Simple Translation
1478. When you grow old you won’t be able to see
and your eyes will be filled with mucus.
Girls with words as sweet as music may tell you,
“Walk slowly. You may fall. ”
Before that happens, O heart,
rise, we will go to Naraiyur and worship him
who is the sky, the mountains, the Vedās and the sacrifice.
