Pallavi

Aakka poruthavarku  , Aara  porukkamal,

Avasara padalamo –ithu thagumo?

 

Pallavi

When one waits for it to be prepared, should he become ,

Impatient   to see that  it becomes of less heat-Is it proper?

 

Anupallavi

Bhagyavathi , Devaki  tharum Balaa,

Pannarntha kuzhal oothum   Bala Gopala.

 

Anupallavi

Oh  child   who was   given by the lucky Devaki,

Oh  Cowherd boy gives pure music by playing the flute.

 

Charanam

mAthu puriyanainthu  vangi kadayum munne,

Vambu cheythaal   vennai vanthidumo?

Pannarntha  kuzhal oothum  kannan un peyar chonnal  ,

Vennai yenna thanai thirandidumo?

Kathum karavaikku yethanai chonnalum ,

Katti vennayaka karanthidumo?

Kana mayilin   mudi kattazhagan vandhaan ,

Kannan vandhan yendral   (vennai)  pongidimo  Kanna?

 

Charanam

Before the churner  is tied with rope and before  we start  churning ,

If you keep  on  showing mischief, would the  butter come out?

Suppose the name of  Krishna who plays  music on flute is told,

Would the butter get formed and come out of its own?

Would  in spite of  many advices , the shouting   cow,

Yield solid butter instead of milk?

Would the butter come out  if we tell to it   that  ,

The pretty one  who wears the feather  of forest has come ?
