Sandeep - I have heard some words differently - please note the ones in red:
pallavi
kanjam konjum shen caraN nin tanjam tanjam tanjam shaNmukham nin
Oh six-faced one (shaNmukham/shaNmugam), I seek refuge (tanjam) in the shelter (tanjam) offered by your (nin) beautiful/red (Sen) feet (caraN) [1] that are caressed (konjum) [2] by lotuses (kanjam)!

anupallavi
panjam kali parandODavum nenjam ninaindunai nADavum
(Oh six-faced one, I seek refuge in the shelter offered by your beautiful feet) so that scarcity (panjam) and calamity (kali) may fly away (parandODavum), and that (my) heart (nenam), filled with thoughts (ninaindu) you, may seek (nADavum) you (unai)!

caraNam
guNAkara kOTi sUryakAnta kumAra murugA guruparAnanda
ghana karuNAkara kAnta kavi kunjaravara dAsa hrtkanda
Oh forever-youthful one (kumAra) of sterling character (guNAkara) who is as brilliant (kAnta) as countless (kOTi = crore) suns (sUrya), handsome one (murugA), delightful (Ananda) preceptor (guru) par excellence! One who is a great (ghana) repository of compassion (karuNAkara), my beloved (kAnta), one who delights the heart (hRtkanda) of the composer who is the devotee (dAsa) of the poet (kavi) kunjara bhArati (kunjaravara dAsa).

FOOTNOTES
[1] caraN and SaraN in tamizh will be written similarly
[2] I have heard this word as konjum, and not konjam

Oops - our posts crossed, manikan7
Sandeep - a recording will be very welcome!

[deepsands02]

Thanks a lot. Will try to find a recording. Wanted the translation to use the lyrics for something else

[rshankar]

Wanted the translation to use the lyrics for something else

Now, my curiosity has been piqued to a feverish pitch! Can you share?

[mahavishnu]

I am curious too. Is it for a viruttam?

[arasi]

Sandeep,
Something else?

no comprende...

Hi sorry just seeing all your replies... Just meant I don't have a recording of it sung in it's original tune.

Was going to re-tune it for something else but have abandoned that idea for now! Maybe it will be revisited at some time in the future .
