1.Vedha vedha roopini , Vedhanpaadu  Maamani,
Nadhamaana geethamum  nadukindra  nal mani,
Mathavathin   SAkthi nee  Maaran paadu  maalini,
Jothi jothiyaana nee Swarna kamakshi nee

Oh Goddess  who is form of Vedas, Who is a gem  about whom Lord  Brahma  sings,
Who is a good gem   who   wishes    the classical  music songs,
You are  the power of great  penance, You  are the Malini, who is sung by God of love,
You who is the  light of lights  is the  Golden Kamakshi.

2.Mangalathin nangaye , Mathiyanintha  mangaye
Pongukindra gangaye, ponniyaana  mangaye,
Yengumulla   sangai theera yennukindra  managaye,
Jothi jothiyaana nee Swarna kamakshi nee

Oh lady  of  auspiciousness , Oh lady who wears the moon,
Oh  ebbing   ganges  , Oh lady   who became  river Cauvery,
Oh Lady  who always thinks of ending sorrows   everywhere,
You who is the  light of lights  is the  Golden Kamakshi.

3.Inbamaana  vaazhvoli , iniya jnana   peoli,
Anbu aana ulloli, alakil jnana  peroli,
Thunbam ottum  thooya oli, thureeya jnana  peroli,
Jothi jothiyaana nee Swarna kamakshi nee

Oh sweet sound of life, Oh sweet  light  of wisdom,
Oh inner  light which is love  , Oh great light  of knowledge  in the mind,
Oh pure light  which drives away sorrow, Oh great light of thureeya,
You who is the  light of lights  is the  Golden Kamakshi.

4.Kalai malai  yiuravum nee , Kanchi thantha  vaazvu nee,
Velai   vendra vizhiyavan  vendi vantha  vaazhvu nee,
Solai  thantha  malarum nee, sokamatha  vaazhvu nee
Jothi jothiyaana nee Swarna kamakshi nee

You are  morning , evening and night  , you are the life  given by  Kanchipuram,
You  are the life   desired  and approached by  The God who won ov er time,
You are also   the flower given by garden  and life   without any  sorrow,
You who is the  light of lights  is the  Golden Kamakshi.

5.Karumbu villum yenthinaal , kavalai  theerkka aadinaal,
Virumbukindra mozhiyinaal , vinnai yaalu  vizhiyinaal,
Paravamaaki mukilumaaki payirumaana   vizhiyinaal,
Jothi jothiyaana nee Swarna kamakshi nee

She held the bow of sugarcane also, , she danced to remove our worries,
She  talks  the language we like, she is the one who rules  the sky,
She  became the season, cloud    as well as the crop,
You who is the  light of lights  is the  Golden Kamakshi.

6.Thanjai vantha thaayaval, thakaimai  thannai paaduvaar,
Panchamaththa  vaazhvodu , panpu mikka makavodu,
Manjalodu thilakamum  mana mikundha  malarodum,
Vinjukindra pugazhodum  vinnum mannum  aaluvaar.

She is  a lady who has  come to Thanjavur, people would sing her suitability,
And along with life without crop failure, along with a cultured  son,
Along with turmeric  , Thilaka  and along with   sweet smelling flowers,
With   ebbing    fame , they would rule   over earth   and heaven.
