Meaning in English

O golden daughter of the cowherds, flawless and pure!
The cows have grazed and returned with full udders,
the strong enemies of the Lord have been destroyed.

Your friends have all gathered at your doorstep,
singing the praises of the dark-hued Lord (Mugil Vannan – Krishna).
Yet you remain silent, not rising or speaking!
O rich and graceful maiden, why do you still sleep?
Come, let us join together and sing of the Lord, O Paavai!
