Where Raman is, Sita is there
Not one year, nor two
Live for many long years
Mother and father,
Bless me indeed
Where Raman is, Sita is there
Not one year, nor two
Live for many long years
Mother and father,
Bless me indeed
...
Should the lotus feet of father and mother
Touch the bare ground?
Upon a carpet strewn with flowers,
May you walk softly
As husband and wife standing sweetly together,
We shall perform all duties today
Like the two deities of a sacred temple,
Beholding this divine vision before us,
Shall I sing songs of joy?
Where Raman is, Sita is there
Not just yesterday, not just today, but forever with you
Mother and father, my dear, are right behind you
...
Like the eternal gentle breeze,
May you live long, my son!
Female: There is no fine child on this earth
To equal you
Madurai Meenakshi has become your companion,
Female: Bestowing goodness on earth for long years to come
Male: To soothe the heart of the mother who bore you
Female: To gladden the heart of your loving father
Both: May you live long with joy that never leaves
May you live long with joy that never leaves
Where Raman is, Sita is there
Not one year, nor two
Live for many long years
Mother and father,
Bless me indeed
Mother and father,
Bless me indeed
