Meni nekkuruga   vinthai kondu  mutham tharuga yendru vanthanaye.

English translation

Pallavi

This would be for me one million billion,

Oh My life Krishna, Like a baby moon, after  smiling ,

If you give me a kiss  after  coming in front of me,

That is to me one million billion, one billion, one billion.

Anupallavi

After doing the lisping baby talk,

After playing with a calves willfully,

Generally with a body  with mud which you picked up,

Like a flower if you come and give me a kiss,

That to me is a million billion.

Charanam

1.Your mouth is smelling of butter   and 

It also   has  the scent of mud mixed with it,

Oh pure one , Your body is very heavy  ,

But I do not feel it , and the memory of that   is sweet.

2.Oh pure gem who is an emerald  who becomes my friend with thought removing sorrow,

Did you not become my word  which made me think where  your shifting glances went,

Did you not  become joyous by playing flute to the cow which came to graze,

And did you not come  magically with my body melting and told me “Give me a kiss.”
