Mother Mariyatha gave her blessing,
She brought prosperity to the village!
She looked upon us kindly and gave us our daily food,
She opened a good path for our village!
Why this joyous celebration, girl? When is the wedding?
It is all set, Muthu Pechi!
Once the wedding is over and the celebrations end,
She will soon be expecting a child!

Once a year,
Chorus: The festive day has arrived!
Female: All our kinfolk have gathered together,
Chorus: Great fortune shines in her horoscope!
Female: To splash turmeric water on her maternal sweetheart,
This young girl has come!
Chorus: Even if the turmeric stains wash away,
The longing in the heart will never fade, sister-in-law!
All across the village,
Chorus: There is grand celebration!
Female: Eyes are fluttering and spinning,
Chorus: Just like buzzing bees!
Female: Hey girl, come forward!
What happened to make your cheeks blush red,
You cuckoo of the millet field?
Chorus: Oh precious pearl, oh coriander blossom!

Applying oil to her hair bun,
Chorus: Dipping her hand into the water pot,
Female: Swaying the drape of her saree with style,
Chorus: Feeling shy and flirtatious in her heart,
Female: There goes Ponnurangam,
Pure gold wrapped in a saree!
Chorus: Inside Irulandi's grove,
Some secret affair is going on!
Hey girl!
Chorus: Who is he?
Female: If you do not tell us,
Chorus: There will be trouble!
Female: Look here, give us an answer!
What happened to make your cheeks blush red,
You cuckoo of the millet field?
