Veyililae kulirndhirukkum

Vaeliyilae kodi irukkum

Kai agalam kadhavu irukkum

Kaathu vara vazhi irukkum

Vazhi melae vizhi irukkum

Vandhavar kellam idam irukkum

Mani kadhavai thirandhu veippom

Maamanukku virundhu veippom

Kani kaniyaai eduthu veippom

Kai niraiya thaen koduppom

Nilavu varum nerathilae

Nimmadhiyaaga thoonga veippom

Pathu viral modhiramaam

Pavala malli malaigalaam

Muthu vadam poo charamaam

Mookuthiyaam thodugalaam

Athai aval seedhanamaam

Athanaiyum veedu varum

Kalyanam oorvalamaam

Katcheri virundhugalaam

Mappilaiyin ammavum

Manam kulira varuvaalaam

Ammavin aanaiyidhae

Anbudanae vanangiduvom

It will stay cool even in the heat of the sun,

Vines will climb along the fence,

There will be a simple little doorway,

With a way for the gentle breeze to blow through.

Eager eyes will watch the pathway,

And there will be room for all who arrive.

We will keep the lovely doors wide open,

And prepare a feast for the bridegroom.

We will serve sweet fruits one by one,

And offer honey by the handful.

When the moon rises in the night sky,

We will let him rest in peaceful sleep.

Rings for all ten fingers, they say,

Garlands of coral jasmine flowers, they say,

Strings of pearls and strands of blossoms, they say,

Nose rings and earrings, they say,

As wedding gifts from his mother,

All of them will arrive at our home.

There will be a wedding and a grand procession,

Music concerts and joyful feasts,

And the bridegroom's mother too,

Will arrive with a happy and contented heart.

This is our mother's wish,

Let us bow to it with all our love.
