All my life only sorrow came as my companion.

All the useless  things, became  my day time

I lived   without food, I cried   loudly,

Oh  Kumari , Oh Kanya Kumari

Oh mother  who is head of forty three  angles,

Og Good Maya, who came running  , when I sang,

You are the one who sees  and you are the mother  who gives results,

With your Vel weapon, did you not remove my Karma

THamarai  pootha thadaga  thaye,

Cheer marai   pozhintha   chirparai  aaye,

Neermagal, Nilamagal, nin malai  neeye  (neeye..0

Oh mother  of the pond where lotus has flowered,

You are  the sculpture who    rained  the great Vedas,

You became  the nagini  praised in four directions,

Goddess  Lakshmi , Goddess  earth and your mountain, all are  yourself
