Kanavilum kamala khazhalinai thanaye

Kanivudan thudhikka  varam arul thaye.

Vana kuyil inamum, vanambadiyum  unadu  adi ninaindhe  ullam pongiye,

Dinakaran  thoondave daiva geethangal Ghana nayamudane ganam pozhivadu pol.

 

English translation

 

Pallavi

 

Please give me boon mother to pray,

Even in my dream your lotus like feet.

 

Anupallavi

 

For getting the lofty state of  selfless feeling,

Please make me offer you the flowers of music

 

Charanam

 

The clan of the koels of the sky  and the nightingales ,

Thinking about your feet  and with emotions roused,

Similar to the raining of songs, sing the divine music,

Aroused by the Sun God, with expertise in music
