Meaning

Oh Lord Ambujanabha!  Your form is enchanting.  Oh, the annihilator of the demon Mura!  Your sporting with my heart gives me immense bliss.
Your body embellishes with the fine paste of sandal Haricandana;  You are like the bee to the lotus faces of Sridevi and Bhudevi;  Oh the conqueror of Mura!  YOu are as majestic as the vast ocean and dispeller of the miseries of those who worship you.
Your glory is sacred;  Your eyes resemble the lotus;  You excel Cupid in grace;  the face like the moon, Oh Lord! You are to the demons Madhu & Kaitabha what the wildfire is to the forest./  One who vanquished the wicked serpent Kalya.  You are worshiped by gods, demons, and semi-gods (Vidyadhara-s) and one who is like the celestial tree in fulfilling the wishes of hapless.
You are surrounded by the cowherds;  having the most charming smile;  one who exterminated with anger the fierce demon Sakata.  You are the remover of sins; dispeller of the pains of animate and inanimate beings; the brother of Baladeva.  One who gave comfort to Dharmatmaja- Yudhishtira the gem among the kinds;  one who reduced the burden of the earth and You are the star of Yadu dynasty.
Oh The lord of earth!  Your form is a blusish hue;  you held aloft the mount in hand;  the vanquisher of Sisupala; adorned with golden attire;  forehead adorned with camphor; one whose melody is clear and sweet; worshiped by Siva and Indra; father of love and the dispeller of the woes caused by Kali.

Meaning

Who is not entranced in this universe by the enchanting melody of your flute?
Your form excels that of the Cupid;  you manifested as a marvelous human form.
Oh, Nirjaksha!  Even though the trees may be dry, they quickly sprout new leaves by listening.  Even the herds of deer which are grazing, stand still like a picture while listening to you.
Of the lord of all! An embodiment of truth!  The lion which is of the nature of killing the mighty elephant, forsaking its natural instinct, becomes serene by your side.
Oh the lord supreme!  Even the hard rocks will melt by themselves by listening to the sound of your music.  Oh, the vanquisher of the demons Mura!  Sri Padmanabha! As such there is nothing strange that it is attractive to the hearts of women folks.

aisi lila koti kiyo kaise jayo madhuvan se padmanabh prabhu din udharaN palo dukh se

Meaning

Oh, mother! I will not go to the banks of the Jamuna river.
Mother Yasodha, after listening to these words asked Murari, "please tell me why you will not go to graze the cattle?"
Hari, looking sternly said that: "all the cowherd damsels join together and jostled me.  Being ashamed of their action, all the women of Vraj told me not to inform you"
Still, Krishna told everything to his mother.  Then the damsels covered his mouth with their hands.
After indulging in innumerable exploits with us, how can you leave Madhuvana?  Oh! Lord Padmanabha, succor of hapless, protect us from all miseries.
