English Translation

Pallavi

Oh good  lad whose  has a as pretty body as  the God of love,

Oh Vasudeva who makes the heart of Vruja lasses   happy

Anupallavi

Oh lad   pa da  ni sa ni dha pa ma,

Oh God with lotus  like feet  ni sa ni dha pa ma ,

Oh God whose feet is like the red  lotus, ni  sa ni dha ma ga ma pa dha ni sa

Oh God who is victorious  over enemies of Radha, oh brother,

Oh darling of Radha , Oh Govinda  of Nanda gopa

Charanam

For    how long    will  I  sing,

In  the sweet song  of the  music of your flute ,

 takita dhim  kina thom  , ta kita  tadingina thom , like this how long will I dance ,

With proper steps  to the music of the son of Nanda gopa ,

And there I have to dance as per the wish   of my mother in  law   and my sister in law

And  this has  become   a great problem  , By taking steps.
