Let’s learn to sing the Pallavi of the varnam in this lesson. Jayadev explains every line, and you can repeat along with him to get familiar. He repeats a few times so that you can get some practice and internalize it.

The lyrics of the Pallavi are :

Sami Ninne Kori Yunnanu, Chalamuseya Merakadhura

The broad meaning is :

O lord (“saami”)! I am waiting (“koriyunnanu”) for you (“ninne”). Don’t (“mera kadura”) delay (“chalamuseya”) in coming.
