Translation:
pallavi: While the yAdava prince (Krishna) is playing the flute in Brindaavana...

anupallavi: Radha and other Gopis serving you Madhusoodana, all the gods in the heaven crowding to look at you and the apsaras (nymphs) forgetting themselves (at the sight of you).
caraNam 1: (While you are) playing the notes with your flute and singing, trimoortis (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva) are rejoicing and Sages Tumburu & NArada are singing along.
caraNam 2: Krishna, with eyes like lotus petals, AdikEshava of kAginele, the supreme cowherd wanders slowly with cows and calves (while playing the flute)
