You feisty girl made just for me,
Come to me, my dear companion,
I will walk beside you
With pride
In front of the whole town.
Your thaali (marriage thread) is my shield,
And along with our home, I
Will protect you safely.
Hoo oo oo oo oo...
Just for my sake,
This world seems to exist,
And just like that,
Our bodies feel it too.
