இந்த கல்யாணம் இன்ப கல்யாணம்
இது காதல் வைபோகம்
இந்த கல்யாணம் இன்ப கல்யாணம்
இது காதல் வைபோகம்
This wedding is a joyful wedding,
This is a grand celebration of love.
This wedding is a joyful wedding,
This is a grand celebration of love.
மலர் மாலைகள் சூடும் மண நாள் இதுவே
சுப லாலிகள் பாடும் சுப நாள் இதுவே
This is the wedding day where flower garlands are worn,
This is the auspicious day when sweet blessings are sung.
இந்த கல்யாணம் இன்ப கல்யாணம்
இது காதல் வைபோகம்
This wedding is a joyful wedding,
This is a grand celebration of love.
ஒன்றான உள்ளங்கள் எந்நாளும் மாறாது
நீரோடு நீர் சேர்ந்தால் பேதம் தோன்றாது
பூ மங்கையே இனி இந்த நாணம் ஆகாது
பூ மங்கையே இனி இந்த நாணம் ஆகாது
Hearts that have united as one will never change,
When water merges with water, no distinction remains.
Oh flower-like maiden, shyness is no longer needed now,
Oh flower-like maiden, shyness is no longer needed now.
அந்நேரம் முந்தானை மெல்ல நழுவும்
ஆளேதும் காணாமல் வந்து தழுவும்
பெண் : அம்மாடியோ காலை நேரம்
மை பூசும் உன் கண்கள் பொய் பேசும்
At that moment, the pallu slowly slips away,
Without anyone noticing, he arrives to embrace.
Female: Oh my goodness, it is morning time,
Your kohl-adorned eyes are speaking lies.
இந்த கல்யாணம் இன்ப கல்யாணம்
இது காதல் வைபோகம்
This wedding is a joyful wedding,
This is a grand celebration of love.
உழைக்கின்ற வர்க்கங்கள் ஒன்றாக சேராதோ
பேதங்கள் பாராமல் சொந்தங்கள் ஆகாதோ
வாழும் இனம் இனி பொற்காலம் காணாதோ
வாழும் இனம் இனி பொற்காலம் காணாதோ
Will not the working classes unite as one?
Will they not become kin, disregarding differences?
Male: Will not the living populace witness a golden age now?
Will not the living populace witness a golden age now?
சங்கீத கச்சேரி இன்று வழங்க
சம்மந்தி மேளங்கள் கொட்டி முழங்க
தள்ளாடியே பூவும் பூவும்
ஒன்றோடு ஒன்றாகி செண்டாக.....
As a musical concert is presented today,
As the celebratory drums beat loudly in harmony.
Male: Swaying gently, flowers and flowers,
Uniting with one another into a bouquet...
இந்த கல்யாணம் இன்ப கல்யாணம்
இது காதல் வைபோகம்
மலர் மாலைகள் சூடும் மண நாள் இதுவே
ஆஅ.....ஆஹ்
சுப லாலிகள் பாடும் சுப நாள் இதுவே
