ellAm Sivan Seyal enRE--lyrics please

[arasi]

Lakshman,
Please give the lyrics of 'ellAm Sivan Seyal' (Suddhananda Bharathi?). Are there two versions? One in vasantha and the other in kalyani? Or, are they different compositions by different composers?

[Lakshman]

There is only one composition, maybe sung in two different rags.

ellAm shivan seyal. rAgA: kalyANi. cApu tALA.

P: ellAm shivan seyal enrE kavalaiyinri iruppAi nI maDa nenjamE
A: palvEru guNappOrgaL tollai sei ulagilE nalladu vandAlum polladu vandAlum
C1: UrellAm pazhittiDap-pErellAm keTTAlum uravinar yAvarum unnaik-kai viTTAlum
pArellAm iccaiyAl paDaittavan irukkinrAn bhaktaraik-kai viDAn sattiyam sheigirEn
2: pancamA bAdhakar vanjanai seidAlum padam keTTa tIyavar nidam unai vaidAlum
anjal anjalenrE accattaip-pOkkiDum appan irukkinrAn aDiyAraik-kAkkinrAn

Thanks Lakshman!
I heard it a few years ago in vasantA sung by Sanjay and it made me very happy. Hearing the rAgam elaborated on after a long time followed by a brand new song and not the predictable harihara putram--and Neraval at anjEl anjEl enrE made my day.
I presume the composer is Suddhananda Bharathi. A lovely song.

[Lakshman]

It is by Shuddhananda Bharati.

[arasi]

S-P, here you go:

pallavi
ellAm shivan seyal enrE kavalaiyinri iruppAi nI maDa nenjamE

Oh foolish (maDa) heart (nenjamE), you (nI) should rest (iruppAi) without (inri) worries (kavalai) after realizing that (enrE) everything (ellAm) is but the act (seyal) of Lord Siva (Sivan)!

anupallavi
palvEru guNappOrgaL tollai sei ulagilE nalladu vandAlum polladu vandAlum (ellAm Sivan seyal…)
In this world (ulagilE) where multiple (palvEru) conflicts (pOrgaL) between different points of view/opinions/beliefs (guNa) create (Sei) a multitude of problems (tollai), (Oh foolish heart of mine, realize that) whatever comes (vandAlum) your way, good (nalladu) or bad (pollAdu) (is but the act of Lord Siva…)

UrellAm pazhittiDap-pErellAm keTTAlum uravinar yAvarum unnaik-kai viTTAlum
pArellAm iccaiyAl paDaittavan irukkinrAn bhaktaraik-kai viDAn sattiyam sheigirEn

I promise (sattiyam SeigirEn) [1] that even if the whole town (UrellAm) ridicules (pazhittiDa) you, your name/reputation (pErellAm) is ruined (keTTAlum), and all (yAvarum) your relatives (uravinar) abandon (kai viTTAlum) you (unnai), the Lord who created (paDaittavan) the entire (ellAm) world (pAr) by the power of his thought (iccaiyAl) [2] is there (irukkirAn) to protect you – he will not abandon (kai viDAn) his devotees (bhaktarai)

caraNam 2
panca bAdhakar vanjanai seidAlum padam keTTa tIyavar nidam unai vaidAlum
anjal anjalenrE accattaip-pOkkiDum appan irukkinrAn aDiyAraik-kAkkinrAn

Even if people who have committed the 5 (panca) deadly sins (bAdhakar) [3] deceive (vanjanai SidAlum) you, and inappropriate (padam keTTa) [4] evil men (tIyavar) abuse/curse (vaidAlum) you (unai) daily (nidam), remember that the Lord (appan) who removes (pOkkiDum) fear (accu adai) with the clarion call of ‘Fear not’ (anjal anjal enrE) is always around (irukkinrAn), protecting (kAkkinrAn) his devotees (aDiyArai).

FOOTNOTES
[1] sattiyam SeigirEn – I attest to the truth
[2] In this context, iccaiyAl could also mean desire (i.e., the Lord created the world out of his desire)
[3] the five deadly sins are 1) killing a brAhmin, 2) consuming intoxicating drinks, 3) stealing gold, 4) committing adultery with one’s guru’s wife who is supposed to be equal to a mother, 5) associating with people who have committed the other 4 sins
[4] I have translated this contextually for I have never come across this phrase used in this context

Ravi,
padam keTTa (pakkuvam illAda)

[rshankar]

Thanks Arasi - 'inappropriate' is probably adequate then, right?

[arasi]

Yes, Ravi. One can add: immature, unrefined.
