It is the month of Karthigai, girl,
it is the wedding season!
Hey, it is the month of Karthigai, girl,
it is the wedding season!
Check the traditions and customs, girl,
and let us exchange garlands with our eyes right here!
Why look for rituals and customs?
Why ask for horoscopes?
Why look for rituals and customs?
Why ask for horoscopes?
The bride is ready and waiting, my king,
you just take care of the rest, my rose!
The bride is ready and waiting, my king,
you just take care of the rest, my rose!
Hey, it is the month of Karthigai, girl,
it is the wedding season!
Check the traditions and customs, girl,
and let us exchange garlands with our eyes right here!
Like Thanjavur Thangavelu,
to the rhythm and the beat of drums,
I must sweep you into my arms, my golden girl!
Aha, you must go to the Kammanoor market,
and along with dark glass bangles,
you must bring back anklets for my feet!
Do not forget to invite Mother with betel nuts!
Do not keep casually
spilling all our private secrets!
We need this, we need that,
we must get something or the other!
Hey, it is the month of Karthigai, girl,
it is the wedding season!
Check the traditions and customs, girl,
and let us exchange garlands with our eyes right here!
When your cousin casts aside her shyness,
and comes over to sing and dance,
make a soft bed for her with love, my lord!
Placing a silk mattress on the cot,
touching you gently and giving you kisses,
I will make you sing and dance, come to me!
Then all the power will be in my hands from now on!
Ah, now pay your respects to Mother!
Millions of respectful greetings to the blessed queen!
Hey, it is the month of Karthigai, girl,
it is the wedding season!
Check the traditions and customs, girl,
and let us exchange garlands with our eyes right here!
Even if I tell her a white crow flew down softly
and jumped into a ditch,
Mother will believe it is the truth!
There is no trickery in her heart,
and no suspicion in her head,
so make up whatever tales you want freely!
She will definitely come to the wedding!
Aha, and traditionally she will give us another gift too!
Keep up the pace and play the game,
strut your walk, keep on strutting!
Hey, it is the month of Karthigai, girl,
it is the wedding season!
Check the traditions and customs, girl,
and let us exchange garlands with our eyes right here!
