let me try!!

Pallavi:
manasA= oh my heart/soul
ninnu jeppa kAraNamemi= why should you be blamed
munu= previously
nE jEsina karma= the actions I did
mitlundaga= are like this

= why should you be blamed when m previous actions are like this ( in other words the poet says he is bearing the brunt of his previous actions)

Anupallavi:
dhana= wealth
tanaya= son/daughter
adi= etc
pasha= bonds
baddhudai= encaptured
ghanamaina=( generally) great (but here) big
pAmarudai= (generally) uneducated(but here) ignorant
anduku= because of

= Because of my ignorance I became encaptured by worldly bonds like wealth and family
Charanam:
palumAru= many times
durbhashyai= using bad language
tirigi= roaming around
kula hInamaina= bringing shame on family
krityamul= acts
salpuchu= doing
= I have been roaming around using bad language and doing shameful deeds like a vagabond
kalalOnaina= even in dreams
venkatEshayani dalachleni= who cannot think of VenkatEsha
pApa krityudai= be a sinner
anduku= because of
= because of my inability to think of venkatEsha even in dream I am a sinner ( for which I suffer)

I hope the meaning is clear
