Gathering the entire town together,
Here stands a grand wedding!
With everyone warmly wishing them well,
Hey, endless millions of joys
Will shower down on this wedding!
Grace and beauty unite in splendor.
The blossomed young bride
And the handsome young groom,
Even beyond a hundred years,
Must live as a single soul.
With hearts that never change,
And a charm that never fades,
Across seven lifetimes,
They must stay united and share their love.
As sweetness trickles and wells up,
An endless intoxication rises!
Like a swing high up in the sky,
Go on and sway with joy!
Do not hold yourself back!
Exchange the betel leaves and areca nuts,
And never let go of the person you chose!
It is a top-notch fantastic beat,
It will be the talk of the town, ask no questions!
Hey, slip on the wedding toe-ring,
And do not get caught in any other net!
A dashing lad draped in a dhoti—
Do not put on false pride and swagger!
Dai dakka dandakka dandakka dakka re
Dai dakka dandakka dakka dakka re
Dai dakka dandakka dandakka dakka re
Dai dakka dandakka dakka dakka dakka re
Ah dakka dakka dakka re
Ah dakka dakka dakka re
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Aarathi, bring on the aarathi (welcoming flame ritual)!
Wave the aarathi, you fearless beauty!
Sweet as jaggery candy, my princess,
Why are you feeling shy, princess?
Noble lady, gracious lady,
A charming lady who enchants everyone!
Praising and celebrating you every day,
Your man arrives driving a royal chariot!
My heart begins
To read tales of romance,
Playfully, a wedding drum
Keeps beating in excitement!
Like grand fireworks,
Joy bursts and explodes!
I have lost myself completely!
Is it a net
That keeps pulling me in?
Yearning to lose its way,
My heart flutters with excitement!
Like a sweet sugarcane,
It takes gentle bites of me!
This is true love, finally in our hands!
As the heavens embrace the earth,
As words on the lips fade away,
Through the sleepless night,
Go on and sing your sweet melody!
Sa sa ri ri ga ga ma ma
Exchange the betel leaves and areca nuts,
And never let go of the person you chose!
It is a top-notch fantastic beat,
It will be the talk of the town, ask no questions... hey!
Hey, slip on the wedding toe-ring,
And do not get caught in any other net!
A dashing lad draped in a dhoti—
Do not put on false pride and swagger!
Dai dakka dandakka dandakka dakka re
Dai dakka dandakka dakka dakka re
Dai dakka dandakka dandakka dakka re
Dai dakka dandakka dakka dakka dakka re
Ah dakka dakka dakka re
Ah dakka dakka dakka re
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
