 It's a beautiful varnam, the first few lines here...too long to quote all...

Sami ye allaituvadi, sakhi ye endan -
O sakhi, please bring Him (Lord Sundareswarar of Madurai) to me

Samanya durai alladi, sakhi ye endan -
O friend, my Lord is no ordinary hero

Bhoomi pugal Sri Madura Puri Sundareswararanai -

Famed on earth, Madurai where Lord Sundareswarar resides

Kamitha thangal thandu, Kalavi seyvatharku samayame -

To immerse in the everlasting happiness with Him
