Oh lord, why are you so fascinated? Why did you come so soon?

caraNam 1

Oh my god, I am not sure whether the morning star appeared or not. I just heard cock's crowing at pre-dawn. Oh lord, why are you troubling yourself in coming and going at this early hour without sleep?

caraNam 2

You lips are red like 'Bimba' fruits' and sweet like honey. I get infuriated to see cracks on your lips. Have you come alone or is there another woman with you. You are not leaving her. I don't know of her plight tomorrow.

caraNam 3

Oh Totlavalluru Venugopala, please listen. I observed your reddish eyes and blackened cheeks. Please come soon. Truth is always bitter. Oh Lord Venugopala, poet Dasu Srirama and all sages bow to you.
