The lyrics with meaning are as follows:
Benediction by His Holiness Jagadguru Shri Shankaracharya of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam


Maitreem Bhajatha Akhila hrijethreem

Cultivate friendship, which will conquer all hearts

Atmavadeva paranapi pashyatha
Look upon others as thyself

Yuddham thyajatha spardha thyajatha

Renounce war; forswear competition

thyajatha pareshwa kramamakramanam

Give up aggression on others which is wrong
Actually the portion in second stanza is inspired by a story in Taithreeya upanishad where Devas,Manushyas and asuras approach Brahma for upadesha.Brahma just uttered the syllable
"Da" whichwas interpreted according to the nature of the three clans.Devas given to pleasures took it as Damyatha meaning moderation and human beings given to selfishness interpreted it as Datta as charity to others while asuras known for cruelty took it as compassion.Since this allegorically refers to our own gunas this was given as the benediction.
Janani prithivi kama dughastey

Abide mother earth, our mother is here to give us all our desires

Janako devaha sakala dayaluhu

Lord our father compassionate to all

Daamyatha duttha dayadvam janatha

World ! restrain yourselves, give, be kind

Shreyo bhuyath sakala jananaam

May all people be happy and prosperous
