Would like the lyrics for the composition "nAle nalla nAl" (kApi) by vEdanAykam pillai. I recently heard this on the radio. Was mesmerised by the lyrics.
Thanks in advance.

Minor corrections:
A: Alum----> ALum (means ruling)
C: peruyavar---> periyavar
dEv asangItam ---> dEva sangItam
shellum ---> sollum (??)
paran ---> parama
nirkkum ---> niRkum

Mayuram Vedanayakam piLLai was a great scholar, writer, and philosopher. All his songs contain so much philosophy which is religiously neutral. He used his mudrai "vEdanAyakan" to denote the Lord of the scriptures (without mentioning which religion he was referring to in all his songs). He used maNipravALam style mostly in his songs. He was a Christian by birth but he never, for once, let religion play a role in his public activities as a Munsif or in his friendship with other people. He was friends with GKB, and Meenakshisundaram PiLlai, two of his great contemporaries.

Thank you Lji.
Has Vedanayakam Pillai been discussed in the "Vaggeyakaras" section? If not, I request somebody to start a thread so that we can know more about him. I am told that the sahana kriti "Oh Oh Kalame!" which shri Sanjay often sings in concerts is Shri Pillai's composition.

bhakta: can you provide the meaning to OhO kAlamE?

@kmrasika...
I am not very good at translation...my apologies...
Probably, the more learned members would be able to do full justice...
@Lji,
The song is set to Adi thalam and not rupakam.
