pallavi

My (en) lord (ayyanE)! Does your (nin) heart (cittam) not melt (irangAvillaiyO)?

anupallavi

Supreme Being of sterling worth (uttamanE)! Am I (nAn) not (allavO) your (unadu) slave (aDimai)? Does your heart not melt in compassion towards (mIdu) me (en), even after I (nAn) have enumerated (eDuttu uraikkum) every single/all (attanaiyO) of my complaints?

caraNam

If you, my (en) Lord (ayyanE) do not show compassion (irangAviDil) towards me even after appreciating (pArttum) the distress (tuyaram) experienced (paDum) by this sinner (pAvi), please let me know/tell me (kUvum) who (yAr), my Lord (aiyanE), will serve as a (oru) companion (tuNai) to my lost soul (Avikku)? Are you with holding your compassion because of/as a result of (payanO) the littany of my sins (tIvinaiyin), or, are the gods (deiva) testing me (kuTramA/kuRRamA) [1]? How can you not be compassionate to me even after hearing (kETTum) my piteous/pitiable (kU) voice (kural) as I cry out in despair (kUvi kadarum) (kUvi) to you?

FOOTNOTE
[1] I have interpretted 'deiva kuRRam' as a a 'divine test of endurance' - please correct me if I am wrong.

wow, I've never seen anyone reply sooo quickly! I know these songs, but i like to know the lyrics and esp. the meaning because I write it down in my book. I learnt most of these songs, from my guru Palghat T R Rajaram. Thanks sooo much, Lakshman, arasi, and rshankar.

Thanks Lakshmanji. I am happy that I could contribute with you, though a little from my side.

V_A,

I have edited my post based on the corrections you have made to the caraNam.

Would it not be "bhAvi padum tuyarrum" instead of "pAvi padum tuyarrum"?

?
it is 'pAvi paDum tuyaram'

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 24 Jan 2009, 07:50

bhAvi?? What would that mean?

V_ANNASAMY · Post by **V_ANNASAMY** » 27 Jan 2009, 10:08

pAvi paDum tuyarm - the sufferer due to some sins (pAvi comes out of pAvam - sinner and the sin)

bhAvi would mean 'to pretend' which does not fit here.
