Meaning in English

Let us sing the glory of Lord Krishna,
who tore the beak of the demon bird Bakasura
and crushed the wicked Vatsasura under His feet.

The moon has set, Jupiter too has gone to rest,
the birds are chirping, announcing the dawn.
O beautiful girl! Why still lie on your bed?
Come out, bathe in the cool waters,
and join us with pure hearts — O Paavai, come with joy!
