Aha, a wedding!
Aha, a wedding!
Aha, a wedding!
A hundred desires!
Aha, a wedding!
Ah, ah, a wedding!
Aha, a wedding!
Look at the celebration!
The bride and groom look splendid!
The whole town gathers together!
Songs blast from the speakers,
Hearts unite as garlands are exchanged!
With kohl-lined eyes,
Her shyness speaks as she stands there!
The way the groom looks at her,
There is something deep inside!
Aha, a wedding!
Aha, a wedding!
Aha, a wedding!
A hundred desires!
Aha, a wedding!
Ah, ah, a wedding!
Aha, a wedding!
Look at the celebration!
Who applied the henna?
Look how red her hands have turned!
When the feast is laid out on banana leaves,
The entire crowd rushes for the food!
Look at the relatives squabbling,
The drinks and beer are never enough!
People in town will always talk,
Just try getting married and see!
Aha ha haha haha

If you get totally drunk,
Your wife will scold you!
Even if stones are thrown at you,
You must stand firm like Kattabomman (brave king)!
You must pack away your anger,
Even if you act brave before the world,
You must keep your mouth shut at home!
If she tells you once,
Without making her ask again,
You must do as she said!
If she says stop, you must stop!
Even if you are a Superstar,
Even if you live like a lion,
You must pamper her at home,
And plead with her once in a while!
You must fly back swiftly like a bird,
If you touch her, touch her heart,
Whatever touches her, let it be your love,
Shower her with endless affection!
Money and wealth will come in bundles,
They come and go every day.
Plant deep trust and nurture it,
Only in death should you let go of her hand!
Aha, a wedding!
