ENCHANTING LOVE


                                     

                                                        VINDHAI KIRISTESU RAJA


Vindhai Kiristesu Raja
Wondrous King Christ
Undan siluvai en menmai-2
Thy cross is all my glory

Sundaram migum endap poovil-2
In this lovely pleasuring world of delights
Endha menmaigal enakkirupeenum
Though worldly glory may await me

Chorus: (Vindhai Kiristesu...)

Thiranda aasthi, uyartha kalvi
Wealth and riches and lofty education
Selvaakugal miga verupeenum
I renouce all such vanity
Kurusai nokki paarka enakku 
On looking at thy crux
Kuriya perumaigal yaavum arpame
I count all my possessions as worthless

Um kurusai aasthikellam
Thy cross is the flood of all wealth
Ootram vatra jeeva nadhiyam
Ceaseless, life-giving sea
Thunga ratha ootril moozhgi
I submerge in thy blameless blood
Thooymai adaindhe menmai aaginaen
And am made pure once again

Senni, vila, kai, kanindru
Thy head, sides, hand and feet
Sindhutho! Thuyarodanbu
Bleed away thine grieving love
Manna, idai pondra kaatchi
 Lord, such a sight
Ennalilume engum kaanen
Ne'er have I seen all my life

Inda vindhai anbukeedai
To this wondrous, boundless love
Enna kaanikkai eendiduven
What can I offer in return
Enda arum porulidagum
Any precious worth won't suffice
Ennai mutrilum umakkalikindren 
So I give myself to thee
