Yennai kai thooki aal deivame

Pallavi
Oh God who dances   lifting  one leg  ,
Oh God  who holds my hand and rules me.

Anupallavi
Velai   thookum   pillai thanai  petra  deivame,
Minnum pugazh eesar  thillai ponnamabalathil oru

Anupallavi
Oh God who gave birth to a son who lifts   the Vel,
Who is a god   with shining fame,who  in the  ,
Golden temple of Thillai  lifts  one leg

Charanam
Chenkayyil   maan thooki   , shivandha  mazhuvai   thooki  ,
Angathil   oru pennai  anudhinamum  thooki ,
Gangayai thingalai   kalaitha chadai mel thooki ,

Charanam
Lifting  a deer in his red hands  , Lifting a   red axe  ,
Daily lifting a lady     by his  body  ,
Lifting ganges and the moon  on his  disorderly  matted hair  ,
Is the one who was searched   by two  but could not be found.

  4. நந்தி மத்தளம் தூக்க நாரதர் யாழ் தூக்க
    தோம் தோம் என்றயன் தாளம் சுருதியோடு தூக்க
    சிந்தை மகிழ்ந்து வானோர் சென்னி மேல் கரம் தூக்க
    முந்தும் வலியுடைய முயலகன் உன்னைத் தூக்க (காலை)
