Aayar sheriyar Shabdam lyrics with meaning

A very famous shabdam in Bharatanatyam narrating about Lord Krishna and his miracles and mischievous games in Vrindavan. The meaning is approximate, as , once again, with Tamil here it’s a bit hard. :D

Interesting discovery with the lyrics was when teacher was trying to explain me the annupalavi, where krishna’s face is radiating.

-         -  Don’t you know, - she said, - that monks and sadhus have flames playing on their faces?

      I was amazed. As indeed I saw people, spiritual practitioners, having this amazing warm radiance coming through their skin. Apparently, in India it’s a well known phenomenon. :)

Meaning: 

Magician Krishna is playing his  flute,  and no one, neither his mother, father, not gopis, know it

His hair is curly and beautiful as its floating at him playing the flute, at this time his face is radiant like flames. His music makes the deer forget his body. Krishna’s lips are like coral stone

His beautiful delicate fingers caress the flute, his eyebrows are dark and attractive. His music makes the gopis, forgetting their chores, run to hear him and praise him.
