I found this translation on the net::
Hari Sankirtana Acarya- Sri Annamayya Kriti:

Pallavi: Emoko chigurutadharamuna edaneda kastoori nindenu
Bhamini vibhunaku vrasina patrika kadu kada. ll

Charanam I : Kaliki chakorakshiki Kada Kannulu Kempai tochina
Cheluvambippudidemo chintimpare chelulu.
Naluvuna praneshwarupai natina aa kona choopulu
Nilovuna perukaga antina netturu kadukada ll

Charanam II Padatiki chanugava merugulu pai pai payyeda velupala
Kaduminchina vidha memo kanugonare chelulu
Udugani vedukato priyudottina nakha shashi rekhalu
Vedalaga vesavi kalapu vennela kadu kada ll

Charanam III: Muddiya chekkula Kelakula mutyapu jallula cherpula
Voddika lagulivemo voohimpare chelulu
Gaddari Tiruvenkatapathi kamini vadanambujamuna
Addina suratapu chematala andamu kadukada ll

Content: "Shringara Sankeertana" (Romantic Song)

Background: The heroine "Alamelumanga" (the consort of Lord Venkateshwara, The Presiding Deity at Tirumala) is coming out of the bedroom after spending a night in courtship with the Lord. Her friends are cajoling "Alamelumanga", observing the traces and marks of Her courtship with the Lord.

Meaning:

One Friend:Why Her lips that are as tender as the sprout are bearing the marks of kasturi ?

Another Friend: Isn't it that the Lady would have written a letter to Him with Her lips!

Stanza I:

One Friend: Her eyes that look like "Chakora" (a bird with whom the eyes of a beautiful lady are compared in Indian poetry) are like rubies. Friends! Can you guess the reason for this beauty?

Another Friend:She planted the arrows of Her looks on Her Lord and withdrew them all of a sudden. Hence the tips of Her arrow-like looks bear the touch of blood. Therefore Her eyes become red. Isn't it?

Stanza II:

One Friend:Her "Payyeda" (part of saree that covers the chest) bears the marks of the brilliant glow of her beautiful breasts. How could it be?

Another Friend:In an amorous excitement, Her Lord could have pressed Her breasts making the marks of His nails that appear in the shape of the crescent moon. Is it not like the shining of the moonlight!

Stanza III:

One Friend:There are drops of pearls on Her pretty cheeks. Can you guess the reason?

Another Friend:Smart One, "Venkatapathi". Sweating with the ecstasy of love for Her, could have the have kissed Her lotus like face. These could be the beauty of His sweat drops. Isn't it?
