Oh lime blossom
Oh lime blossom, oh lime blossom
Why this joy and excitement?
Oh lime blossom
Oh lime blossom... why this joy?
When young hearts celebrate in full bloom
A thousand joys abound
Lotus buds
send secret signals, swaying with longing
To drape the half-saree on this mango-tree sparrow
her sweetheart has arrived, my girl!
Oh lime blossom
Oh lime blossom
Oh lime blossom
Why this joy?
When young hearts celebrate in full bloom
A thousand joys abound
Feeling bashful,
a new shyness rushing in
has told this flower to bloom
Stuttering while speaking, with body tingling in shyness,
did youth teach all this?
To this girl who has blossomed into youth,
to bow her head in modesty,
who taught her all this shyness?
The sweet nectar welling inside that flower
has arrived to be tasted, my dear!
Come close to me
Shall I offer the bridal token?
Declaring that our true bond has begun,
may I come close and hold you?
You may come, dham dham
Thannam thannam, you may come...
Oh lime blossom
Oh lime blossom
Why this joy?
When young hearts celebrate in full bloom
A thousand joys abound
Fragrance spreading across all eight villages,
oh jasmine of Madurai!
Oh flower adorned with a bindi, oh fresh honey,
oh girl who has just blossomed into womanhood!
For the river Cauvery,
are the wild flowers along the riverbanks
a wedding gift?
Dressed in a traditional Kandangi saree,
for the girl celebrating her youth,
you are her royal chariot!
Come, my Shenbagam blossom,
come, let me apply fresh sandalwood paste
Oh sweet young girl,
shall I collect a little toll of love?
Chorus: You may take it, dham dham
Thannam thannam, you may take it...
Oh lime blossom
Oh lime blossom
Why this joy?
When young hearts celebrate in full bloom
A thousand joys abound
Lotus buds
send secret signals, swaying with longing
To drape the half-saree on this mango-tree sparrow
her sweetheart has arrived, my girl!
Oh lime blossom
Oh lime blossom, why this joy?

A thousand joys abound
