English translation

Pallavi

Speak from a distance  , Krishna,

If a bitter fruit ripens, what is there for all at a distance

Anupallavi

Talk from a distance without coming near,

After tying all your mischief  and keeping it far away

Charanam

1.

I was  who was an innocent girl,

Fell at your feet the other day,

I did not your mind then ,but today,

I have found out all the truth.

2.

Without any shame   did you not come here ,

You forgot that  I am also necessary,

Did you not tell that you love me  and,

Did you not live like that all these days, Krishna.

3.

If you have one over Kalinga, do you think I will get confused,

If you have killed  Kamsa, do you think I will fall in love with you,

Do you think I will get attracted  by your growing fame,

Do not come here, do not see  me, Krishna.

4.

There are saffron marks  on your cheels,

Your eyes are red   and clouded,

IThere is tiresomeness in your very pretty body,

Do not talk gossip, do not throw words at me.
