Pallavi

Maargam kattiduvai, marakatha vanna, manam irangi san (margam)

Anupallavi

Dahamadaintha maan ena thavikkum,
Bhava sokam theerave pozhi karunai,
Yezhai naan uyya

Charanam

Neethi vazhi arindhu nermai kadai pidithu,
Nadane kathaludan paal kondu,
Geetham paadi ambuja padam pothi,
Nadopasanayaal nargathi perave.

English Translation

Pallavi

Oh emerald coloured God, show me the way,
With a kind mind show me the proper way.

Anupallavi

I am suffering like a thirsty deer,
Due to the sorrow of birth and death,
Kindly shower your mercy on me.

Charanam

After understanding the way of Dharma,
And observing the path of honesty,
Oh Lord, with love I bring you milk,
Sing songs praising your lotus feet,
And do the penance of music to get,
A good life and salvation.
