Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
नेणें गाणें कंठ नाहीं हा सुस्वर । घालूं तुज भार पांडुरंगा ॥१॥
नेणें राग वेळ काळ घात मात । तुझे पायीं चित्त ठेवीं देवा ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे मज चाड नाहीं जना । तुज नारायणा वांचूनिया ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I do not know how to sing, and my voice is not sweet. I place the whole burden upon You, O Panduranga. I do not know ragas or proper timing or the arts of melody. I simply place my heart at Your feet, O God. Says Tuka, I have no interest in pleasing people; I care for no one but You, O Narayana.
