Vegam varenam prabho-bhavaan yogamithiladhyakshanaay
Ekaantha chinthayode- njangalevarum kaathirikkunne
- Oottamaay kaattilaki kada-lettavum irambidumbol
Muttum bhayam theerkkuvaan mana-muttarikilethum vibho
- Ninneppirinjirippaan guro-njangalaal kazhikayille
Sooryane koodaathundo pakal-chandranenye raathri nanno?
- Gandham pirinjidukil-pookkalenthin upayogamaakum?
Chanthamakannidume njangal-kkanthike neeyillayennaal
- Haa ramya naarakame, madhu-puramaarnna ninphalangal
Paaramashichadiyaar thaapa-bhaaram akannidename-

And the waves of the sea roar,

To drive away every fear.

Lord, how can we live apart from You?
Can there be daylight without the sun,
Or a beautiful night without the moon?
So we cannot live without You.

When their fragrance is gone?
Our lives lose their beauty and meaning
When You are not near us.

O beautiful orange tree,
Whose fruits are filled with sweetness,
May we, Your humble servants,
Partake deeply of Your fruits
And be freed from the burdens of our suffering.
