It is kannada.Trying to listen and note the lyrics.

It is a beautiful composition.

I could make out the first line::

P:* seeta* rAmana* sundara *carite* *pELuvE *mudadali* kElE sakhi

It was not possible to decipher the words of the last line.

P:* seeta* rAmara* sundara *carite* *pELuvE* {hELuve}*mudadali* kElE sakhi

Oh my friend, I will joyously narrate the beautiful chronicle of seetarAma.Listen to me.{p}
*************************
The Lord of maithili, the ornament of sAketa, Sri raghuvara,who searched for jAnaki{ap}
*************************
I will narrate the story in a nutshell, of seetadEvi,the embodiment of lakshmi,the virtuous story of
trEtayuga {of eons long goneby}in a nutshell
My friend,I will narrate the story of Sri rAmacandramUrti, displaying his various forms,
**************************
This is the spring time of seetakalyANa, This is the spring time of rAmakalyANa.
*******************************
{as per my understanding, the MK can be translated as}
{When janaka started ploughing the earth in order to perform a yajna
He found ,seetadEvi shining at the tip of the plough.She became the apple of his eyes.)
{though maithili is the proper word in the anupallavi
The usage of the word, *mithile*maybe poetic license}
