கௌரிக்கு திருமணம் நிச்சயமாச்சு
யோகம்தான் பொருந்தின ஜாதகமாச்சு
பெண்ணுக்கு பிடிக்கிற மாப்பிள்ளையாச்சு
ஊருக்கு இதை விட வேறென்ன பேச்சு
Gowri's marriage has been finalized
The horoscope matching turns out to be very auspicious
The groom is well liked by the bride
What else is there for the town to talk about?
உலகம் முழுக்க ஒலிக்கும் நாயன ஓசை
ஒனக்கும் எனக்கும் இதுதான் வேறென்ன ஆசை
மகராசி மனம் போல மணக்கட்டும் மால
The sound of the Nadaswaram echoes all over the world
For you and me, what other desire could there be than this?
May the wedding garland smell sweet, like the generous heart of the blessed lady
கௌரிக்கு திருமணம் நிச்சயமாச்சு
யோகம்தான் பொருந்தின ஜாதகமாச்சு

Gowri's marriage has been finalized, ha!
The horoscope matching turns out to be very auspicious
The groom is well liked by the bride... beat it... hey!
What else is there for the town to talk about?
சின்ன சின்ன கண்ணோரம் மின்னல் மின்ன
வண்ண வண்ண செந்தூரம் கையில் மின்ன
முல்லப் பூவ முந்தான மூட மூட
பொண்ணு வந்தா பட்டாட ஆட ஆட
காலம் எல்லாம் வாழப் போறா
நம்மை எங்கே தேடப் போறா
Lightning flashes near the corner of her small eyes
Colorful vermilion sparkles on her hands
As her saree pallu covers her like jasmine flowers
The bride arrives as her fine silk saree sways
She is going to live happily for a lifetime
Where will she ever have time to search for us?
என்றும் உள்ள தென்றல் போல
எங்கள் வீட்டு பெண்ணே வாழ்க
என்றும் உள்ள தென்றல் போல
எங்கள் வீட்டு பெண்ணே வாழ்க
Like the eternal gentle breeze
Long live the daughter of our house
Like the eternal gentle breeze
Long live the daughter of our house
கௌரிக்கு திருமணம் நிச்சயமாச்சு
யோகம்தான் பொருந்தின ஜாதகமாச்சு
அட பெண்ணுக்கு பிடிக்கிற மாப்பிள்ளையாச்சு
போடு ஊருக்கு இதை விட வேறென்ன பேச்சு
அடடடடா.......

எங்க கல்யாண பெண்ணுக்கென்ன
தென்பாண்டி மீனாட்சி
மஞ்சள் கொண்டாடும் காமாட்சி

பொட்டோடும் பூவோடும் வாழ்க
தமிழ் பண்பாட்டின் அடையாளமாக
எங்க கல்யாண பெண்ணுக்கென்ன
தென்பாண்டி மீனாட்சி
மஞ்சள் கொண்டாடும் காமாட்சி
