 ( IN this Krithi , the poet says that  when he  thinks about Lord Krishna , he becomes like a  peacock .)

Ragam  Khamboji

Talam Mishra chapu

Pallavi

Kishnaa nine kurichorkkumbozh yen manam,

Krishna  Mayooramai  Maari povum,

Pallavi

Oh Lord Krishna , whenever  I remember  you,

My mind would turn in to a blue-green peacock.

Anupallavi

Chithra varnancchitham   peeli virich ko-,

Ndethrayum  modhaal athodi povum.

Anupallavi

Opening    its multi coloured    feathers  completely,

It would run away   with joy   , with  great  speed.

Charanam

Peeli yonnengilum   mangu kai kollukil,

Chelianrutham   thudarnnu  povum,

Peeli yoronnilum   yen prema  goodamai,

Neela kkar varnaa , jnan vachirikkum,.

Charnam

If  at least one of those   are   caught by  hand ,

That  pretty   dance    would continue further.

And  in each oof those    feathers ,

Oh God of the colour  of blue cloud,

I would have kept  my love  .
