , for ever,
Unlimited, first  , the meaning  of  all  Upanishads,
Is Rama   who is  the Lord of Sita, Lord Vishnu,
And to  him Brahma  and others  say  , we are  your slaves,
Oh  mind, sing  about  Sri Rama   and surrender   to him.

  1. Dear Sir, I have been searching for this song/bhajan from my childhood. My mother used to sing, she still sings, but only one or two stanzas and doesn't have full version lyrics.
    Can you kindly fetch - if possible, an audio version of this song/bhajan? Or at least Devanagari/Hindi script of the lyrics?

    Many thanks in advance.
    You may kindly contact me on sarmakv@gmail.com
