English translation

 

Pallavi

Since you are the wish giving cow , please do not leave me out

 

Anupallavi

When I am leaving my body , come personally ,

Show me the  temple of Chidambaram,

And do not leave me,  who am following  a good path

 

Charanam

Your greatness has no end or beginning.

And who can know you and sing your praises,

And have we not heard that this  Chidambaram,

Is the light which even the great Vedas have not seen,

And Oh Lord , to   those who have come believing in ,

Your lotus like feet  , cut off their attachments,

And  Oh Nataraja,  you who have with love  helped the poet Gopalakrishnan,

Please  do not leave me out.
