(Here is a pretty Lullaby   to  Goddess Meenakshi of Madhuari. You can hear it sung in  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WUs1DOyUX0 )

Pallavi 

Mudhiraigal  SAkshi  ,

Moovulagum  un Akshi  ,

Madhurai Meenakshi 

Thalelo  , THalelo

The ancient   sastras    are your witness

All the three  worlds   you rulr,

Oh Meenakshi of Madurai,

Please sleep, please sleep

Anupallavi

THamarai un Padangal ,

THandai oli naadangal ,

Ma marayil perezhile,

Aranange  Thalelo ,

Madurai Meenakshi  Thalelo , thalelo

Your feet are lotus flowers,

The musical sound we hear is  the sound of your anklets,

Oh prettiness   of the great Vedas,

Oh Pretty lady  , please sleep,

Oh Meenakshi of Madurai please sleep, please sleep,.

Charanam

1,Manikhy thottil katti  ,

Mani kannil mai  theetti.

AAni pon menikku anikalankal pootti ,

Varunikka   un pakkam  Chokkanadhar  Varuvaaro,

Madhurai meenakshi  thalelo thalelo

Tying a cradle made  of ruby  ,

After  decorating your  gem of the eyes with  Kajal,

Wearing ornaments on your body of unalloyed gold,

Would Chokkanathar   come   to your side to describe you  ,

Oh Meenakshi of Madurai please sleep, please sleep,.

2,Jnalamellam   alanthan  un thamayan,

Halam  undaan   arumai  nayakan,

Nilla pranava  porul  uraitha  kandhan un balakan ,

Kola Ganapathi pazham kandu unai valam vandhaaro,

Mahurai Meenakshi Thalelo , Thalelo

Worlds   were       measured   by  your elder   brother,

Your dear husband   ate  poison,

The skanda who  told  the meaning of “om  “ but who did not wait  is your son,

Did    the pretty   Ganesa seeing the mango fruit go round you,

Oh Meenakshi of Madurai please sleep, please sleep,.
