From Chinmaya  mission  web site

“CHINMAYA SWARANJALI – The Music wing of Chinmaya Mission

Swara to Ishwara

The origin of music lies in the very beginning of life itself! In the vast orchestra of Mother Nature, our great sages laid the foundations of our classical music. Great poet-saints elevated our music to the highest realms of devotion and purity and entered the realm of Life divine through music.Bhajans and kirtans expressing divine glories have the capacity to make us pause and experience a few moments of serenity and peace. In fact, in Swami Chinmayananda’s words, “Music is an ornamentation of Silence” and should be used by seekers to experience the silence within, in our quest towards “Oneness” with our Divine Self.”

About Swaranjali

Chinmaya Swaranjali, the music wing of the Chinmaya Mission, was formed by a group of musicians inspired by Swami Tejomayananda. Chinmaya Swaranjali is dedicated towards exploring the magical and wonderful world of devotional and classical music and also to spreading this joy and devotion.” I have downloaded the lyrics of Swaranjali songs of 2019-20   from CMS   seattle   web site. I found that the songs chosen by them were  mostly Sanskrit but tamil., Malayalam, Hindi  and Marathi   songs   had also been included. I felt  that  if this great treasure  is  translated it would be  a great contribution.I am presenting my translation

My salutations to the letter “Na”, which is Shiva,

Who is the greatest Lord,
Who is forever,
Who is the cleanest,
And who wears the directions themselves as dress

And who has sun, moon and fire as his three eyes.

Yaksha swaroopaya jada dharaya,

Pinaka hasthathaya sanathanaya,

Divyaya devaaya digambaraya,

Tasmai yakaraya namashivaya., 5

My salutations to the letter “Ya”, which is Shiva,
Who takes the form of Yaksha,
Who has a tufted hair,
Who is armed with spear,
Who is forever filled with peace,
Who is godly,
Who is the great God,
And who wears the directions themselves as dress.

Panchaksharamidham punyam,

Ya padeth Shiva sannidhou,

Shivaloka maapnothi,

Shive na saha modathe.

Those who read these holy five letters great,
In the temple of Shiva,.
Would go to the world of Shiva,
And be forever happy with Him.

Vaishnava  Janatho

Vaishnava Jana To, Tene Kahiye Je

Peed Paraayi Jaane Re,

Para Duhkhe Upakāra Kare To Ye

Mana Abhimāna Na Āne Re

Vaishnava Jana To, Tene Kahiye Je

Peed Paraayi Jaane Re

He and he alone is the man of God,
Who knows the pain and misery of others,
Who tries to help others in distress,
And who does not have pride in his mind.

Sakala Loka Mā Sahune Vande,

Nindā Na Kare Kenī Re,

Vāca Kācha Mana Niścala Rākhe,

Dhana Dhana Jananī Tenī Re

Vaishnava Jana To, Tene Kahiye Je

Peed Paraayi Jaane Re

He and he alone is the man of God,
Who respects and salutes all,
Who does not talk ill of others,
Who keeps his mind pure in words and action,
And whose mother is considered blessed by all. 

Sama-Drishthi Ne Trishnā Tyāgī,

Para-Strī Jene Māta Re,

Jihvā Thakī Asatya Na Bole,

Para-Dhana Nava Jhāle Hātha Re

Vaishnava Jana To, Tene Kahiye Je

Peed Paraayi Jaane Re

He and he alone is the man of God,
Who views everybody as equal,
Who considers other women as his mother,
Who never tells lies all his life,
And who never yearns for other’s wealth. 

Moha Māyā Vyāpe Nahi Jene,

Dridha-Vairāgya Jenā Manamā Re,

Rāma-Nāma Śhu Tālī Re Lāgī,

Sakala Tīratha Tenā Tanamā Re

Vaishnava Jana To, Tene Kahiye Je

Peed Paraayi Jaane Re

He and he alone is the man of God,
Who never has any attachments,
Who is strongly detached to worldly pleasures,
Who is addicted to remembering his God,
And in whose mind are all the holy places of the world. 

Vana-Lobhī Ne Kapata-Rahita Chhe,

Kāma Krodha Nivāryā Re,

Bhane Narasaiyo Tenu Darasana Karatā,

Kula Ekotera Tāryā Re

Vaishnava Jana To, Tene Kahiye Je

Peed Paraayi Jaane Re

.
He and he alone is the man of God,
Who has no greed and deceit in his mind,
Who has forsaken all pleasures and anger,
And whose sight is thirsted for by Narasi the poet,
For the entire family gets salvation on seeing him.

With friendship please serve,
And conquer all the hearts,
Please think that others are like you,
Please forsake war for ever,
Please forsake competition for ever,
Please forsake force to get,
Some one else’s property,
For mother earth is a wish giving animal,
And God our father is most merciful,
Restrain, donate and be kind,
To all the people of this world.
Let all the people, live with bliss,
Let all the people live with bliss,
Let all the people live with bliss.

Shanthi nilava vendum (Tamil)

Shanthi nilava vendum , ulagile,
Athma shakthi onga vendum

Gandhi mahathma kattalai adhuve,
Karunai orumai, kadir oli parvai

Kodumai cheythathor manam athu thirunda,
Nargunam athu pugattiduvom,
Madamai, acham aruppom,makkalin,
Masila nallozhukkam valarppom.

Dhidam tharum ahimsa yogi naam,
Tandai athmanandam perave ,
Kadamai maravom , avar kadan theerpom,
Kalakkamindri aram valappom endrum

Peace should prevail in this world,
The strength of the soul should increase.

This is the order of the great Gandhi,
Mercy, unity and clear sight

 To correct the mind that did evil,
We would teach them good character,
We would cut away foolishness and fear,
And nurture good stainless character of people.

We are practitioners of ahimsa which gives strength,
For our father (Gandhi) to get divine joy,
We would not forget our duty; we would repay his debts,
And always nurture dharma with out any fear.

New year song

Kshanam pratheekshanam ya navam navam

Thascha  sundaram  sacha thachaivam

Varsha nuthanam  they  shubham mudhaan,

Utharotharam bhavathu   sidhidham

Every second we are  waiting  for the  newer and newer year

It is pretty  and it is truly   sweet

The new year should  bring auspicious joy,

And lead to  more   and more attainment

Lead to attainment
