I need/want (vENDum) to witness/see/behold (kANa) the beauty (azhaginai) of the Ananda tANDavam that you (nI) dance (ADum) with a leg (kAlai) raised (tUkki ninRu) in (tanil) the golden (kanaka) hall/assembly (sabhai), oh Lord (ayyA), the compassionate one (karuNAkaranE)!
As the lady (nangai) umA (umai), overcoming her extreme (migavE) shyness (nANam), dances (ADa) along with you (iNaindu), and the sounds from nandi’s drum (mattaLam) resound (Onga) in multiple/many/all (nAnA) directions (disai engilum), and your face (mukham/mugam) is filled/suffused (tadumbavE) with the expressions/emotions (bhAvamum) pertaining to the the nine (nava) rasas.

The celestial beings (vAnavar) praise (pArATTi) your dance (ADalai), worship you (vaNangiyE), and seek (tEDa) boons (varam), even as the gushing (vaLar migu) gangA (gangai) in (tanil) your heavily matted locks (pAr SaDai) spills a little (vazhiya), and the crescent moon (vaLarmatiyum) shines (tigazhndiDavE).
Even (eninum) if your form (vaDivE) is that of the silent (mOna) preceptor (guru) [1] who grants (aruLum) knowledge (jnAnam) you prevent delay (tAmadam) [2] by showering (purindu) compassion (dayai) and granting (tandiDa) your grace (aruL) in addition (uDan), through your dance (naTanam), holding (EndiyE) a deer (mAn) and a battle-axe (mazhu) in your hands, that captivates (kavar) the mind/heart (manam)!

Oh Lord (ayyan) who wears (pUNda) snakes (aravu), I (nAn) have yearned/languished (EnginEn), constantly thinking (eNNi eNNi) of your (undan) beauty (azhaginai) day (pagalum) and night (iravum).
Even as the skies (viNNum) quake (adira) and the universe (aNDamum) quivers (asaiya) when the drum (Damarukam) that you hold (Endiya) in your (un) hand (karam adil) makes sounds such as (enRu) ta ka ta jham and ta ka ta Nam, and anklets (taNDai, Sadangaiyum) [3] on your feet (pAdam) move (ADa) and make tinkling noises (kiNkiNi), and the raging (pongum) and burning (erindiDum) ball of fire (kanal) makes your other (maru) hand (karam) glow (taga taga venRu), and the sound (nAdam) from the dundubi resounds (adirdiDavE) to mnemonic syllables such as (yena) tOm, tOm, and tA, and the sages (muni) patanjali and vyAghrapAdar worship (paNindu) and praise you (vAzhtiDavE), (I need/want to see/behold) your unique/precious (arum) dance (tANDavam tanai).

Oh lord of golden hall/assembly (kanaka sabhApatiyE) in cidambaram (tillai), your (un) flower (malarE)-like feet (pada) are my only refuge (gatiyE)!

As your burnished locks (SenSadai) glitter (minna), your devotees (aDiyAr) sing (pADa) music (isai) that resounds everywhere (engum) and melts (urugiDa) the heart (nenjam) while seeking refuge (tanjam tandem enRE) in the five (panca) assemblies/halls (sabhai) [4], and as the tiger (puli) skin garments (uDai) sway (ADa), and as literature (iyal) and music (isai) unite (kUDa), (Oh lord of the golden assembly) who dances (ADum) pleasingly (iniduDan) (your flower-like feet are my only refuge)!

The lord (ANDavan) who grants (tarum) his grace (aruL) in a wondrous (adisayamAga), extremely (ati) blissful (sukhamAgavum), and nectarine (amudamAgavum) manner, who became (Agi) water (nIrum), earth (nilamum), fire (neruppum), wind (kATRum), and the skies (vAnum) [5], who doesn’t exist (nillAdu) anywhere (engum), yet is omnipresent (engum niRaindu), who made (Akki) the skin (tOlai) of a tiger (puli) into his garments (uDai), as his earring (sevittODu) sways to and fro (kuzhaindADa)! Oh Lord (nAthan) who dances (naTam ADum) tirelessly (saLikkAmal), you (nI) have become (Agi) my mother (tAyum) and my (endan) father (tandaiyum), and everything (yAdumAna) in this world (ulagil), I desire (vENDum) to witness (kANa) your sophisticated (nAgarIgamAna) dance (ADal), Oh lord (ayyA)!

FOOTNOTES
[1] as the universal guru, Siva, as dakshiNAmUrti preserves silence (maunam), and communicates purely through gestures – it is believed that the rich repertoire of hasta mudras in Indian classical dance comes from this
[2] I wonder if a word is missing – i.e., seyyAmal
[3] taNDai is a hollow anklet, while sadangai (salangai) is one with bells on it
[4] the five temples where the five sabhais where Siva (as naTarAja/ADavallAn/kUttan) is supposed to be dancing in are as follows:
tillai/cidambaram: sivakAmasundari-naTarAjar temple
The Golden Hall - pon ambalam/kanaka sabha

Madurai: mInAkshi-sundarESvarar temple
The Silver Hall - veLLi ambalam/rajata sabha (where the lord dances with his left foot plated and right one raised - kAl mAri ADiya sabhESar)

vaTa-araNyESvaram/tiruvAlankADU: bhramara alakAmbikA-vaTAraNyESvarar temple
The Gem-studded Hall - rattina ambalam/ratna sabha

tirunelveli: kAntimati-nellaiappar temple
The Copper Hall - tamira ambalam/tAmra sabha

The Hall of Pictures - cittira ambalam/citra sabha
kuTRAlam: kuzhalvAimozhi ammai-kuTRalanAthar temple

[5] the five elements (panca bhUtam) – Siva creates them, and becomes part of them as well – the five temples where Siva is worshipped in the form of these elements are as follows:
Earth – prithvI sthalam: kAncIpuram – EkAmranAthar/EkAmbarESvarar*

Fire – agni sthalam: tiruvaNNAmalai – apitakucAmbA/uNNAmulai samEta aruNAcalanAthar/aNNAmalai

Wind – vAyu sthalam: kALahasti – gnyAna prasUnAmbikA samEta kALahastISvarar

Water – appu sthalam: tiruvAnaikAval – akhilANDESvari samEta jambunAthar

Ether – AkASa sthalam: tillai/cidambaram – SivakAmasundari samEta kanakasabhApati

*Unique among the temples that there is no santum sanctorum (sannidhi) for pArvati in this temple - the lord is an single as the mango!
