Kanna   Yezhundhirum pillaai,

Kalai  kadiravan udayamaakindraan,

Kanai  kadalmuzhu mathi munaya  pogiraan,

Neela  ponnudai  tharitha  munnavan,

Neraaga parikasam pesugiraan

Oh Krishna  , please  get up boy,

The morning   sun is   going to rise up,

The full moon is going   to dip in the sea,

The elder one   who wears  the blue silk,

For some time    has  been teasing you

Anupallavi

UNNaramudha  mozhiyaane, ungal,

Ullam kollum   neela   vizhiyaane,

Thannar   churunda  kuzhalaane-padham

Thathikkum thandai  kazhalaane  ,

Thayiridai  kadainthida, vennayumaachu,

Thanthai  unai kaana  vanthidallachu,

Yiru yoru Ammaa yendru  yennennavo pechu,

Yeththethu vara  pidivadhamachu.

Oh lord who  talks like  the  nectar  which we do not eat ,

Oh lord with blue eyes  which attracts you eyes.

Oh Lord with  a natural    curled hair

The curd has been churned, butter has been produced,

Your   father has  arrived  to come   to see  you,

Wai wait, What  is this mumbling of Mother, mother

Hey hey  , why you are being increasingly  adamanyt

Charanam

1,Thoonginavan kaal yenna  thalam podumaamo,

Thullu vizhi moodinaal punnagai  varalamo

Thengina vennayai  anna  thinna vidalamo

Jenma nakshatram unakku  chethi  theriyumo?

Will the legs  of one who sleeps  keep beat,

With your moving eyes closed  , how  come this smile

Should you allow elder brother  to eat remaining  butter,

It is your   birth star today. Do you know thenews

Thedinaalum   kaanariya garga   muni vantaar,

Yen selvan , yenge, yenge yendu kettu  ingu nindraar,

Koti   thavam cheithalum kandariyaa  naradharum , un,

Kuru  nagai kandu, pada  veenai meetti nindraar

In spite of search, difficult to see sage Garga came here,

Asking , where is , where is my boy , he stood there,

The Narada who cannot be seen inspite of  crore penances,

Seeing    your  soft golden smile, Started playing Veena   and stood there.

Kazhuthile yethadaa putham puthu maalai,

Kaadhil  yaarantha  penninathu  olai,

Vizhikkum mun mai  kanuthe, yarudaya  kai velai

Vesham podhumadaa  , yezhunthiradaa  , vidinthathu kaalai

Hey boy how come   the very new necklace in your neck,

Hey  which  girl’s palm leaf   ear  stud   are you putting,

Even before you wake ,I see kajal, it is done by home

Stop the pretence, please get up , it is already morning
