Off the net.... this delightful song on young Krishna, translated.......



gummana kareyadire ammA nInu * Don't send for gummA, mother,
gummana kareyadire * please don't send for him

summane iddEnu ammiya bEDenu * I'll keep quiet and won't pester you for milk
mammu uNNuttEne amma aLuvudilla * I'll eat food made for me and I won't cry

heNNugaLiruvallige pOgi avara * I won't go to the places where women assemble
kaNNu muccuvadillavE * and I won't close their eyes from behind
ciNNara baDiyenu aNNana baiyenu * I won't beat the young ones and curse my brother
beNNeya bEDenu maNNu tinnuvadilla * I will eat neither butter nor sand


bAvige hOge kaNE amma nA nA * I won't go near the wells, mother,
hAvi noLagADe kaNE * I won't play with snakes
aavina mole yUDe karugaLa biDe nODe * I won't set free the calves
dEvaraMte baMdu ThAvinil^ kUDuve * and play with the udders of cows
I'll sit before you like an angel

magana mAtanu kELuta gOpidEvi * After listening to these entreaties
muguLu nageyu naguta * yaSOdA smiled tenderly
jaga doDeyana SrI puraMdara viThalana
bigidappi koNDaLu mOhadindAga * and affectionately hugged the child, purandara viThala,
the Lord of the universe.


...."gumma" or "bUchivADu" or "pUcchANDi"are terms used to scare infants and toddlers when they get out of line .. Mother yaSOdA too fed up with the antics of Krishna, invoked the name of gumma and the scared child Krishna begs her not to call him.
