When I heard the Pallavi I thought this song to be a Purandaradasa Krithi but when I searched the entire lyrics I found to be that of Tyagaraja's. I think there is a little influence of his manaseeka Guru in this song. You will enjoy this song which is set in Navarasakannada where there is brisk phase of Gamaks and Swaras which splashes on us.

You will enjoy the singing of Smt M.S. Subbulakshi Amma which is shared here along with the lyrics and meaning.

In this Kriti Sri Tyagaraja says that his mind does not think of anything other than the Lord. He says his eyes are totally absorbed in enjoying the Lords beauty. His ears are engaged only in listening to his stories and his tongue continuously chants the divine names of the Lord. Wherever he wanders he sees only him and even deceitful words have become sweet. Tyagaraja has attained such a state even deceitful words have become sweet and he finally says that he could able to see the Lord every where because of fruits of his Tapasya and austerities.

Let us also perform all austerities to attain the state like Tyagraja and see the Lord the everywhere, hear the stories of him at all times and chant his divine glories always.

Have a divine Sunday and a great week ahead.

Ninnu Vinaa Naamadi Endu – Navarasa Kannada – Sri Tyagaraja

Pallavi 

Ninnu Vinaa Naamadi Endu Niluvade Shrihari Hari 

Oh Srihari my mind does not think of anything other than you.

Anupallavi 

Kanulakuni Sogasento Grammi Unnadi Ganuka

It is because my eyes are totally absorbed in enjoying your beauty.

Charanam 

Needu Kathalu Veenulandu Nindi Yunnadi Raama
Shrida Nee Naamamu Nota Jelagiyunnadi Ganuka

It is because my ears are only engaged in listening to your stories. Oh Rama the bestower of prosperity, my tongue continuously chants nothing but your name. 

Nenu Echata Juchinanu Neevai Yunnadi Raama
Bhaanu Vamsa Tilaka Needu Bhaktu Danuchu Peru Ganuka


Oh Rama the diadem of Raghu dynasty, wherever my eyes wander I see you only because I am known as your devotee.

Kapatamou Maatalella Kammanainadi Naa
Taapamu Yaaga Phalamu Neeve Tyaagaraaja Sannuta


Even deceitful words have become sweet. 
Oh Lord worshipped by Tyagaraja, you are the fruit of all my austerities.
