English translation

Pallavi
Will you be able to tell bird,
Will you be able to tell

Anupallavi
Ask the very able Muruga himself,
To come and talk with all of us

Charanam
1.Ask That darling son of the divine lord,
Who dances in the temple at Chidambaram,
To come here , join with us and become joyous

2.How was it that he completely learned to forget
The deed done at dusk , Near the pond of water lily,
To the jasmine plant which was there,

3.Ask him to deeply think about the wonderful words,
That he told when he was walking holding my hand,
In the desert after he took an oath on his Vel.
