This is a beautiful padam in ragamalika composed by Kalamamani Dr Saraswathi
It praises Lord Krishna and how his flute music enchants everyone around that they forget their normal routines.
It is set to raga Desh predominantly. This is popular hindustani raga but there has been a lot of tamil/carnatic songs tuned to this. One popular song that comes to mind is of "Vande Mataram" the national song... set in desh (meaning country... you get it?)
The other is "Thunbam nergayil" from an old Tamil movie.
The Pallavi and anupallavi are set to this raga.
the Charanam forays into Atana (janya of 29th melakartha Shankarabharanam).
There is then a burst of chittaswarams in various raga - Atana, ranjani, simmendra madhyamam, mohanam, hindolam, finishing up back in desh

Lyrics
Pallavi
Raga:Desh
gOvindan kuzhalOsai kEtu
Hearing the music from Govindan's flute
angu mEvidum Avinam mEIdhal marandhana
angu mEvidum Avinam mEIdhal marandhana
The cattle and livestock grazing over there, forgot to graze
Anupallavi
KUvidum paravaigal kUdugal thurandhana
The chirping/singing birds forgot their nests
PUvidai thEn arundha vandinam marandhana
PUvidai thEn arundha vandinam marandhana
The honey bees forgot to drink nectar from the flowers
Charanam
Raga: atana
KatiLa mangaiyar kaNNan kuzhal kEtu
The young damsels heard Kannan's flute (and)
Mattila Ananda kadalil mUzhgi
Mattila Ananda kadalil mUzhgi
drowned in the sea of boundless joy
KaNNanai kandu kAdhal kondu
KaNNanai kandu kAdhal kondu
Saw Kannan and fell in love with Him
KaNNa endrE thEdi alaindhanar [kaNNa nin kuzhalosai ketu]
KaNNa endrE thEdi alaindhanar [kaNNa nin kuzhalosai ketu]
Called out "Kanna" and started searching for him
