Pallavi
Vandadum cholai thanile, kandu yenathu
ullam kondan sakhiye
Anupallavi
Kontal polum vannamudayan ,
Gokula thandha balan avano,
Charanam
Pada thamaigal nondhida paar thanil ,
Yenai thedi vandavan , Madhavam Mathurai maindan,
Maraigal paravum maayan avano?
English translation
Pallavi
Oh friend, in the garden where bees dance,
He saw me and stole my heart.
Anupallavi
Is he the boy given by Gokula,
Having the colour of the cloud?
Charanam
He came in search of me in this world,
In spite of pain to his lotus like feet,
Is he Madhava the son of Mathura?
Is he the enchanter praised by Vedas?
Thank you
