Lakshman-ji,

Here is my transliteration of Shri Kalki's Tamil song which is published in the 'Kalki Centenary Issue', a supplement to Kalki magazine dated 12.9.1999:-

maRavEnE

maRavEnE ennALilumE giri
dhAri unadaruLE - giri
dhAri unadaruLE

nanjai nI uNDanaiyO indap
panjaiyaik kAttanaiyO oru
vinjai purindanaiyO

ArangaL shUDiDuvEn -- alan-
kArangaL sheidiDuvEn -- pala
gItangaL pADiDuvEn

kastUrip poTTiDuvEn -- maNit
toTTilum aTTiDuvEn -- pala
niSTUram kURiDuvEn

ADagap poRshadangai -- iDai
shUDi nI ADi vara -- ena-
dAvi urugiDumE

kaNNA en kaNmaNiyE -- maNi
vaNNA endan duraiyE -- unnaip
paNNAl tudittiDuvEn

[Pratyaksham Bala]

I am not aware how Bombay S. Jayashri has presented the song in the CD 'Endrum Vasantham'.

[Lakshman]

Thanks Pratyaksham Bala for the complete lyrics and the corrections.

[rshankar]

Two of the verses (kastUri...and ADaga...) were not used in the final version of this song for the movie mIrA....

maRavEnE ennALilumE giri
dhAri unadaruLE - giri
dhAri unadaruLE
I will not forget (maRavEnE) your (unadu) grace/blessing (aruLE) for even a single day (ennALilumE), Oh one who bore (dhAri) the mount (giri) gOvardhan!

nanjai nI uNDanaiyO indap
panjaiyaik kAttanaiyO oru
vinjai purindanaiyO
Did you (nI) swallow (uNDanaiyO) the posion (nanjai) and save/protect (kAttanaiyO) this (inda) destitute (panjaiyai)? [1] Did you perform (purindanaiyO) an (oru) act of magic (vinjai)?

ArangaL shUDiDuvEn -- alan-
kArangaL sheidiDuvEn -- pala
gItangaL pADiDuvEn
I will adorn (SUTiDuvEn) you with numerous garlands (ArangaL), and I will decorate your person with beautiful things (alankArangaL SeidiDuvEn), and I will sing (pADiDuvEn) you many (pala) songs (gItangaL).

kastUrip poTTiDuvEn -- maNit
toTTilum aTTiDuvEn -- pala
niSTUram kURiDuvEn
I will place (iDuvEn) a tilak (poTTu) on your forehead made with sandal paste and saffron (kastUri), and I will rock (ATTiDuvEn) your gem-encrusted (maNi) cradle (toTTilum), and I will speak (kURiDuvEn) harsh words (nishTUram)[2].

ADagap poRshadangai -- iDai
shUDi nI ADi vara -- ena-
dAvi urugiDumE
As you come (vara) dancing (ADi) with a greenish hued (ADaga) golden (poR) sting of bells (caDangai) strung (SUDi) around your waist (iDai), my soul/spirit (Avi) will become tender/melt (urugiDumE) with love.

kaNNA en kaNmaNiyE -- maNi
vaNNA endan duraiyE -- unnaip
paNNAl tudittiDuvEn
Oh kRshNa who is as precious as the pupil (maNiyE) of my (en) eye (kaN)! My (endan) dark (maNi)-hued (vaNNA) lord and master (duraiyE), I will worship (tudittiDuvEn) you (unnai) with my songs (paNNAl).

FOOTNOTES
[1] In mIrA's own words, this was 'vish kA pyAlA rANAjI nE bhEjyA, pIbat mIrA hAsi rE'
[2] I guess the harsh words here are complaints

[HariKrishna]

Thank you!
