Karavaigal Pin Senru kaanam Serndhunbom
Arivonrum Illaadha Aaykkulaththu Un Thannai
Piravi Perundhanai Punniyamum Yaam Udaiyom
Kurai Onrum Illadha Govindaa Un Thannodu
Uravel Namakku Ingozhikka Ozhiyaadhu
Ariyaa Pizhaigalom Anbinnaal Un Thannai
Siruper Azhaiththanavum Seeri Arulaadhe
Iraivaa Nee Thaaraay Parai Elorembaavaay

Meaning in English

We follow the herds and wander through the forests,
simple cowherd girls without much wisdom or learning.
Yet by great fortune, we have come close to You, O Govinda,
who are flawless and complete.

Our bond with You can never be broken!
Even if we have called You in our childish ignorance,
do not take offense, O compassionate Lord.
Shower Your grace upon us and grant us the Parai (divine blessing) —
O Paavai, Lord of mercy!
