Hey Ramayi, my princess!
Hey Ramayi, my princess!
Hey Ramayi, my fresh rose!
Who bloomed and smiled? What did she look at and delight in?
Like a rushing fresh flood, on her running feet, the anklets...
...dance and sing, rhythmically stepping to the beat!
They dance and sing, rhythmically stepping to the beat!
Hey Ramayi!
Her maternal uncle bought and gave her silver anklets,
He brought good news,
And came asking for her hand in marriage!
A blessing of marriage has arrived... mmm...
Let the drums sound, the Thanjavur drums!
Let the pipes play festive concert tunes!
May Goddess Bannari Amman shower her blessings,
And may your mother bless you and send you on your way!
The bride bowed her head, wearing the thali (sacred wedding knot),
And stepped forward wearing new toe rings!
Hey Ramayi! My princess!
Hey Ramayi! A fresh rose!
Who bloomed and smiled? What did she look at and delight in?
Like a rushing fresh flood, on her running feet, the anklets...
...dance and sing, rhythmically stepping to the beat!
They dance and sing, rhythmically stepping to the beat!
Hey Ramayi!
Boiling the milk of Kamadhenu (the divine cow),
And adding sweet sugar candy,
She carried it in her hands, they say,
And he received it from her, they say!
Now listen to what happened next!
She bolted the bedroom door,
And as she lay on the mat, she asked, "What is it?"
Hey... hey...
As soon as the milk was drunk, she just looked on,
And feeling heavy with sleep, she let out a yawn!
Kannan stayed wide awake, while Radha fell fast asleep!
And just like that, morning dawned on their wedding night!
Hahaha!
Hey Ramayi!
My princess!
Hey Ramayi!
A fresh rose!
Who bloomed and smiled? What did she look at and delight in?
Like a rushing fresh flood, on her running feet, the anklets...
...dance and sing, rhythmically stepping to the beat!
They dance and sing, rhythmically stepping to the beat!
