kaLLam thavirnthu kalanthElOr embaavaai

Meaning 

The lasses(young women) have reached,
The place of prayer for Pavai,
Singing the fame of our Lord.
Who killed the ogre who came like a stork.
And who cut off the heads of the bad ogre, One by one.
The nevus (a mark in the form of a raised red patch) has risen in the morn,
The Jupiter has vanished from the sky,
The birds are making lot of sound,
Of beautiful one with wide eyes red as a flower.
Without taking bath by dipping
again and again in ice cold water,
Would you prefer to sleep.
Oh lass, On this holy day,
Do not stay aside, And come to bathe with us.

In the pond in the backyard of your house.

The lily in the ponds have opened,

The night flowers have closed,

The white toothed sages,

Who wear clothes as red as,

The powder of brick, Are going to their temples.

To sound the conch.

You who promised to wake us up, Please wake up,

Are you not ashamed, You chatter box,

Let us all sing about the lotus eyed one,

Who has a holy conch and disc in his hands,

“Come quickly, why is it different for you?”

“Have every one gone?” “Gone, think they have gone”

“Please wake up and sing,

Of he who killed the big elephant,

Of him who can remove enmity from enemies,

And of him who is the holy enchanter.

Meaning

Oh lady fine, who has entered the heaven,
Due to penance done in last birth,
Won’t you reply,please
Won’t you open the door,please
If we pray the God Narayana,
Having with him the scented garland,
Made of holy basil,
He would give us gifts, many,
He is the same who is holy in times ancient,
Sent Kumbhakarna to his death,
After beating him in the field of war.
Did that ogre give you his sleep,
Before he went off from here,
Oh lass who is very lazy,
Oh lass, who is like pretty jewels,
Wake up from your sleep, well,
And open the door.

Meaning

Oh daughter of the cattle baron,
Who milks herds of cows,
And wages war on enemies
And makes his enemies loose their strength,
Oh Golden tendril, Oh lass who has the mount of venus,
Like the hood of the snake, Wake up and come,
When your flock of friends,
Have come to your courtyard, And sing of Krishna,
Who has the colour of the cloud, Oh rich, rich lady,
How can you neither move nor talk, And lie in deep trance,

Meaning

Hey, sister of the rich one, who owned,

The mooing she buffalo with a calf,

Which took pity on the calf,

And gave out plenty,

Of milk to it through its udder,

And made his courtyard slushy with milk,

We are assembled in thine yard,

In the dripping fog, And sing about Him,

Who killed in anger the king of Southern Lanka,

And who is very dear one,

But open your mouth, you don’t..

At least wake up now,

Why this very deep slumber,

For people of all houses around,

Have already become alert
