Even if the heavenly armies stand in opposition against him,
Plundering victory and wearing the garland of triumph,
The handsome, Cupid-like warrior with a moon-like face,
Will win the war and come before my eyes.
வானோர் சேனைகளும் வந்தெதிர் நின்றாலும்
வாரிச் சூறையாடி வாகையும் சூடி
சந்திர மாமுக சுந்தர மாறன்
சமரை வென்று என் நேரினில் வருவாரே
Just like the Veena and its sweet melody,
Upon this vast earth...
My lord will grant everlasting joy in my life.
Please grant your grace so no harm or evil approaches us,
வீணையும் நாதமும் போல்
மாநில மீதினிலே...ஏ.....
மாறா இன்பம் வாழ்வினிலே தருவாரே நாதன்
தீதணுகாமல் நீ அருள்வாயே
O Lord Krishna!
