Poruthu arulvaye , bhooma   deviye ,

Pongum kopam     yeno, podum thaaye

Shodanai pothatho  manila   thaye

Mannil piranthale maalvathu nijame,

Maaye , nee  manam vaithaal kavalaikal  oyume,

Kanniyamai vaazha  kathu arulvaye ,

Karunai udan vaazha  vandhu arulvaaye.

English translation

Pallavi

Oh  goddess  earth, please  bear with us,

Why this ebbing anger, Oh mother  it is sufficient

Anupallavi

Please  shower   the love that  is produced,

Oh Mother land , Is the test not sufficient

Charanam

If we are   born in this earth, death is the truth,

Oh Goddess   of illusion , If you want all the worries would disappear ,

Please protect us so that we can live honestly,

Please come and shower your grace to live with mercy.
