The Translation:

Pallavi

Srimad Bhãgavatam is
Verily Lord Hari!

AnuPallavi

The Holy Text
Self-effulgent amidst all Purãnãs
Redeems the lowly!

Charanam - 1

Composed by Vyãsa
Worshipped by 'Bhãvuka Bhakthãs'!**
Bestower of knowledge, bhakti, detachment
The fourth Cannon*** (of philosophy)
Nurtures knowledge of Brãhman!
Is the only kith and kin of mankind    (Srimad)

Madhyamakãlam

Poured forth by Suka Deva
In compassion for the worldly
Enchants the minds of all Mahãtmas
Destroyer of all heinous sins counting Brahmahatyã (murder of a Brãhmin)
Widely famous for Ãtma Deva story! (in above aspect)    (Srimad)

Charanam - 2

Every word proclaims the greatness of Nãma!
Every sloka sings the glory of (the Lord's) Devotees!
Every skanda corroborates the (Lord's) love for His Bhaktas!
Ever worshipped by the devotees of Bhãgavata Muralidhara!    (Srimad)

*The great Sage
**devotees who ever revel in and enjoy the Lord
