Pallavi

Naan oru vilayattu bommaiya,

Nayagiye umaye naan undanukku

 

Anupallavi

Naanilathil pala piravi eduthu,

Thindadinathu podathaa, Devi undanakku

Charanam

Arul amudai paruga amma , amma endru,

Alaruvathai  ketpadhu ananadama?

Oru pugal indri  un thiruvadi adainthene,

Thiruvulam irangadha? Devi undanukku.

 

English translation

 

Pallavi

Am I a toy for playing to you?

Oh Goddess , Oh Uma , am I to you

 

Anupallavi

Is it not sufficient  for having undergone sufferings,

After Having taken several births in this earth, Oh Goddess for you

 

Charanam

Is it a joy  for you to hear me crying mother, mother,

For drinking the nectar of your grace

Having no place to go I reached your holy feet,

Does not your divine mind melt? Oh Goddess for you.
