indendu - suruTi - miSra chApu

Kshetrayya's composition.
P indendu vachchitivirA aladAni
illu ee veedhi kAdu pOpOrA ||
Oh Muvva Gopala, why did you come over here?. Her house is not in this street. You go there only.
A.P. mandaragiri dharuDaina mA muvva gOpAla
kundaradana mati kOri indu vachchitivO ||
Oh Muvva Gopala, you bore Mandara mountain on your back. You have beautiful teeth. Did you really think of coming here?
C 1 hechchina vennelalO illu teliyaka neevu
matsya kanTini dagili maimarachitivO
machchika tODuta nee manasu challaga
jEsi gruchchi kaugilinchina kOmali nEgAnu ||
That woman has beautiful fish-shaped eyes. You met her in bright moonlight. Perhaps you forgot yourself in your excitement. I am not the woman who embraced and softened you.
C 2 naDirEyi jAmuvELa nAti neevunu
gooDi naDachukonna chinnelu teliserA
vaDi vaDigA veedhilOki vachchinAvu
ravika muDi viDuva vachchEvu
muchchuvAni vale neevu ||
I know about your mischivous deeds in midnight with that woman. You untied the knot of her blouse and hurriedly came out to the street. You are pretending innocence.
C 3 madana lahari minchi mada metti
joochedavu vadalakunnAvadEla vaddu pOpOra
madana kELi gooDi mamata reTTinchedavu
udayamAyenu lEra yuvidalandaru joochedaru ||
You are looking at me intoxicated in love. Leave me alone and get away. You are enhancing my ecstasy to have union with you. It is early morning. Please leave me lest all other women observe us.
