Kunjamma : this is for the first few verses. Hope it helps

The breeze sings happily on the riverbank, when it is time for KrishnaÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s arrival. His divine flute is heard, as if to say that no cuckoos can sing in that forest. The music revives even the dead.
The breeze lingers and swirls on the river which flows to a rhythmic beat. As if to say "this is how the hearts of KrishnaÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s devotees swells"

In this section, composer tries to show the impatience that even the flowers of brindAvan experience, in their haste to become one with krishNa: The example used to illustrate this is an imagined conversation between the flower of a screw-pine (the ultra-fragrant tAzhai - snakes are supposed to live in these shrubs attracted by their smell) and a mullai (a type of jasmine).

As the flower of the screw-pine (tAzhai maDal) stretches (nITTu) up and gazes around (nOkkum), it looks as if the jasmine blossom (mullai) watches (pArkkum), and enquires (ernu kETkum) 'is all well with you (ennna saukhiyamO)?'. To which, it appears as if (enavO) the tAzhai replies, 'Tsk (aDa), is this (iduvO) the time (pozhudu) to gossip (mozhi pESiDa)? - Look there (adO)! Let us get together (SErvOm) on the beautiful/charming (muttu) locks (muDiyinil) of krishNa (mAdhavan) who is coming this way (varum), and once we're there (angE), we can talk a lot (metta) - to our heart's content (pESi pESi nErvOm)!'

Bhargavi has captured the insouciance of this exchange very charmingly!!!
