May need correction. Translation would help clear a lot of cobwebs.

S-P - thank you for introducing me to this philosophical composition of Sri GKB. I am not very sure about the reference to drinking milk mentioned in caraNam 4. Therefore, I have left it out.
pallavi
pArttu pizhayungaL nIngaL pArttu pizhaiyungaL
You (nIngaL) please survive/get by (pizhaiyungaL) by taking in/beholding (pArttu) (the form of my Lord in cidambaram)
caraNam 1
pArttu pizhai inda shOTrut-turuttiyai Ettit-tozha vENDAm kAttup-pOghumunnE (pArttu...)
Do not (vENDAm) continually pay obeisence (Etti tozha) to your stomach (SOTRu turuttiyai) [1], but at least before (munnE) the last breath (kAttu) leaves you (pOgum), (all of you please survive/get by by taking in/beholding the form of my Lord).
caraNam 2
pAdimati shUDum kUttaniDamAya sUttirattai inda-kSEttirattuL-LADip- (pArttu...)
Please experience the illusory (mAya) mystery (sUttirattai) that is hidden in the left (iDam) [2] half of the celestial dancer (kUttan) [3] who wears (SUDum) a half/crescent (pAdi) moon (mat(d)i) on his locks, and dance (ADi) in ecstacy in this (inda) place (kshEtrattuL) (as you take in his form and get by).
caraNam 3
vITriruppIr kAlan kAttiruppAn shiva shAttirattai jnAna nEttirattAl-uTrup- (pArttu ...)
Please stay awake/attentive (vITRiruppIr), for time/yama (kAlan) is ticking/waiting (kAttiruppAn). Take this opportunity to carefully (uTru) evaluate/see (pArrtu) the tenets (SAttirattai) laid down by Siva with the eyes (nEttirattAl) of knowledge (jnAna).
caraNam 5
bAlakrSNan tozhum kOlap-padangaLai mElukku mEl nADi shAlak-kaliyara (pArttu...)
In order to fully (SAla) get rid of (ara) the weariness/uneasiness (kali) that comes from this worldly existence, please agressively (mElukku mEl) seek (nADi) out the beautiful (kOla) feet (padangaLai) that I, bAlakrishNan [4] worship (tozhum), and (get by/survive by beholding his form).
FOOTNOTES
[1] This refers to being immersed in material and worldly pleasures - 'pET kI pUjA'
[2] Refers to pArvati - 'siva vAma bhAga nilayE'
[3] kUttu is how the dance form subsequently called bharatnATyam was known as, and the Lord of the dance was 'kUttan', and his stage was 'kUttambalam'. naTarAja 'the Lord/King of dance' is a sanskrit term that evolved much later.
