Love-struck madness,
Hey hey, love-struck madness!
Love-struck madness,
Oh oh, love-struck madness!
Love-struck madness,
Hey hey, love-struck madness!
Mic testing, one, two, one, two...
Female: Hey, what happened, guys?
Turn up the volume, boys!
Girl as delicate as the Anicham flower,
Enchanting beauty that makes hearts dance,
Beauty with dark, striking eyes,
Gorgeous beauty who makes heads spin,
To places far and wide,
I used to fly high and free,
But before you, you wicked girl,
I stood withered like a dry leaf!
Here he comes, here he comes!
He is coming with the wedding gifts!
Bringing along the betel-nut cart,
He is coming with the bridal gifts!
For the groom who got caught,
Buy him a fine cotton veshti (traditional wrap)!
Once he ties the sacred thali,
Burst into a cheerful song!
Until yesterday, the white moon...
...feels like a wasted moon to me now!
Oh girl, that is how it feels!
The white moon rising tomorrow...
...will turn into a sweet honeymoon!
Oh girl, it surely will!
An unspoken happiness...
...sweeps me up completely!
A tormenting, sweet burden...
...pinches at me without stopping!
Hey girl, come along, girl,
Let us share all our dreams!
Here he comes, here he comes!
He is coming with the wedding gifts!
Bringing along the betel-nut cart,
He is coming with the bridal gifts!
For the groom who got caught,
Buy him a fine cotton veshti (traditional wrap)!
Once he ties the sacred thali,
Burst into a cheerful song!
Pee pee pee pee peepe pee!
Hey, thanda nakkuna thanakku nakku naa!
Female: Aaha... play that beat!
Oho... hey, why are you just standing there?
For the new bride and groom,
Shower handfuls of fresh flowers!
May the groom and the bride...
...live happily together, give them your blessings!
Ohhh, thanthana thanthana,
Thanthana thanthana naa!
Inside my heart that was locked away,
The love that was stored up...
...is hitting me hard, oh girl, hitting me hard!
Leaving the battlefield behind,
My feet will now walk into a field of flowers!
Oh girl, they surely will!
Without any hesitation or respect,
Why is my own heart scolding me?
Urging me to speak your name,
The tip of my tongue keeps fluttering!
Hey girl, come along, girl,
Let us share all our dreams!
Here he comes, here he comes!
He is coming with the wedding gifts!
Bringing along the betel-nut cart,
He is coming with the bridal gifts!
For the groom who got caught,
Buy him a fine cotton veshti (traditional wrap)!
Once he ties the sacred thali,
Burst into a cheerful song!
Girl as delicate as the Anicham flower,
Enchanting beauty that makes hearts dance,
Beauty with dark, striking eyes,
Gorgeous beauty who makes heads spin,
To places far and wide,
I used to fly high and free,
But before you, you wicked girl,
I stood withered like a dry leaf!
Love-struck madness,
Hey hey, love-struck madness!
Love-struck madness,
Oh oh, love-struck madness!
Love-struck madness,
Hey hey, love-struck madness!
