Long live the name of Anna!
You are our very own flesh and blood!
Long live the name of Anna!
You are our very own flesh and blood!
Just like the twin leaves together,
may you and your bride
live happily forever, just as you do today...
Long live the name of Anna!
You are our very own flesh and blood...
Hey hey heh-heh
Ah aah ahahaah
I am a Kalyana Raman,
and a true friend to you, groom!
Cast your royal look upon the stage, haha!
This red rose will speak to you in hints!
When the bed of flowers is spread for the wedding night,
do not blink blankly in confusion!
I will teach you all the arts of romance,
for I am the master of all trades...
Long live our Mother!
Long live her children too!
Long live our Mother!
Long live her children too!
Trust in the hand and live on, brother,
may your hand and the bride's hand
remain united as one forever...
Long live our Mother!
Long live her children too!
When two hearts
meet each other,
love is born and a marriage takes place.
And after that, to each other...
they can never speak back!
Oh... Mother, please bless them...
My friend, I too am your companion,
ha, the Superstar in this land!
Ah... hold her trembling hands gently
and tie the three wedding knots tight!
In her youth she leaps like a pouncing tiger,
is that your Gayatri standing right beside you?
I am good to the good,
and I wish you a wonderful life!
I am no saint like you,
I am a slave to your love!
From age six to sixty, you must live happily,
why, even after that,
you both must live very well!
