Re: Meaning of KI krithi - Tharuve ninnarul
Sandeep - here you go.
Sri KI is a very 'deep' composer! You seem to be fascinated by his compositions lately!!
I hope others will step in if I have made some mistakes.
pallavi
taruvE ninnaruL tiruvE tandaruL vEl kara
Oh divine being (tiruvE) [1], a wish-granting tree (taruvE) that carries a spear (vEl) in his hand (kara)! Please bless me (aruL) by granting/showering (tandu) your (nin) benevolence/mercy (aruL)!
anupallavi
karuvE tanai aravE en uravE shengamalaiyODu kalaimaghalaruLum uruvE unai maravEnE oN (taruvE…)
Oh essence of life (karuvE) [2],with a form (uruvE) [3] that is blessed (aruLum) by sarasvati (kalaimagaLum) along with (ODu) lakshmI (Senkamalai), I will not forget (maravEnE) you (unai) so that all my (en) earthly ties and bonds (uravE tanai) are cut (aravE), brilliant (oN) (Oh wish granting tree…)!
caraNam
kandA nI tanda shentamizh ishai enginumE mundavashai shinda cintA vandaruL
sugandha pala candam adai kavi kunjaradAsan tanadu cintai nOi ventaravE sadguruvE taN (taruvE…)
murugA (kandA),even as the beautiful (Sen) tamizh iSai that you’ve (nI) given (tanda) removes/scatters (Sinda) blame (vacai) not just from this life, but from previous births (muntai) as well, you please come (vandu) and bless (aruL) me, Oh gem (cintA) [4], with several (pala) fragrant (sugandha) verses (candam adai), so that the anxieties (tanadu cindai) and diseases (nOi) of the composer, the devotee (dAsan) of the poet (kavi), kunjara bhArati may be overcome (venravaE), oh wonderful preceptor (sadguruvE), cool (taN),( wish-granting tree…)
FOOTNOTES
[1] While taru means a tree, I think the composer is referring to murugA as the kalpataru
[2] While karu means a fetus or conceptus, I think the composer is describing murugA as the essence of life
[3] I think the second one in the AP is not uravE, but uruvE
[4] I have translated cintA contextually to mean the cintAmaNi, a gem – as if the composer were referring to murugA as a gem
