Sandhya,
Here you go (I have made some minor changes to the lyrics as posted by Lji):

pallavi
rakSa rakSa jaganmAtA sarva shakti jaya durgA (2)
Protect (raksha) me, oh mother (mAtA) of the world (jagat), the all (sarva) powerful (Sakti)! Hail (jaya) to durgA!

anupallavi
mangaLa vAram sholliDa vENum mangaLa caNDikai slOkam
idai onbadu vAram sholluvadAlE umaiyavaL tiruvaruL sErum
(One/you) must chant (SolliDa vENDum) the verses (slOkam) on the auspicious (mangaLa) yet fearsome dEvi (caNDikai) on Tuesday (mangaLavAram). The benefit from chanting (solluvadAlE) these verses (idai) for nine (onbadu) weeks (vAram) is that the divine (tiru) grace (aruL) of pArvati (umaiyavaL) will come (sErum) (to you).

paDaippavaL avaLE kAppavaL avaLE azhippavaL avaLE shakti
abhayam enravaLai sharan pugundAlE aDaikkalam avaLE shakti
jaya jaya shankari gauri manOhari abhayam aLittavaL ambikai bhairavi
shiva shiva shankari shakti mahEshvari tiruvaruL taruvAi dEvi
She is the powerful one (Sakti) - she is the one (avaLE) who creates (paDaippavaL), who sustains/protects (kAppavaL) and who destroys (azhippavaL). For those that seek (pugundAlE) her (avaLai) refuge (Saran) by asking (enRu) for their fears to be removed (abhayam), she (avaLE) will offer them assylum (aDaikkalam). Hail to thee (jaya jaya), the one who creates auspiciousness (SaMkari), the fair one (gaurI), the delightful one (manOhari), the one who granted (aLittavaL) us lives free of fear (abhayam), the mother-goddess (ambikai), the consort of bhairava/Siva (ambikai)! Oh auspicious (Siva Siva) consort of Sankara (Sankari), the powerful (Sakti) and supreme goddess (mahESvari), please grant (taruvAi) (us) your divine grace (tiruvaruL).

karuNai gangai kaNNanin tangai kaDaikkaN tirandAl pOdum
varugira yOgam vaLar pirai Aghum aruL mazhai pozhivAL nALum
nIla nirattODu jnAlam aLandavaL kALi enat-tirushUlam eDuttavaL
bhaktarkkellAm pAdai vaghuttavaL nAmam shonnAl nanmai tarubavaL
With compassion (karuNai) that flows like the ganges (gangai), the sister (tangai) of vishNu/kRshNa (kaNNanin), it is enough (pOdum) if you just open (tirandAL) (and look at us) from the corner of your eyes (kaDaikkaN). If that happens, the good fortune (yOgam) that is bound to come our way (varugira) will wax (Agum) like the growing (vaLar) crescent moon (pirai), and she will shower (pozhivAL) torrents (mazhai) of grace (aruL) daily (nALum). She is the one who measured (aLandavaL) the world (jnyAlam), and wielded (eDuttavaL) the trident (triSUlam) as kALI, the emerald (nIla)-hued (nirattODu) one. She has set/described (vaguttavaL) the path (pAdai) for all (ellAm) her devotees (bhaktarukku), she will grant (tarubavaL) prosperity (nanmai) if we chant (SonnAl) (her) name (nAmam).
