Simple Translation
1485. When you become old,
women with sharp sword-like eyes
who once praised you saying, “You are my Cupid!”
will say, “Listen, he is an old man who coughs up phlegm
but he still longs for women. ”
Before that happens, O heart, rise,
we will go and worship him
in Naraiyur where sacrifices and festivals
are celebrated on the streets every day and never stop.
