1.Nathan namam ni bhaji indre,
Nalaiu endral yare kandaar,
Aadalal bhava rogam ozhinthadave
2.Nadayum talara deham odunga ,
Navathu kuzhara , kangal manga,
Enna sheivai thunai yaar varuvar unakku
English translation
Pallavi
Oh mind do not ever forget even for second.
The name of the God of the universe.
Anupallavi
Do not get indulged in passion and become bad,
Is this illusory life , permanent?
Charanam
1.You pray the God’s name today itself,
For who can predict about tomorrow,
So that disease of birth and death is cured.
2.You will totter, the body would become very weak,
The words would not be clear , eyes would become dim,
And that time what will you do, Who will come for your help.
Translations to English of the lyrics of Krithis of Carnatic music , which are tomes of devotion.
