ADavAramella gooDi - yadukula kAmbhOji - chApu

P ADavAramella gooDi manamADudAmu harini vEDi || Women only will play this water- sport. Should we request Krishna also?
C 1 krushNuDu chooDaga manamu jala
kreeDa salupa manchidinamu ||
It would be a beautiful day if Krishna also sees our water sports.
C2,C3 kamalanEtruni bAsi sukhamA ODa
gaTTu chErcha mana taramA ||
rAkumAruDu veeDu navaratna sommulu beTTinADu
Can we be happy leaving away Krishna ? Can we push the boat into water? He is prince adorning gem studded ornaments.
C4,C5 pasibiDDa gAdaTammA veeDu
bhayapaDunO teliyadammA ||
tallitO chADi palukudurE mana
talaluvancha doorudurE ||
Is he not just a child? We don't know whether he would be scared?
Some may carry tales to Mother Yasoda. Then we may have to bend our heads in shame.
C6,C7 mATaku chOTaunugAni mana yATalu teliyaka bOni||
yuvatulAra meelOnE meeru yOchimpa proddu poyyEni ||
Others would surely know this. Why should we give scope for bad comments?
We are whiling away time in needless imagination.
C8,C9 chAlu chAliTu rArammA ODa salilamuna trOyarammA || tyAgarAjAptuDu veeDu vanitala mATalu vinalEDu || Oh friends, enough of our debate. Please come and push the boat into water.
Krishna is dear to Tyagaraja. He might not have over heard us.
