In plain words
Āṇṭāḷ, to the cuckoo: Cuckoo who live in the grove of punnai, kurukkatti, ñāzhal and cerunti trees: because I longed for him, Mādhava [Lakṣmī's lord] of great and lasting fame, the mighty one with the jewelled crown, coloured like a great sapphire, is it just that I should lose my conch bangles? Stay there night and day, calling his names over and over, and call quickly, so that my coral-lipped one comes.
