Thought I might just post out an english text of Sriranga Gadyam
with the english tranliteration replicated from a very beautiful 
book written by Dr. VV Ramanujam, the original sanskrit commentary
is by Peria Acchan Pillai. This ia just the first part the rest will
follow.

It is probably already known that it is a real outburst of Ramanuja
charya on seeing the divine couple together on the paNguni uttiram day.
Correct me if I am wrong I think that is the only day by tradition
that Ranganayaki thayar is in the royal court in utsavam with the lord
on all other days it is just the Lord with his two consorts, she is
supposed to be the 'padi thanda patthini' on all other occasions. We
can even see the 'anji kizhu padi vAsal' at the temple today where 
thayar would just rest her fingers and watch the Lord pass by for utsavams.
Probably we noe can understand why Ramanujacharya felt specially enthrilled
on that day to bring out the three gadyams.

The tranlation of the above stanza goes as follows :

Let me be accepted in the eternal and devoted service of 
the faultless, complete in all respects -Lord who holds
sway over the nature, existence and activity of the three 
varieties  of the conscious (chEtana) and the non-conscious
(achEtana), who is not touched by the five varieties of miseries
and the resultant virtuous and sinful actions: who is the ocean 
of naturally fitting hoardes of auspicious qualities: who is 
the supreme Brahman and Purushottama; who reclines on the serpent
bed in Srirangam; my master who is complete.

I, who have clearly understood myself to be ever subject to Your
command; I who haev tasted the sweetness of ever being in Your
service; I who have only Yourself as the subject-matter for
my knowledge and devotion; I who have experienced You constantly
without interruption; eager and anxious to be of immense and
commendable service at all times and under all circumstances 
to You; with this eagerness generated by the pleasure of my
experience of Yourself let me, the very personification of desire
be of service, be accepted eternally for such service.
