Gayathri Manthram and Rockfort Express Combination!!

First one:
My attempt!! Please try singing this in the monotonous ragam (hear this in audio shops near temples) of Gayathri manthram automatic chanting machine lady voice rhythm :) comments welcome!
------
Sreerangam selvadharku
rockfort express pidipadharkey
pathu manikey egmoreku
sendru viduven nanum indru

platform naanginiley
neendu nirkum vaalpaiyan
irupathu naalu coachudaney
thalayil or p 4 mugamey

patharaiku whistle adithu
mambalathil nindrapinney
tambaram pin chengalpattu
tindivanamum selvan avan

vizhupurathil naaL thandi
viruthachalathil thalai maatri
parpala stationil loop vaangi

kallakkudi palinganatham

ponmalaiyil seeraga
mainlainil pugundhidavey
nalla payanam mudindhidavey
tiruchchi junction vandhuduthey!!

Second one:

As an ode to the dp4 of 2637 when SR extended electrification to TPJ and the link broke -

What will be Thy fateth,
Yo Dippy? Thee hath to tell,
Silence is my answer See-eth Thee,
Lest behold I hold my mouth
Shut from this evening

There he passeth
With his lungs breathing, mouth shut
There he passeth, Thee My Majesty.

Third one:
For those familiar with Andal's Nachiyar thirumozhi, here is the new form!

Petrol naarumo, krishnaayil naarumo*
karunchaandhu pugaiyum mookukku veesumo*
podhigai osiththa deepeethreeyin karumpugaiyum naatramum*
virupputru kEtkirEn sol GOC deemerE*

* indicates line end.

Original version -

karuppooram narumo kamalappoo narumo*
thirupavaLa chevvaaidhaan thithithirukkumo*
maruppositha maadhavanthan vaaychuvaiyum naatramum*
viruputru kEtkirEn sol aazhi veNsangE*.
