English translation

 

Pallavi

Once  he robbed  all my mind by playing on the flute ,

Oh lady companion,   What  dissatisfaction   can I ever have

(kuzhaloodhi)(Playing the flute)

 

Charanam

1.With a very pretty peacock dancing  and  with  a creeper  moving slowly in the breeze ,

Becoming very happy , In the moon light  by  the  song of birds, which forget themselves,

 Me moving and dancing and running  with desire to find out his welfare  and wanting to occupy  his mind,

With  my one leg playing Thagu , migu  and dancing to the note  of Thakida dhim,

With cows and calves standing and encircling  that god who has a face like an open flower ,

When he played   the flute with great tenderness.

 

 

2.Krishna    with the fish shaped ear studs shaking    With the crown glittering suiting to that

With great beauty  , with  the shining feather waving in the breeze
