Ponnambathadum Kali
Anupallavi
Parul para brahmathai adakkiya saayai,
Padum vedangangalum ariyatha maayai
Charanam
Paramanandanai paathiyai mathinaal,
Paranthaman mukamathil pal vilangu ethinaal,
Siramadu aru padave vinai thanai thoothinaal,
Harikesanagar Vaazhum yemmai kaapathinaal
English meaning
Pallavi
The blue goddess who cannot be controlled by any one,
The Kali who dances in the golden temple at Chidambaram,
Anuppallavi
She who has controlled Para Brahmam in this earth,
The illusion who cannot be understood even by the singing Vedangas
Charanam
She made the body of the great joyous god in to half
She praised clearly Lord Vishnu to his face,
When Brahma’s head was cut , she blamed the fate ,
And protected me who lives in Hari kesa nagar.
Translations to English of the lyrics of Krithis of Carnatic music , which are tomes of devotion.
Here are the correct lyrics:

nIli refers to PArvati or KALi (not blue colored goddess)
It is not "paramAnandanai" but "paraman agam tanai" which means "she converted Shiva into half of his original self taking the other half for herself"
She assigned several animal faces to VishNu (for varaha, narasimha avatArams) since she was the primeval energy.
