Meaning of the song:

Child (kaMdA) don't (bEDavO) eat (tinna) the soil (maNNu) please don't (bEDavO)
You (ninage) will get stomach-pain (hoTTe nOyuvudayya) lovely child (suMdarAMgane)

Get up early (bEgane ELayya), leave (biDu nInu) playing in soil (maNNATa)
Godman (jOgi) will come there (barutAnalli) to threaten you (aMjisuvudakIga)
BALAKRISHNAYYA (bAlakRuShNayyanu) leaving mother's advice aside (tAyi mAtanu otti)
HE put his hand (karadali) on soil (maNNOtti) and then to his mouth (bAyali iTTanu)

You make me to get (bahaLa ide) angry (siTTu) and I will hit (peTTu koDuve) you (ninage)
Don't touch (muTTabEDa) the soil (maNNu) I will bring (taruvenayya) butter (beNNe) for you
Listen (kELele) to me mother (ammayya), there is no soil (maNNilla) in my mouth (bAyali )
I will be quiet (summane irutEne), don't bring (tarabEDa) bugbear (gummana)

Call (bAbA eMdu) the child (maguve) and persuaded (baNNisi) HIM
Examined (shOdhisidaLu) the child's (maguvina) mouth (bAya) in a hurry (bEgane)
She found (kaMDaLu) the 14 (hadinAlku) worlds (lOkava) in HIS mouth (bAyali)
Forgot (maretaLayya) her-self (kAya) with oblivious (maruLige vashavAgi)

Again (matte) she found (kaMDaLu) the entire GOKULA (gOkulavellava)
Find (atta kaMDaLu) her (tanna) KRISHNA (kRuShNana) standing beside (bagalalli)
GOPALAKRISHNA (gOpAlakRuShNanu) is in the house (maneyali) of GOPI (gOpyara)
and playing (duDuku mADutalidda) at the wish (manadaMte) of neighbouring ladies (gOpyara)

Supreme (dEvAdidEvane) and son (tanayane) of DEVAKI (dEvaki)
Please come (bArayya), King (doreye), father of MANMATHA (bAvajanayyane)
Let there be praising words ( bahaLa jayagaLAgali) for our (namma) KRISHNARAYA (kRuShNarAyage)
Praising words (jayagaLAgali) for HIS (avana) devotees (bhakta vRuMdake)
Lover of RUKMINI (rukmiNilOlanu), who loves playful-ness (lIlAvinOdanu)
Father (taMde) PURANDARAVITHALA (puraMdaraviThala)
who showed (tOridanu) magical-plays (lIle) during those days (aMdu)
