Here you go. Rajani, PB, Arasi, Punarvasu, and Sundara Rajan (and others) will fix the errors!

pallavi
ayyanE ATkoL meyyanE enai muttu murugayyanE

Oh muttu muruga, my lord (ayyanE), the true one (meyyanE), please admit me (enai) to your divine grace (ATkoL)!

kaNNi
1: sheyyanE nin ishai dikkengum paravattakka vAkkanugrahittuccittu muttu murug-
Oh just one (seyyanE), it will be appropriate (uccittu) if you show your favor (anugrahittu) so that your (nin) song (isai) is good enough (takka) to spread (parava) in all directions (dikkengum), (Oh muttu muruga)!

2: candamighunda kanda gAnAmudam tA brahmAnandak-kanda shonda murug-
This set of compositions, called the kanda gAnAmudam [1], that is replete (migunda) with beautiful musical flow and rhythmic movement of verse (candam) that is in a specific meter (kanda) that grants bliss (brahmAnanda) is your unique property (sonda), (Oh muttu muruga)!

3: konkulAm kavi kunjradAsan anjcorkkaruL aindaru guru tiru murug-
(Oh muttu muruga), you are like the five wish-granting trees (aintaru) [2], my preceptor (guru), who has granted (aruL) me, the slave (dAsan) of the poet (kavi) called kunjara [1] from the land of kongu (kongulAm) [3], the capacity to create beautiful words (anjcor) [4]!
