Pallavi
Nillamal pogum nilave –chathu,
Nindru po, avar varum alave,
Nenjil idam konda kannanai kana,
Neram kadanthu varuvathu oru neethi,
Nirai mathiyagavum oru thingalagum,
Neethi ariyatha unnudaya chethi.
Pallavi
Oh moon who goes without stopping ,
Please wait till he comes and then go,
To see Krishna who has occupied my mind,
One justice is for you to come very late ,
You would take one month to become full,
This news of yours is due to ignorance of justice.
Anupallvi
Pallayiram kodi tharagaikal choozha ,
BHavani vanthai , kuraivu illaye –antha,
Pangaya kannan manam irangi varum neram varai,
Paarthu po , ondrum thavaru illaye.
Anupallavi
Surrounded several thousand crores of stars,
You came , did you have any problem,
Till the time that Krishna with lotus like eyes comes
If you wait and go , is there any problem in it.
Charanam
Nala adiyargal pudai choozha , ingu raja nadai pottu varalaam,
Nadha kuzhal oothi, Raga mozhi pesi, kadal uravadi varalaam,
Aanalum ondru undu nischayam , ithu,
Yenthan aavi pogum mun vandhalum varalaam.
Charanam
He could come surrounded by several sages and come with a royal stride,
He could come playing a musical flute, taking a lilting language and come talking of love,
But there is some thing very definite, this,
Could be before the soul leaves my body.
