Pallavi

Nethru andhi nearathile  neeradum karai thanile ,

Nerungi ummai jaadai   katti  azhaithavAN Yaarayya

Pallavi

Yesterday at   dusk  in the bathing ghat of the river ,

Who came close to you    and invited you   with  signs.

Anupallavi

Nerthi ma mayil yerum   Kandhaa , neer avalum   edhit muzhiyai nirkka  ,

Mayile sokkayile , pakkam thanil   irundhen swami

Anupallavi

Ok Skandha who climbs  on that great  peacock , when you and her ,

Were   standing staring at each other , making even the peacock shy  ,

I was standing   near you  , oh lord.

Charanam

1.Mun naalil   yennidathil   sondham poala  vandhu,

Muthu muthai   sarasamadi moham athai thandha,

Mannavar   un ninaivu  kondu  , annam kandoru madham undu,

Varum ayya yen duraye, theerum ayya   yen kavalai.

1.In   earlier days   approaching me like a  relative ,

And speaking peral like  love words  you  gave me  passion,

And  thinking of you  who is my king , I resembled a swan  with exhuberance ,

And so my   darling lord please come   and   take away my   sorrow.

2.Pillai  mathi  udaya pengal  pedhamayai  kandu,

Perulagil, chuthi kolvaar purushar idhu vundu,

Thellu thamizh  Subbaraman   chei   padathukku  churulum,

Thiruvidayo  ini sahiyen  shevalan   kodi udayoi.

2.Seeing the   follishness  of innocent ladies who have a child’s brain,

In this great world  the drunk men  would  circle  them,

And  for this verse in pure tamil composed by Subbaraman,

Is this the reply  , I cannot tolerate this oh Lord wth a cock flag.
