Gist
O Emblellishment of the heart of this tyAgarAja!
While I ever cry out to behold Your mirror-like face, there is none to console looking at me.
Aren’t You the God who knows the bent of my mind which has absolutely no demands either in this World or for Heaven? there is none other than You to console me.

Word-by-word Meaning

P There is none (vAru lEru) to console (vaddanE) (literally say don’t) me.

A While I (nEnu) ever (anayamu) cry out (aGgalArcitE) (literally lament) (nEnanayamaGgalArcitE) to behold (jUDa) Your mirror-like (addampu) face (mOmunu),
there is none to console looking (jUci) at me.

C Aren’t (sumI) You (nIvu) the God (daivamu) who knows (teliyu) the bent (dAri) (literally manner) of my (nA) mind (manasu) which has absolutely no (koJcemaina) (literally even a little) demands (kOrikalu) either in this World (ilalO) (kOrikalilalO) or for Heaven (divilO) (literally in Heaven)?
O Emblellishment (bhUSaNa) of the heart (hRt) (hRdbhUSaNa) of this tyAgarAja!
there is none other than (vinA) You (ninu) to console me.

Notes -
P – vaddanE (vaddu+anE) – This is colloquial usage. A mother comforts her crying child telling ‘vaddu vaddu’ (don’t don’t).
