Nice blue-green leaf. Let me know if you don't like the name I've used here
This is the only single leaf rangoli in ikolam, and it is so special to me!
O child lying on the milky white foams
O child lying on the leafy bed
O the dweller in the rich lady's heart
O child let me sing you a lullaby to sleep ... hush
May be the lonely leaf is looking for the dark Lord!
As Smti Lakshmi Devi mentioned it is in SaMkarAbharaNa, set to aaTa tALa.
The song's pallavi is jO jO SrIkRshNa paramAnaMda ...
In fact I like one stanza in particular in this song. that is -
guNanidhiye ninnannu ettikoMDiddare
maneya kelasa yAru mADuvarayya
manake sukha nidre taMdukO bEga
phaNiSayanane ninna pADi tUguvenu .. jO jO ..
Darling, if you're always in my hands,
who will carry out the household chores?
Calm yourself, my dear, and close your eyes,
I'll sing songs and lull you to sleep! ... hush ...

O child lying on the milky white foams
O child lying on the leafy bed
O the dweller in the rich lady's heart

Lonliness is always a curse mOhana.
Especially during old age.
The lonly leaf is preying Krishna to come in and didtroy the loniless.

Hi Mr. Rao,
I found your comment very interesting. It's such a nice lullaby! What raga is this Purandara Dasa krithi composed in?
