Meaning of the song:

A jasmine flower (mallige hOvu) (Refers to a beautiful girl) has bloomed (araLaite)
at the king's (rAjarA) palace (mahalinali)
ailesa (rhyming word - fisherman's music)
a deceiving (mOsagAra) bull (hOriyoMdu) is attracted (maruLAytu) by the
fragrance (vAsanege) of that flower
Lady, Listen (mAta kELavva) to me and watch it (nODu nInavva)

became fat (guDDadaMge kobbaite) by eating (mEdu) all the stuff (kasava)
came infront (aDDabaMda) of it
waiting (nODaite) behind in an ambush (hiMdugaDe hoMcu hAki) for an attack (nuggaleMdu)
along with deceiving fox (vaMcane mADuva nariyanu kUDi)
to make a conspiracy (saMcu mADe kuMtaite)
Abusing words (magane baDDi magane)
does't know (tiLiyade) the good manners (dAribiDuva saMgati) and
stepped (kAliTTaite) in to slush (kesarAge)
Lady, listen (mAta kELavva) to me and watch it (nODu nInavva)

If you are soft (mettage naDedukoMDre)
they will dominate on you (netti hatti kUDuvaru)
if you are strong enough (gadarisi nUkidare)
then they will be at your feet (kAlu hiDidukoLLuvaru)
Just by spell of magic words (maMtragaLige)
you won't get good result (mAvinakAyi bILadu)
(Just by chanting mantras, mangoes will not fall from tree)
stupid fello (maMkaNNa - abba nInabba) rhyming words
you have to fight (mAro mAro mAcaNNa) against (edurubiddu) enemy after
knowing his secrets (marma tiLidu)
Lady, listen to me and watch it (nODu nInavva mAta kELavva)
