पिबरे राम रसम् रसने
पिबरे राम रसम्

दूरीकृत पातक  संसर्गम्
पूरित नानाविध फल वर्गम्

जनन मरण भय शोक  विदूरम्
सकल शास्त्र निगमागम सारम्

परिपालित सरसिज गर्भाण्डं 
परम पवित्री कृत पाषाण्डम्

शुद्ध परमहम्स आश्रम गीतं
शुक शौनक कौशिक मुख पीतम्

English translation

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

Drink the nectar of Rama, 

Oh connoisseur, Drink the nectar of Rama.

Which removes the society of sinners

And fills you up with the fruits of many types.

Which removes the fear and sorrow of death and birth,

And which is the essence of all holy books including Vedas.

Which is the egg that looks after Lord Brahma,

And which makes you extremely pure.

Which is the pure music of sages in their Ashram,

And which can be heard from the face of,

Sages like Shuka , Shaunaka and Kaushika.

चिन्नन चिरु किलिये कन्नम्मा.... / सुब्रमण्या भारती (१८८२-१९२१)

https://youtu.be/cFlPgUsIiFs

Mahakavi Subramanya Bharati (1882-1921), had immortalised the little

baby girl - Kannamma, through his classic poem "Chinnanchiru Kiliye Kannamma"

Vocalists : S.Aishwarya & S.Saundarya are the Great Grand Daughters

of Bharat Ratna M.S.Subbulakshmi and the Grand Daughters of

Dr Radha Viswanathan.

Chinnan Chiru Kiliye

This poem is one of the greatest tributes to being a parent.
It explores the various emotions that parents feel for their offspring. 
The child addressed here may be the god Krishna for whom the poet 
had special affinity, but the child here could very easily be any child. 
Original:
Chinnan chirukkiLiyE kaNNammA selvak-kaLanjiyamE

Translation:
O tiniest of tiny parrot Kannamma, o treasure trove of all wealth!
You have come into this world to rid me of all my sins and elevate me;
You are as sweet as the nectar of a tender fruit Kannama,
-You are a golden painting that has come alive.
When you come dancing before me, my sweet,
You urge me to pick and cuddle you in delight.

There is such peace in my heart Kannamma when you come running towards me-
My souls engulfs you every time you dance and scamper around me.
Oh! I swell with pride when I plant a kiss on your forehead-
My being shudders when people appreciate and praise you.

Kissing your cheeks accomplishes such great intoxication,
and each embrace grants such ecstasy.
But when a tear drops from your eye, my heart begins to bleed;
Are you not the pupil of my eye Kanamma?
And is my life not entirely thine?
