By Ashok Madhav
Translated by P. R. Ramachander

Raga Sri Ranjini
Talam Aadhi

Pallavi

Nee vara cholla mattaya-saki
Neela varna kannanai, viraindu

Anupallavi

Aaval aara en kannkal kulira
Avanai kaanpadu eppo-saki

Charanam

Vindai cheyum avan Govindan
Paangiyarudan aadum Balakrishnan
Brundavanam tanil mei marandu
Ananda maga ulaavum Bharani deva

English Translation

Pallavi

Oh friend, will you not ask
The blue colored Krishna to come?

Anupallavi

For fulfillment of my desires, for my eyes to cool down,
Oh Friend, When will I be able to see him.

Charanam

He is the Govinda who creates wonders,
He is Balakrishna who plays with his Gopis,
He is the Deva of Bharani who joyfully roams,
In Brindavan completely forgetting himself.
