Meaning in English

O Nappinnai, daughter-in-law of mighty Nandagopa,
strong as a proud elephant, adorned with fragrant hair,
open your beautiful door!

The roosters are crowing everywhere,
the cuckoos are singing sweetly on the treetops,
and the world is filled with morning light.

O lovely lady with red lotus hands and shining bangles,
come joyfully, remove your ornaments,
and open the door — let us sing of your beloved Lord Krishna!
