The sky itself is a beautiful roof,
Everyplace you see is a home for lovers.
Play, my darling who is precious as my eyes!
Sing the wedding mantra!
ஆகாயம்தானே...அழகான கூரை...
காணும் இடம் யாவும் காதலர்கள் வீடு
கண்ணான கண்ணே விளையாடு
கல்யாண மந்திரம் பாடு...........

As dark blue eyes speak long stories,
This beautiful creeper flower wafts a youthful fragrance.
As the woman's mind swims in magical dreams,
Two hands embrace the waist as beautiful as lightning.
நீலக்கருவிழிகள் நீண்ட கதை பேச
கோலக் கொடி மலர் இது பருவ மணம் வீச
மாயக் கனவுகளில் மங்கை மனம் நீந்த
மின்னல் இடையழகினை இரண்டு கரம் ஏந்த
We must hear the auspicious wedding drums,
We must see the decorative marriage stage.
We must hear the auspicious wedding drums,
We must see the decorative marriage stage.
கேட்க வேண்டும் மங்கல மேளம்......
காண வேண்டும் மணவறைக் கோலம்

So that a lifelong bond grows day and night,
Sing the wedding mantra!
இரவும் பகலும் உறவு தோன்றிட
கல்யாண மந்திரம் பாடு.....
The sky itself is...
...a beautiful roof.
ஆகாயம்தானே.....
அழகான கூரை.....
As Radha appears like the moon in Krishna's palace,
The music from the played flute rouses deep emotions.
As dark tresses sway like the waves of the river Ganges,
A river of nectar flows on the caressing bed of flowers.
கண்ணன் மாளிகையில் ராதை நிலா தோன்ற
ஊதும் குழலிசையது உணர்வுகளை தூண்ட.....
கங்கை நீர் அலைப்போல் கார்குழல்தான் ஆட
கொஞ்சும் மலரணையில் அமுத நதி ஓட
As the slender waist shrinks with modesty,
I shall place a hundred kiss-seals.
As the slender waist shrinks with modesty,
I shall place a hundred kiss-seals.
So sweetness grows in the thoughts of both,
Sing the wedding mantra!
நாணம் கொண்டு சிற்றிடை வாட
நானும் நூறு முத்திரை போட
நாணம் கொண்டு சிற்றிடை வாட
நானும் நூறு முத்திரை போட
இருவர் நினைவில் இனிமை கூடிட
கல்யாண மந்திரம் பாடு....
The sky itself is a beautiful roof,
Everyplace you see is a home for lovers.
Play, my darling who is precious as my eyes!
Sing the wedding mantra!

இருவர் :
ஆகாயம்தானே...அழகான கூரை...
