Bhajans actually does not belong to Srivaishnava tradition but belongs to Vaishnavite traditions of ISKCON and Suddha Advaita.

You can look for any iskcon site if you are particular about bajans.

On the contrary, Srivaishnavites believe in stotras which are more philosophical and carries messages inline with the tradition than rythm. This can be downloaded from www.prapatti.com (http://www.prapatti.com)

Please note that I already know that site.But there aren't english translations in it.
Will Lord Vishnu be pleased even if I don't know the meaning of a stotra?

Simple analogy.

I do not know Italian. But if someone gives a statement in Italian and I give it you, will you be pleased?

Obviously, but it carries more weight when you know the meanings. When you read the devotional songs knowing the meanings, you get more relegeous fervour. If we dont know the meanings only the mouth will be reading, but mind wont get involved. That is why saints composed hymns in vernacular languages too.:)

But even if you do not know the meanings, it still shows the commiment on your part - and it cant go waste isn't it?
