English translation

Pallavi
When would I think about it , heart,
When would I think of the feet of the lord, heart.

Anupallavi
If you spend very many days thinking about wealth,
The youth of ladies and the importance of your job,
When would you think the feet of the lord.

Charanam

1.If you concentrate and spend days in songs ,
Many sports and in the forest of bad thoughts,
When would you think about the feet of the Lord

2. If you spend you time thinking about wife,
Children and life and also in bad activities,
When would you think about the feet of the Lord

3.If we work hard for the white man till we die ,
For the sake of food to fill the hand wide hole,
When would you think about the feet of the lord

4.If we work for the sake of the party man who come on a visit
And to this city and destroy whatever valour we have,
When would you think about the feet of the Lord

5.If we break our head by being near the lawers,
Who fight shouting till their throats slit.
When would we think about the feet of the lord

6.If we spend all our time near the ladies of this world ,
Believing all the tricks , when would think about the feet of the lord

7.Forgetting the holy lessons of Vedanayagam ,
And roam for a long distance here and there
When would we think about the lord.
