Meaning in English

Early in the morning, we come to serve You, O Govinda,
and praise Your sacred lotus feet — please listen to our prayer!

We were born in the humble clan that tends Your cows,
and we are bound to serve You forever.
Do not refuse us this chance for service, O merciful one!

Grant us the Parai (divine blessing) not just for this birth,
but through all births to come.
We shall always be united with You,
serving only You, desiring nothing else — O Paavai!
