On the shores of Kerala,
You have cast your net, my sweetheart...
Chal chakka chinukka,
There is a sweet packet of sugar here!
Daa thakka thinukka,
And here is a man adorned with sandalwood paste!
Chal chakka chinukka,
There is a sweet packet of sugar here!
Daa thakka thinukka,
And here is a man adorned with sandalwood paste!
Stepping onto the wedding stone,
Chorus: You walk ahead!
Male: Like the star Arundhati,
Chorus: You shine so bright!
Male: To hold him in your embrace,
Chorus: You yearn in your heart!
Male: Rolling your eyes playfully,
Chorus: You cast a charm on him!
From now on, are you the guardian
of his entire life?
Is the edge of your saree meant
just to hide your shy blush now?
Aahaa
Aahaa
Chal chakka chinukka,
There is a sweet packet of sugar here!
Daa thakka thinukka,
Chorus: Hey!
Male: And here is a man adorned with sandalwood paste!
Hey hey hey hey...
Even your playful sulking has a musical beat,
Your lovely smile is like a beautiful rangoli pattern!
Just to rub on a bit of your glow,
the moon keeps searching for you!
Your long hair that touches the floor
rests like a crown upon your head!
To hold your hand every single day,
a sweet dream keeps rising in his mind!
Behind those blinking eyes,
you hold a little story!
With the gentle clinking of your bangles,
you cast an enchanting spell!
Holding on to his little finger,
Chorus: You hold it tight!
Male: To walk around the sacred fire,
Chorus: You take your steps!
Male: Welcoming him as your partner,
Chorus: You hold him dear!
From now on, are you the guardian
of his entire life?
Is the edge of your saree meant
just to hide your shy blush now?
Aahaa
Aahaa
Chal chakka chinukka,
There is a sweet packet of sugar here!
Daa thakka thinukka,
And here is a man adorned with sandalwood paste!
