English tranlation of the Tamil song: Kurai Onrum Illai - I don't have any regrets or I have no unfulfilled desires

No regrets have I My lord, None. Lord of the Written Word, My light, my sight, My very eyes No regrets, None.

 

Though you stand Where I behold you not My light, my very eyes, Protector of all earthlings I know you sustain me Lord of the Venkata Hill so pure

 

You meet my hunger, my thirst My hope, my prayer You keep me from harm, Lord of the Sparkling Gems, I need naught else Father of the Seven Hills, Naught else.

* * *

You stand — do you not? — Veiled by a screen Only the learned can part For they are the learned Which I am not But no, no regrets have I.

Crowning this hill

You stand as rock Giver of Boons Immutable God Father to these hills No regrets have I Govinda !

* * *

In this benighted Age of ours Lord — The worst of all the Four — You have entered The sanctum A shaft of granite Where though I see you not No regrets have I.

 

Boulder of strength With the Ocean, Heaving on your breast, Of the purest compassion —

My Mother,

My very own, who grants Anything I ask of her Can I possibly have regrets? The two of you, I know,

Stand there for me Eternally

No regrets have I my Govinda None, none whatsoever Govinda! Govinda! Govinda! Govinda!
