vAzhiya Sen tamizh:

This small poem will serve as an example of why this uncrowned emperor among poets was considered a reactionary poet by the British, and had to flee to Pondicherry!

P: Let the beautiful (Sen) tamizh language flourish (vAzhiya); let the good (nar) citizens of TN (tamizhar) flourish. And let this divine (tiru) and precious (maNi - gem) mother land (bhArata nADu) of ours flourish.
AP: Let the problems (innalgaL) that are torturing (varuttum) us (emai) today (inru) disappear (mAiga), and let good fortune (nanmai) approach us (vandu-eiduga) instead, so that virtuousness (aram) will reign (vaLarttiDuga) and anger (maRam) will be discouraged (maDivuruga).
C: Let the controlling power (aNmai) of the British (Ariya nATTinar - citizens of an Aryan/white nation) be broken (oDiyaTTum), and let the ferocious (SIriya) efforts to overthrow them be exemplary (Sirandu) and reach lofty heights (mik-kOnguga). Let our (nam) citizens (dEyattinar) and our country (nADorum) rise to greatness (uyarga). Salutations (vandE) to our mother-land (mAtaram)! Salutaions to our mothers (mAtaram)

A case of too much Aryan invasion theory? ;)

As far as Bharati is concered Ariya bhUmi is always used to refer to India (Example: Ariya bhUmiyil nAriyarum nara sUriyarum), or (Annai bayankari bhArata dEvi nal Ariya rANiyin vil)
He uses it in the sense of a noble land. Infact this construct and usage precedes the much hot button Arya-Dravidiya connotation that is seen in the last several decades.
Anyway the meaning is 'May the brave and excellent attempts made by the people of this noble land (Ariya nATTinar) succeed'.
ANmai + ODu + iyaRRum (iyaRRum - performed/acted upon not in the sense of 'write')
nADorum - nAL + thoRum (everyday)

Here it is:
pallavi-unai allAl- Except you
vErE gati illai ammA -there is no other refuge,Oh mother
ulagelAm Inra annai -the mother who gave birth to the whole world

A: enai Or vEDamiTTu- having given me a part
(u)laga arangil ADa viTTAi -you made me act in the world which is a stage
(there is anotheer version which is 'ulaga nAtaka arangil'-meaning is the same)
ennAl iniyADa muDiyAdu -I can no longer act(perform)
tiruvuLam irangi- having mercy in your heart
ADinadu pOdumenru OyvaLikka - to give me rest saying that 'you have have performed enough'
(there is no one other refuge, oh mother)

C: nIyE mInAkSi kAmAkSi nIlAyatAkSi ena pala peyaruDan enNgum niraindavaL -You are the one
named minAkshi, kAmAkshi and nIlAyadAkshi- and rresiding everywhere
en manak kOyililum ezhundaruLiya tAyE- oh mother,you are also residing in the temple of my heart tirumayilai vaLarum- the goddess who is in tirumayilai(mylapore)
(there is no other refuge except you, oh mother)

Ravi,
'eidiDudal'--also means to attain.
'maRam'--while it means anger too, the more apt meaning here would be evil, the opposite of 'aRam'.
