Meaning:

pallavi

ayya - O Lord!
enna kAraNattirkku ? - Why, for what reason,
innam iruppadu - is there still
vayiram - enmity
unran nenjilE - in your heart?

Note: Vayiram can also mean vajram, or diamond, so the question could be taken as a pun based on the diamond pendant worn by the Lord on his chest.
