Though I had copied the lyrics from Karnatik, I had to do many corrections. I followed the lyrics as given in TTD REligious publications Series No 128, 2nd Edition, " Annamacharyula Samkirtanalu"

Krishna,
Please go ahead and provide the meaning of each paragraph. That will help me in the word to word meaning.
--Rigapada

[krishnaa]

here is the translation, it is not mine, i took it from a book.


Sprinkling her beauty around, She danced!
With graceful movements, Alamelumanga!

With the charm of a half bloomed flower, when women around praised her,
Behind the translucent screens, she danced
Stepping with the speed of lightning
Melting the heart of hari, alamelumanga

With her proportionate postures, with rubies in her toe rings
She crossed over thresholds,
With the shimmer of diamonds of her anklets
Spreading around, alamelumanga

With jig and songs, playfully,
With jingling anklets, she danced
The passionate Lord Tiru Venkatapati appreciating,
Swirling gracefully, Alamelumanga!
