Can someone please provide a word-by-word translation of this Annamacharya song? The lyrics are as follows:

pallavi

ksheerAbdi kanyaku Sree mahA lakshmikini
neerajAlayakunu neerAjanam

caraNam 1

jalajAkshi mOmunaku jakkuva kucambulaku
nelakonna kappurapu neerAjanam
aLivENi turumunaku, hasta kamalambulaku
niluvu mANikyamula neerAjanam

caraNam 2

pagaTu Sree vENkaTESu paTTapu rANIyai
negaDu sati kaLalakunu neerAjanam
jagati alamElu manga tsakkadanamula kella
niguDu nija SObhanapu neerAjanam

... thanks!

alamElu manga- lakShmi's name in tirupati(mangApuram)
alamElumangA is a corruption of alarmElmangai - the tUya tamizh version of padmAvatI = alar = lotus + mEl = atop of + mangai = lady (lady who resides in a lotus = lakshmI aka padmAvatI) ....same meaning as alarmElvallI....
