Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

 

1.Odi vaa , odi vaa  vaa, kannan oda  kuzhalumai

Kaadellam  Payye thedi, Balaramanum  balarumai

Peeli kar  koonthal ketti, mulla maalayum mele  charthi

Kumkuma pottum thottu, Kalla  punchiri thooki thooki

 

Come running, come  running, come Krishna  with flute

Searching  cows  all  over forest, along  with Balarama  and boys

Tying peacock feather on black hair, tying jasmine  garland over it

Putting a kumkum  thilak, and showing false  little smile

 

2.Pattu kaupeenam ketti, nalla manja  poonchela chuthi

Kaalil  chilambaninju, kayyil  kaali meyukkunna kolum

 

Tying silk loin cloth , tying good flowery yellow  cloth over  it

Wearing anklet  on legs, Holding stick to mind cattle  in his hand

3.Palakka  mothiramum  vana  malayum chaarthi  kannan

Poornamayi ambadiyum, paripoornamai ambadiyum

 

With palakka ring  and  wearing   forest garland our Krishna

Completely in grazing  place, very completely in grazing  place

 

4.Ambadi thannilulla  kochu kannane, kandeedugil

Janmam   saphalamakum , nara  janmam saphalamakum

 

If we see little Krishna who is in grazing land

The life would be  fruitful, the human life  would be fruitful

 

5.Vedantha pon kadhire, yende  ananda  then kuzhambe

Paadaravindam thozhaam  , yenikku aadaaram neeye  Krishna

 

Oh  golden bristle of  philosophy, My joyful  mixture  of honey

I will salute  your lotus like feet, You are my  support oh Krishna
