Naanaati baduku natakamu

పల్లవి 
నానాటి బ్రతుకు నాటకము 
కానక కన్నది కైవల్యము


This day to day  life  is a drama  
What is seen yet not seen clearly  exactly means something which is seen yet not seen; for instance an object at a far off distance) is liberation/salvation 
చరణం1:
పుట్టుటయు నిజము, పోవుటయు నిజము,
నట్ట నడి మీ పని నాటకము 
ఎట్ట నెదుట గలదీ ప్రపంచము 
కట్ట కడపటిది కైవల్యము 


To be born is truth  to die (pOvuTayu literal meaning is to go; to leave) is truth. All the work in between these two is a drama. That which is right in front is the world mu). That which is the ultimate last is liberation.
చరణం2:
కుడిచే దన్నము, కోక చుట్టె
 
డిది, 
నడమంత్రపు పని నాటకము;
ఒడి గట్టుకొనిన ఉభయ కర్మములు 
గడి దాటినపుడే కైవల్యము 


To partake/relish  rice/food , to wrap around  a cloth/saree  this conjured-in-the-middle u) work  is a drama. When one crosses beyond  the above mentioned dual duties  only then there is liberation. 

చరణం3:
తెగదు పాపము తీరదు పుణ్యము 
నగి నగి కాలము నాటకము 
ఎగువలె శ్రీ వేంకటేశ్వరు డేలితే
గగనము మీదిది కైవల్యము 


Meaning : Our sins don't dwindle. Our good deeds don't extend. In between these, we do something and that is the much laughable drama. Beyond these there is one and only one Lord Sri Venkateshwara. Beyond the universe He is there and that is where the liberation is
Nanati Batuku Keerthana Lyrics in English

pallavi 
naanaati bratuku natakamu 
kanaka kannadi kaivalyamu

Charanam1:
puttutayu nijamu povutayu nijamu
natta nadi mee pani natakamu 
yetta neduta galadi prapanchamu 
katta kadapatidi kaivalyamu 

Charanam2:
kudiche dannamu koka chuttedidi 
nadamantrapu pani natakamu
odi gattukonina ubhaya karmamulu 
gadi datinapude kaivalyamu 




Charanam3:
tegadhu paapamu teeradhu punyamu 
nagi nagi kaalamu natakamu 
yeguvale shree venkateshvaru delithe
gaganamu neekidi kaivalyamu
