A translation would help clarify some parts. Thanks.

Here you go - Sri Cidambaranathan is treading the path of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and other advocates of nAmasankIrtanam (the concept that taking the name of the Lord is as good as praying - exemplified by the story of ajamiLa - and the reason why many hindus use a God's name when naming their children).

pallavi
nAmam nalla nAmam nanmaiyin rUpamAi nAnilam kAkkum (nAmam nalla...)

The name (nAmam) that protects (kAkkum) this world (nAnilam) as the embodiment/very form of (rUpamAi) virtue/good (nanmaiyin) is an excellent/superior/superlative (nalla) name (nAmam).

Anupallavi
tAmarai kaNNanai tannisaiyAl dinam tavattiru nAdayOgi tyAgarAjar kaNDa (nAmam nalla...)

(The name) that the divine (tiru) ascetic (tava), tyAgarAja, who visualized/realized (kaNDa) the lotus (tAmarai)-eyed (kaNNanai) rAma through his (tan) music (iSaiyAl) took on a daily basis (dianm) (is indeed an excellent one).

caraNam
janana maraNa bhayam nIkkum nAmam sanakAdi munivargaL japittiDum nAmam
manattiruL nIkkiDum mangaLa nAmam mAtA pitA guruvai maditta mannan rAman

It is a name (nAmam) the mere chanting of which will destroy/remove (nIkkum) the fear (bhayam) of the endless and vicious cycle of birth (janana) and death (maraNa); it is a name that is chanted (japittiDum) by ascetics (munivargaL) like sanaka and others (Adi); it is an auspicious (mangaLa) name that removes (nIkkiDum) the darkness (iruL) from one's soul/mind (mana); the name 'rAmA' (rAman) that Sri tyAgarAja respected/treated (maditta) as the name of his mother (mAtA), father (pita), and preceptor (guruvAi) (is indeed an excellent name).
