The words are all Sanskrit- based but the grammar and noun-endings indicate that it is probably in Telugu. For eg, feminine words like lola and paripala have short-vowel endings.
So I shall attempt the general meaning, but may not be accurate. It seems to be on Lakshmi/Sita.

shrI lOla - O Lakshmi, fickle one!
shritapAla - Protector of devotees!
sEvita sura gaNa lIla - O One whose sports are worshipped by Devas !
kaca kucadhara suma mAla - O One wearing flower garlands on your hair and bosom.
kara sarasija paripAla - O One protecting with lotus-like hands.
su-nrta vrta sucaritri - O One with a pure character and principle of (speaking) the truth!
surucira shubhakara gAtri - O One with a beautiful, auspicious form!
sArasa lOcana dAtri - O Lotus-eyed giver!
(this may be sArasa-sambhava-dhatri - O Mother of the lotus-born Brahma. sambhava is just a conjecture, could be any similar word)
suranuta janaka putri - O Daughter of Janaka, praised by Devas!
gurutara kuca vENidhara - O One bearing a heavy bosom and a dense braid!
naravaranuta kalyANi - O Auspicious one praised by kings.
