Pallavi
Since you are the wish giving cow , please do not leave me out

Anupallavi
When I am leaving my body , come personally ,
Show me the temple of Chidambaram,
And do not leave me, who am following a good path

Charanam
Your greatness has no end or beginning.
And who can know you and sing your praises,
And have we not heard that this Chidambaram,
Is the light which even the great Vedas have not seen,
And Oh Lord , to those who have come believing in ,
Your lotus like feet , cut off their attachments,
And Oh Nataraja, you who have with love helped the poet Gopalakrishnan,
Please do not leave me out.
