Aarathi, aarathi
It is time for you to perform the aarathi
Praising and pampering
He is going to adorn you with flowers
ஆனந்த கூச்சலுந்தான்

வெட்கத்தில் வேர்க்குதுதானே
There is a joyful shout
Wedding fever has arrived
Why has this shyness arisen now?
She is sweating out of bashfulness

She came with her pride softened
She is shining, she is shining

Touching heart to heart closely
With the loud auspicious wedding drums beating
Showering cheerful laughter
Embracing you closely

Loud enough to be heard clearly
