நாளை விடிகாலையில் நாதஸ்வர ஓசையில்
மாலையிடும் வேளையில் என்ன மயக்கம்
முதல் நாள் இரவை மனம் எண்ணும்போதிலே
அடடா எனக்கே இத சொல்லத் தோணல
அலை பாயுது விளையாடுது நெஞ்சம் வானிலே
Tomorrow morning, amidst the sound of the nadaswaram
At the time of exchanging garlands, what a wonderful trance!
When my heart contemplates the first wedding night
Ah! Even I feel too shy to say it aloud
My heart leaps like waves and plays up in the sky
அந்த இந்திரலோகமே
இங்கு வந்தது போலவே

சின்னவளின் சேலையை மன்னனவன் ஆசையால்
மெல்லத் தொட்ட மாதிரி ஒரு கனவு
மெதுவாய் விழித்தேன் அந்த ராசா காணல
அதனால் எனக்கே இரு கண்ணும் மூடல
தவிச்சேன் உடல் கொதிச்சேன் இந்த வாடக் காத்துல
With deep desire, my lord gently touching the young girl's saree
Was a vivid dream I had
I woke up slowly, but that prince was nowhere to be seen
Because of that, both my eyes could not close in sleep
I yearned and my body burned in this cold northern wind

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song portrays a young woman ecstatic with joy as she anticipates her upcoming wedding day and intimate life with her beloved. She describes her happiness as if Indraloka (the heavenly realm) has descended to Earth and her mind is taking a purifying bath in the holy river Ganges. In her blissful state, she imagines the morning wedding rituals filled with traditional nadaswaram music, the exchange of garlands, and her shyness regarding her first night with her husband. The track captures her romantic restlessness, sweet dreams, and playful longing during cold, sleepless nights.
