English translation

Pallavi

Go away silently, you tell that my son,
Has done mischief in your homes and,
You are waving and waving your hands,
You do not have any work, go away silently.

Anupallavi

My son who is very pretty and of the blue lotus colour,
Has never gone away from me even for an instant since morning,
You have come and told me with description and action,
For your gossiping was my son the only victim,
You do not have any work, go away silently

Charanam

1. This lady is of a very shy type,
And thought that the king’s house was hers,
And wandered here and there inside,
And she told with simile that he kissed her,
And told it to the entire town and says, she is shy.

2.Telling that she physically caught and brought him,
This mischievous one talked clearly,
I really caught him , she told with her eyes showing emotion,
And she was blinking because she had tied her fearsome son.

3.If a child cries , you tell Krishna pinched him,
If an Uri falls , you tell Krishna threw it down,
If butter is not visible , you say Krishna robed it,
Is there no limit to your imaginative lies,
Did you not get any one else to blame?
