Aalangudi Somu describes the cuckoo’s morning call and blooming buds. He shifts this imagery to a personal plea, asking to live “as a step, serving” Lord Vishnu. R. Rajalakshmi delivers this humble request, linking daily awakening with spiritual dedication.

Kuyil Koovi Thuyil EzhuppaWhen the cuckoo sings to awaken from sleep,
Kodi Arumbha Kann VizhikkaAnd the countless buds open their eyes,
Kathiravanin Varavu KanduSeeing the sun’s arrival,
Karavaiyinam MagizhndhadhammaThe cattle are delighted, oh mother.
MagizhndhadhammaThey are delighted, oh mother.
Chediyai Avan Vinaihal Theerkkum ThirumaneOh ‘Thirumaal’ (Lord Vishnu), who removes his karmic bonds,
Nediyane Vengadava Nin Koyil VasalileOh tall one, Oh ‘Venkateshwara’ (Lord of Tirumala), at your temple’s entrance,
Adiyarum Vanavarum Aram Payarum SoozhndhirukkaWhile devotees, celestials, and righteous people gather around,
Padiyai Kidandhadhu Nin Pani Seidhu VazhveneI’d wish to live as a step, serving you.
Nilamagal Madiyin MeedhuOn the lap of Mother Earth,
Nimmadhi Kulanthai VazhaMay the child of peace live,
Kalaimagal Padikkum PothuWhen the Goddess of learning is teaching,
Kanne Nee UrangalamooOh my dear, can you still sleep?
Kanne Nee UrangalamooOh my dear, can you still sleep?
Nithiraitthan Pothathoo Nithilame ThedayooIsn’t all that sleep enough, oh my ‘pearl’ (beloved one), won’t you seek?
Ikkaraiyil Un Panigal EthanaiyooOn this shore, your duties are countless.
Ezhuvai Nee Ezhuvai NeeRise up, you, rise up, you!
