Adavaramella..in Yadukulakamboji

The Gopis indecisively contemplate a boat ride with Krishna. He urges them to get going

āḍavāramella kūḍi
manamāḍudāmu¹ harini vēḍi

[Gopis among themselves]
Let us damsels play together, requesting Hari (to join).

kṛṣṇuḍu jūḍaga manamu
jala-krīḍa salpa mañci dinamu

[Gopis, among themselves]
It is a nice day for us to frolic in water, as Krishna watches.

kamala nētruni bāsi sukhamā ōḍa
gaṭṭu jērpa mana taramā

Is it comforting to be separated from the Lotus-eyed one?
Is it in our capacity to get the boat to the shore?

rāja kumāruḍu vīḍu nava
ratna sommulu peṭṭināḍu

He is a prince;
He has worn ornaments studded with precious stones.

pasi biḍḍa kādaṭavammā vīḍu
bhayapaḍunō teliyadammā

It seems he is not a small child;
We don’t know whether He would be afraid.

tallitō cāḍi palukudurē mana
talalu vañca² dūrudurē

People will back-bite about us with His mother;
people will slander us to make us bow our heads in shame.

māṭaku cōṭaunu³ kāni
mana āṭalu teliyaka pōni

It will give room for ridicule;
yet may our play not be known to the world.

yuvatulārā mīlōnē mīru
yōcimpa proddu poyyenu⁴

[Krishna to the girls] O damsels!
As you keep pondering among yourselves, time is passing away.

cālu cāliṭu rārammā ōḍa
salilamandu tōyarammā (ā)

Enough of it! Come here
and push the boat into the water.

tyāgarājāptuḍu vīḍu
vanitala māṭalu vina lēḍu

[Gopis, to themselves] He is a friend of Thyagaraja;
[So] he doesn’t listen to the words of damsels.
