Translation:

pallavi: Give me a boon , Goddess of Speech! Let me adore your lotus feet, oh goddess.

caraNam 1: With your moonlike face and smile, shining pearl rings in your ear, and your sparkling teeth, stay in my heart, Oh Lotus-eyed Angel!

caraNam 2: You have the  splendour of ten million suns , you reside in the hearts of the great poets, you are the adored queen of the son of kaaginele AdikEshava (that is, you are the consort of Brahma, son of Vishnu)
