Lyrics of Kandaen Kandaen Kandaen Seethaiyai

Kandaen kandaen kandaen seethaiyai
Kandaen Raghava naan     (kanden)

Andarum kaanaatha lanka puriyil
Aravindha vedhavai tharavantha maathaavai  (kanden)

Panikala varijam pola niram poosi
pagaloru yugamaaga kazhithaale prayasi
Ninaithangae raavanan annaal vara
che che nillada endru yesi
Thanithu than uyir thannai thanvida maharasi
saarum pothe naanum samayam ithevaasi
Ini thaamatham seiyal agathendridar pesi
rama rama rama rama endrethir pesi    (kanden)

Lyrics of Devi Sri Gomathi amba

Devi sri Gomathi amba
Sarvaloka rakshaki thaaye                (Devi sri...)

Sankarankovilil vaazhnthidum thaaye
Sankadam ellam theerthidu vaaye
Sankara narayananin priyee
Shanmuga vigna rajanin thaaye           (Devi sri...)

Thanga chilambugal kala kala vendrida
Thanga paavaadai pala pala vendriya
Sannithi engum bhakthargal kootamaai
Deviyin arulai perave varuvaar            (Devi sri...)

Malligai mullai chembangi roja
Maruvudan serntha maalai anintha
Mangala kaarini manjula bhashini
Bhaktha kadaksha veekshini amba      (Devi sri...)

Maduraiyil avale Meenakshi
Kanchiyil avale Kamakshi
Kasiyil avale Visalakshi
Nellaiyil avale Kanthimathi                   (Devi sri...)

Kaliyugam thannil unnai ninainthaal
Kaarunya mazhaiyai pozhindhidu vaaye
Pankaja lochani parvathi gowri
Sankari shambavi gomathi thaaye        (Devi sri...)

 

Lyrics of Koovi azhaithaal kural kodupan

Koovi azhaithaal kural kodupaan
param kundril aeri nindru Kumara endru
                                                     (Koovi...)

poovidazh malarntharul punnagai purivaan
punniyam seithoorku kannedhire therivaan
                                                     (Koovi...)

Deviyar iruvar meviya guhanai
thingalai anintha sankaran maganai
paavalar yaavarum paadiya vendhanai
ponmayil aeridum Shanmuga naadhanai
                                                    (Koovi...)

Lyrics of Chenthuril Nindradum kantha guha song

செந்தூரில் நின்றாடும் கந்தா குஹா

சிங்காரா வேலா சிவ ஷண்முகா

திருசெந்தூரில் நின்றாடும் கந்தா குஹா
கார்த்திகை குமரா கதிர்வேலவா
வயலூரவா வடிவேலவா (திருசெந்தூரில்)

குன்றாடும் குமரோனே கூர்வேலவா
உலகாளும் தேவா என்னை ஆளவா 
மாலவன் மருகோனே முருகோனே வா
மனமோகனா மயில்வாகனா
வள்ளி மனமோகனா புள்ளி மயில்வாகனா (திருசெந்தூரில்)

வேலோடு விளையாடும் வடிவேலவா
விரைந்தோடி வந்தென் வினை தீர்க்க வா
அருள் காட்ட உனக்கீடு இணை யாரப்பா
 பழநியப்பா வருவாயப்பா
 ஞான பழநியப்பா வருவாயப்பா (திருசெந்தூரில்)

Lyrics of Aasai mugam maranthu poche song

Aasaimugam maranthu poche, idhai yaaridam solven adi thozhi; 
Nesam marakavillai nenjam, enil ninaivu mugam marakalaamo; 
                                                                          (Aasaimugam..)

Kannil theriyuthoru thotram, athil Kannan azhagu muzhuthillai; 
Nannu mugavadivu kaanil, andha Nallamalar sirippai kaanom; 
                                                                         (Aasaimugam..)

Ooivu mozhidhalum illamal,avan Uravai ninaithirukum ullam
Vaayum uraipadhundu kandaai, andha Maayan pughazhinai eppodhum
                                                                         (Aasaimugam..)


Kangal purindhu vitta paavam, uyir Kannan uru marakalachu
Pengal inathil edhu polae, oru Pedhayai munbu kandathundo
                                                                         (Aasaimugam..)


Thenai maranthirukum vandum, oli Sirapai maranthu vitta poovum
Vaanai maranthirukum payirum, indha Vaiyam muzhuthum illai thozhi
                                                                        (Aasaimugam..)

Kannan mugam maranthuponal, intha Kangal irunthu payan undo; 
Vanna padamumillai kandaai, ini Vaazhum vazhi ennadi thozhi; 
                                                                          (Aasaimugam..)

Lyrics of Vishamakara kannan song
