As joy overflows, overflows, overflows
The anklets of love chime in my ears
தோரண வாசலில் தங்கரதங்களும்
தோழிகளும் என்னை சூழ வலம் வருவேன்
வானவில்லை அங்கு காணவில்லை என்று
மேகம் அலைந்திட தேகம் தனில் அணிவேன்...
கண்கள் உன்னை தேடும்..கால்கள் துள்ளி ஓடும்..
With golden chariots at the decorated entrance gate
Surrounded by maiden friends, I shall make a grand procession
Saying that the rainbow cannot be seen there
I shall adorn it on my body as clouds wander searching
My eyes search for you, my feet leap and run
என் மனம் உன் மனம் ஆனது ஒரு மனம்...
இந்திர பூமியில் இன்னொரு திருமணம்
பூ முகமே சுகமே..இனி தினம் தினம்..
My heart and your heart have become one unified heart
Another grand wedding in the realm of Indra
O flower-like face, sweet comfort awaits every day from now
ஆனந்தம் பொங்கிட பொங்கிட பொங்கிட
காதல் சலங்கைகள் காதில் ஒலிக்குதடி..
As joy overflows, overflows, overflows
