Here is the transliteration:-

munnam avanuDaiya nAmam kETTAL
mUrtti avanirukkum vaNNam kETTAL
pinnai avanuDaiya ArUr kETTAL
peyarttum avanukkE picci yAnAL
annaiyaiyum attanaiyum anRE nIttAL
aganRAL akaliDattAr AcArattai
tannai maRandAL tan nAmam keTTAL
talaippaTTAL nangai talaivan TALE.

In the dance sequence, 'pemmAn' is used instead of 'peyarttum'.

Thanks, Rajani, and PB. According to Sri Kalki's SivakAmiyin sabadam, she dances to nAvukkarasar's compositions. I wondered if the people who filmed pArthiban kanavu were faithful to the original.
