English translation

Pallavi

Oh friend what shall I tell,

Oh friend , please tell me your thoughts,

The brat of Yadhu clan  who fills all places,

When he stood here and made mischief    with you.

Anupallavi

Oh swan like girl, what he does is a magical trick,

If you chide him , we will go in to bad times,

If we think that   he is a little   baby,

What he does, bad, bads, bad , great dishevelment

Charanam

Once we see  its mischief ,

We loose all our hearts to him,

I become truly jealous on,

The good lady    Yasoda,

But if I see his  stealking glances,

Honey and milk becomes bitter , but once,

I know that I have lost my mind ,

Bad, bad, bad  his mischief  goes beyond limit.
