English translation

 

Pallavi

 

He danced with joy, in a very stylish manner,

In the Golden stage

 

Anupallavi

 

As assured to great sages in the north Kailasa, without fail,

He danced in Chidambaram in the month of Thai,

In the star poosam and in the day time.

 

Charanam

 

He danced with head of Adhi sesha rocking,

With the eight directions trembling,

With earth shaking, with drops of Ganges coming out,

With Gopalakrishna singing with love,

With hair shaking, with snake moving its hood,

With sound coming out of that,

And making sounds like,

Tham , tham and Thom thom.
