Irumudiyum  thaangiyey  erumeli  shentru                         

Mela  thaalangal  udan  pettai  thulliduvom                         (Ayyappa    ……)       

Once the  son of Shiva who wears   the moon ,

Came  in this world as   the primeval God,

Carrying the two burdens, going to Erumeli,

We would dance in Pettai accompanied by music and drums

Katinamaam  karimalayay  sulbhamai  kadanthu

Punya  pampaa  nadhiyil  snaanamum  sheithu

Neelimalayum  shabari  peetavum  vanangi            

Nalla  pathinettu  padi  bhakthiyudan  paninthu                 (Ayyappa ……)

After safely crossing the forest covered  Karimala,

After taking bath in the sacred  Pampa river,

After saluting Neeli Malai  and Shabari Peeda ,

After  saluting with devotion the good eighteen steps.

Shabari  giri naathanin  sannidhiyil  shernthom

Neyyum  thenum  aadi  nimmathi  adainthom

Kaantha  malai  jyothiyai  kan kukira  kandom      

Vinnathira  sharanam  vili  muzhanguvathai  kettom         (Ayyappa………)

We reached    in front of the Lord of Sabari mountain,

And attained peace  by offering ghee  and honey,

Then by seeing the flame of Kanthamalai we gave enjoyment to the eyes,

And also shouting of “I surrender to you”, shaking the skies.

              I came carrying the Palli Kettu  crossing mountains and forests ,

              Oh son of  Madhava , I was  very anxious   to see  you.

            Ponnu  pathinettu  padi                                 thulli  thulli  naan  kadanthu

             Jumping and jumping  I crossed    the Golden eighteen steps and saw you,

             And seeing you in the golden temple  , I forgot myself,

             What wonder is there  in the top of Sabari mountain,

              On the first day of Makaram month, to see you , billions of eyes would be there.
