Silayaay Piraviyundenkil Song from Thattakam – Lyrics in English with Translation

Shilayaay piraviyundenkil njaan shivaroopamaayene

Aa…Aa…

If I am born as a stone, may I take the form of Shiva

Shilayaay piraviyundenkil njaan shivaroopamaayene

Ilayaay piraviyundenkil koovalathilayaay thalirkkum njaan

If I am born as a stone, may I take the form of Shiva

If I am born as a leaf, may I sprout as bael leaf

Shilayaay piraviyundenkil njaan shivaroopamaayene

If I am born as a stone, may I take the form of Shiva

 

Kalayaay pirannuvenkil shivamouli chandrabimbamaayene

Chilambaay chilambumenkil thirunaaga kaalthalayaakum njaan

Panineerthulliyaayenkil thrippaada punyaahamaayene

If I have the birth of a scar, I may become the crescent moon on Shiva’s head.

If I jingle as an anklet, I may become the holy serpent at His feet.

If I am a drop of rosewater, I may become the sacred ablution of His holy feet

Shilayaay piraviyundenkil njaan shivaroopamaayene

If I take birth as a stone, may I embody the divine form of Shiva

 

Aksharappiraviyundenkilo shreerudra manthraaksharamaakum njaan

If I am born as a letter, may I become the sacred Rudra Mantra syllable

Aksharappiraviyundenkilo shreerudra manthraaksharamaakum njaan

If I am born as a letter, may I become the sacred Rudra Mantra syllable

Gojanmamenkilo nandikeshwaranaay thaandavathaalam muzhakkum

Punyaagni naalamaanenkil aviduthe aarathiyaay maarum

If I am born as a bull, I may resonate the rhythm of Nandi’s cosmic dance.

If I become the sacred fire, I may turn into the Aarathi offering of yours

Shilayaay piraviyundenkil njaan shivaroopamaayene

Ilayaay piraviyundenkil koovalathilayaay thalirkkum njaan

If I am born as a stone, may I take the form of Shiva

If I am born as a leaf, may I sprout as bael leaf

Shilayaay piraviyundenkil njaan shivaroopamaayene

If I am born as a stone, may I take the form of Shiva
