Could I request a translation of this song?

The lyrics are here: http://www.karnatik.com/c3033.shtml

A rendition by Smt. Pattammal is available in Sri TVG's folder on Sangeethapriya.

Thanks in advance.

Here is a running translation with a few minor corrections:

P: sarasvati nannepuDu callaga jUDavamma
Oh Sarasvati, always watch over me.

A: vara vINA pustakamula vadalaka dhariyincina shrI
(Oh sarasvati) who always holds on to Veena and books without letting go of them!

C: nIdu vAkkuvalana nikhila lOkamulaku vEda vEdAntamula nosagi brOcitivi
You have saved the world by providing it with the vedas and philosophies, by the way of your word,

nAdu = my

manamuna neppuDu nilaci gAtuvanucu nI pAdamulanu nammiti gOpAladAsa pOSaki ikanu
I have believed that you will remain in my heart always and save me, Oh benefactor of Gopaladasa (composer), now.
