I have been singing this song ever since I returned from Udupi. What an amazing experience, I have never felt such feeling ever. Seeing Lord Krishna in Udupi is truly a divine experience.
Lyrics in Kannada and English below:
ಎಂದು ಕಾಂಬೆನೊ ಎನ್ನ ಸಲಹುವ ತಂದೆ ಉಡುಪಿಯ ಜಾಣನಾ|
ಮಂದಹಾಸ ಪ್ರವಿಣನಾ ಇಂದಿರಾ ಭೂರಮಣನಾ||
ದೇವಕಿಯ ಜಠರದಲಿ ಬಂದನ ಆವ ಪಳ್ಳಿಲಿ ನಿಂದನಾ|
ಮಾವ ಕಂಸನ ಕೊಂದನಾ ಕಾವನಯ್ಯ ಮುಕುಂದನಾ||೧||
ಕಢಲ ದಡ ದೋಳೆಸೆವ ರಂಗನ ಕಡಗೋಲ್ನೆಣನ ಪಿಡಿದನಾ|
ಮೃಡ ಪುರಂದರ ರೊಡೆಯನಾ ಈರಡಿಗಳಲಿ ಶಿರ ವಿಡುವೆನಾ||೨||
ಪೂರ್ಣ ಪ್ರಜ್ಞರಿ ಗೊಲಿದು ದ್ವೊರಕೆ ಮಣ್ಣಿನೊಳ ಪ್ರಕಟಿಸಿದನಾ|
ಭವಾಣಕೆ ಪ್ಲವನಾದನಾ ಪ್ರಸನ್ನ ವೆಂಕಟ ಕೃಷ್ಣನಾ||೩||
Endu kāmbeno enna salahuva tande uḍupiya jāṇanā|
mandahāsa praviṇanā indirā bhūramaṇanā||
dēvakiya jaṭharadali bandana āva paḷḷili nindanā|
māva kansana kondanā kāvanayya mukundanā||1||
kaḍhala daḍa dōḷeseva raṅgana kaḍagōlneṇana piḍidanā|
mr̥ḍa purandara roḍeyanā īraḍigaḷali śira viḍuvenā||2||
pūrṇa prajñari golidu dvorake maṇṇinoḷa prakaṭisidanā|
bhavāṇake plava nādanā prasanna veṅkaṭa kr̥ṣṇanā||3||

Hare Srinivasa,
Could anyone please help with the English translation of this beautiful song? I was able to understand only a couple lines? Thank you,

Which lines did you not understand? I can look up Kananda dictionary and tell you?

Thank you for responding. Here are some words I couldn’t get the meaning of (although I am a kannadiga too)
– ಎಂದು ಕಾಂಬೆನೊ ಎನ್ನ ಸಲಹುವ
– ಮಂದಹಾಸ ಪ್ರವಿಣನಾ
– ಕಾವನಯ್ಯ ಮುಕುಂದನಾ
And these stanzas.. I love the song but I’d like the meaning too.
ಕಢಲ ದಡ ದೋಳೆಸೆವ ರಂಗನ ಕಡಗೋಲ್ನೆಣನ ಪಿಡಿದನಾ|
ಮೃಡ ಪುರಂದರ ರೊಡೆಯನಾ ಈರಡಿಗಳಲಿ ಶಿರ ವಿಡುವೆನಾ||೨||
ಪೂರ್ಣ ಪ್ರಜ್ಞರಿ ಗೊಲಿದು ದ್ವೊರಕೆ ಮಣ್ಣಿನೊಳ ಪ್ರಕಟಿಸಿದನಾ|
ಭವಾಣಕೆ ಪ್ಲವನಾದನಾ ಪ್ರಸನ್ನ ವೆಂಕಟ ಕೃಷ್ಣನಾ
Thank you so much, once again. Hari Sarvottama, Vaayu Jeevottama.

As per my limited Kannada knowledge here it is:
– ಎಂದು ಕಾಂಬೆನೊ ಎನ್ನ ಸಲಹುವ – When am I going to see the Lord who protects me
– ಮಂದಹಾಸ ಪ್ರವಿಣನಾ – one who is proficient in smiling
– ಕಾವನಯ್ಯ ಮುಕುಂದನಾ – Lord Krishna both are his names
ಕಢಲ ದಡ ದೋಳೆಸೆವ ರಂಗನ ಕಡಗೋಲ್ನೆಣನ ಪಿಡಿದನಾ| – The one who has a Kadagolu?
ಮೃಡ ಪುರಂದರ ರೊಡೆಯನಾ ಈರಡಿಗಳಲಿ ಶಿರ ವಿಡುವೆನಾ||೨|| – Owner of Purandara vittala, ಈರಡಿ means two feet, I bow my head to his two feet
ಪೂರ್ಣ ಪ್ರಜ್ಞರಿ – Madhwacharyaru, came to Udupi in the form of Mud or Gopichandana
Didn’t find meaning for ಭವಾಣಕೆ.

I think I understood this one line “ಪೂರ್ಣ ಪ್ರಜ್ಞರಿ ಗೊಲಿದು ದ್ವೊರಕೆ ಮಣ್ಣಿನೊಳ ಪ್ರಕಟಿಸಿದನಾ” which I believe is how Sri Madhwacharyaru (Poorna Prajnaru) brought Sri Krishna to Udupi and did ‘sthapana’ there. But, unfortunately I couldn’t get the other words/lines.

Excellent song on Udupi Krishna, when we see God, we should catch the picture in our heart, it will never remove from it by singing to him.
