Pallavi

 

Please come Krishna, Please come Krishna,

Come Lord Krishna, please come,

Wearing thin anklets with bells tied in it.

 

Anupallavi

 

Father of god of love, please come fast,

God who sits on a lotus, please come,

Greatly valorous Lord Shiva, please come,

Oh Lord who has a pretty mien, please come,

Please come Krishna, Please come Lord Krishna

.

Charanam

 

I would give milk and butter in your hands,

I would speedily give things to eat hiding them,

Oh baby, without doing your tricks, please come,

Oh Child, oh my father Purandara vittala,

Please come Krishna, Please come Krishna, Lord Krishna please come.
