அவசரமா ரொம்ப அவசரமா
இன்னும் அஞ்சாறு வாரம் இருக்குதம்மா
அடிக்கடி தான் இவ தேதிய பார்த்தா
கல்யாணம் உடனே நடந்திடுமா
Are you in such a hurry, so much in a hurry?
There are still five or six weeks left, dear girl!
If she keeps constantly checking the date like this,
Will the wedding happen right away?
மலரொன்னு மலருது மயங்குதடி
மனசுக்குள் நடக்குது சங்கீதம்தான்
புது முகம் அடிக்கடி சிவக்குதடி
புருஷன நெனைக்கிற சந்தோஷம்தான்
A flower is blooming and swooning,
Music is playing within her heart,
Her new face flushes red so frequently,
It is the joy of thinking about her husband!
கோழி ஒன்னு ஓடுது ஓடுது
கூடாரம் போட்டு அமுக்குங்கடி
கோடி வீட்டு பாட்டிய கேட்டு
கும்மாளம் போட்டு குமுக்குங்கடி
A hen is running, running,
Put up a coop and catch it, girls!
Ask the grandmother living in the corner house,
Make a commotion and celebrate, girls!

காலம் முழுதும் மச்சானத்தான்
முந்தான முடிச்சில வளச்சுக்கடி
நாலு பொண்ணு பின்னால இருக்கு
மனசுல அதையும் நெனச்சிக்கடி
Throughout your life, tie your cousin/groom,
To the knot of your saree pallu and wrap him around!
There are four girls behind him as well,
Keep that in mind in your heart too!
நாளை வரும் மாப்பிள்ளைக்கு
நாங்களெல்லாம் தங்கச்சி
ஆளுக்கொரு சேலை கேட்போம்
அப்பத்தான் நீ எதிர் கட்சி
For the groom who arrives tomorrow,
We are all younger sisters,
We will demand a saree each,
Only then will you become the opposing party!
பிள்ளை இல்லாத வீட்டில் வந்து
துள்ளி குதிக்கட்டுமா புள்ள
எல்லா பொறுப்பையும் ஏத்துக்கோடா
நல்லா சுமக்கட்டும் ஆம்பள
Coming to a house with no children,
Shall a child jump and bounce around?
Take up all the responsibilities,
Let the man carry them well!
சம்பந்தி ஆகும் அம்மாவின் முகத்தில்
சந்தோஷ களைய பாருங்கடி
On the face of the mother who is becoming a relative,
Look at the glow of happiness, girls!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Avasaramaa is a vibrant and cheerful wedding song from the 1992 Tamil film Abhirami, featuring music composed by Deva. Sung primarily by S. P. Sailaja along with a female chorus, the song captures the playful banter between a bride-to-be and her younger sisters or friends. They tease the bride for being overly anxious and eager for her upcoming wedding while playfully reminding her that there are still several weeks left to go. The lyrics vividly describe traditional South Indian wedding preparations, including Kanchipuram silk sarees, Thanjavur thavil, Karaikurichi nadaswaram, jasmine garlands from Dindigul, and Mysore sandalwood paste, creating a festive atmosphere filled with family joy and warm teasing.

Poetic devices
Monaai (Initial Rhyme / Alliteration)
“Malaronnu malaruthu mayanguthadi”
Repetition of the 'M' sound at the beginning of words in adjacent phrases creates a melodic rhythmic flow.
Edhugai (Second Letter Rhyming)
“Adikkadithaan iva thethiya paarththaa”
The second consonant 'dh' matches in 'Adikkadithaan' and 'Adikkuthu', maintaining traditional Tamil poetic rhythm.
Metaphor
“Malaronnu malaruthu mayanguthadi”
The budding emotions and bashfulness of the bride are metaphorically described as a flower blooming and swooning.
