Pallavi

Nillamal pogum nilave –chathu,

Nindru po, avar varum alave,

Nenjil idam konda   kannanai  kana,

Neram kadanthu varuvathu  oru neethi,

Nirai mathiyagavum   oru thingalagum,

Neethi ariyatha   unnudaya chethi.

Pallavi

Oh moon who goes  without stopping ,

Please wait  till he comes   and then go,

To see Krishna who has occupied my mind,

One justice    is for you  to come very   late ,

You would take one month to become full,

This news of yours   is due to ignorance of justice.

Anupallvi

Pallayiram kodi tharagaikal choozha  ,

BHavani vanthai , kuraivu illaye –antha,

Pangaya kannan   manam irangi  varum  neram varai,

Paarthu po , ondrum thavaru illaye.

Anupallavi

Surrounded    several thousand crores   of stars,

You came , did you have any problem,

Till  the time that Krishna with lotus like eyes comes

If you wait and  go , is there any problem in it.

Charanam

Nala adiyargal pudai choozha , ingu raja nadai pottu varalaam,

Nadha kuzhal oothi, Raga mozhi pesi, kadal uravadi varalaam,

Aanalum   ondru undu nischayam , ithu,

Yenthan aavi  pogum mun vandhalum    varalaam.

Charanam

He could come  surrounded by several sages  and come with a royal stride,

He could come playing a musical flute, taking a lilting language  and  come talking of love,

But there is some thing very definite, this,

Could be before the soul leaves my body.
