S-P here you go:
pallavi
pUvilurai vEdan bhujam shEr vANI bhuvi mIdun sEyanai kAttaruL kalyANi
Oh sarasvati (vANi), held by the Lord of the vEdas (vEdan) who resides (urai) in a lotus flower (pUvil) in his arms (bhujam SEr), please protect (kAttu) and bless (aruL) your (un) child (SEyanai) upon (mIdil) this earth (bhuvi), Oh ever-auspicious one (kalyANi)!
anupallavi
nAvilurai dEvi sakala kalai navila aruLvAi nAlavar pOTrum (pUvilurai"¦)
Oh goddess (dEvi) who resides (urai) in (my) tongue (nAvil), worshipped/praised (pOTRum) by the famous four (nAlvar) [1]! (Oh sarasvati"¦.) please bless me (aruLvAi) with the ability to learn/perform (navila) all (sakala) of the art forms (kalai).
caraNam
tUya veN kalai aNI tigazha yAzhoDu tAmarai mIdamarndALum sarasvati
tAyE un tALiNaiyE dinam tudittEn tirumAdoDu madumatirai uditta (pUvilurai"¦)
With the flawless/spotless/pure (tUya) white (veN) crescent moon (kalai) adornment (aNi) shining brightly (tigazha) on your forehead, Oh sarasvati who rules (ALum) over us while seated (amarndu) on (mIdu) a lotus (tAmarai), holding a vINA (yAzh) [2] in her hands! Oh mother (tAyE) who arose (uditta) from the ocean (tirai) with (oDu) laskhmi (tirumAdu) and pArvati (mAd(u)umai) [3]! I have worshipped (tudittEn) your (un) feet (tALiNaiyE) [4] everyday (dinam), (Oh sarasvati"¦)!
FOOTNOTES
[1] the nAlvar I am familiar with are apppar, sambandar, sundarar, and mANikkavAcagar
[2] yAzh is not exactly a vINA, but a stringed instrument that is similar - there is more than one kind of yAzh
[3] I am totally flummoxed by the underlined word - I split is as mAd(u)umai to derive pArvati because the preceding word described lakshmi (tirumAdu), but the phrase ‘tirumAdoDu mAdumai tirai uditta’ doesn’t make any sense at all, even though ‘tirai’ could mean the ‘sea’ - I hope some one will help (Rajani, Arasi, Sridhar, Punarvasu, others....?)
[4] tAL - feet, iNai - both of them in unison
