Oru tharam ithanoda vishamathai kandaalo,

Che che che vishamangal alavukku meeruthe.
English translation
Pallavi
Oh friend what shall I tell,
Oh friend , please tell me your thoughts,
The brat of Yadhu clan who fills all places,
When he stood here and made mischief with you.
Anupallavi
Oh swan like girl, what he does is a magical trick,
If you chide him , we will go in to bad times,
If we think that he is a little baby,
What he does, bad, bads, bad , great dishevelment
Charanam
Once we see its mischief ,
We loose all our hearts to him,
I become truly jealous on,
The good lady Yasoda,
But if I see his stealking glances,
Honey and milk becomes bitter , but once,
I know that I have lost my mind ,
Bad, bad, bad his mischief goes beyond limit.
