Meaning of the song:

Arati (ritualistic waving of lamp - water mixed with turmeric/vermillion powder before an idol or person)
Wave an arati (Arati ettire) to SHRIMANNARAYANA, who is supreme diety (chinmayage) and who brings happyness to all (AnaMdamayage).

Who rescued VEDAs (vEdava taMdu), rescued people by lifting Govardhana hill,
(beTTava pottu) who came out by breaking open the piller (dharaNiya sAdhisi kaMbadi baMdavage), who killed BALI CHAKRAVARTI (nRupara saMharisida) by asking (bEDi) gift of land (bhUdAnava), wave an arati (Arati ettire) to ORIGIN god (Adi mUrutige)

iMdu (moon) vadane (face) (one who has a face like moon)
Wandered in forest (araNyadi) along (sahita) with SEETA (iMduvadane)
Played happily at NAMDAGOKULA (naMdagOkuladali nalidavage)
maMdagamane - Ladies walking gently
Wave Arati (Arati ettire) to a small boy (mUruti) who stood (niMda) naked (nirvANadi) infront (muMde) of maMdagamaneyaru (Ladies)

HAYAVADANA, who killed demons (daityara sILi) by riding horse (turagavanEri ) and protected (poreva) good people (sujanara), wave Arati (Arati ettire) to lotus feet (charaNa kamalake) of VARADA YADAVAGIRI ADI NARAYANA.
