The meaning behind the divine lyrics:

I have no problem Oh, Lord, Kanna!
I do not have anything to say, Kanna!
I have no complaint, Oh, Govindaa!

You are invisible, Oh, kanna!
Yet, I have no problem, Oh, Kanna!

When Lord Venkateswara is ready to give us what we want,
why do we desire anything, Oh, Kanna! Manivanna, malaiappa, Govindaa!

You are standing behind a screen, Oh Lord!
Only those scholars who are well-versed in the Vedas can ?see? you.
Yet, I have no problem; No problem even if I do not see You.
Oh Lord, You are standing on a hill.
I do not have any problem still.
You have incarnated yourself into a stone-form recognising the necessity during Kali Yuga.
You are permanently here in this Temple.
You do not refuse the request from any of your devotees.
You also have the merciful Goddess Lakshmi residing in Your chest.
So, what deficiency can I have?
I have no complaint, Kanna, manivanna, malaiappa, Govindaa, Govindaa!
Govindaa, Govindaa! Govindaa, Govindaa! Govindaa, Govindaa!
