From now on, it is indeed a good time
As my thoughts turn into pure gold
It is a time when dreams come true, ohoo
From now on, it is indeed a good time
As my thoughts turn into pure gold
It is a time when dreams come true
Gather the lily flowers and weave a garland of jasmine blossoms
From now on, it is indeed a good time
Hey, from now on, it is indeed a good time, ah ah
Play the golden veena, handsome dear one
Tell me, my beloved, when is our wedding time?
What does the day or time matter for us to unite?
Scooping honey and gently touching, as we join together
Draped in silk like a flower, she is right beside me
What you showered upon me in abundance is only now
This girl holds deep desire for you
She possesses an affection the world has never seen
This girl holds deep desire for you
She possesses an affection the world has never seen
Male: I chose you openly after declaring it
I stored my love treasured as if in heaven
From now on, it is indeed a good time
Male: Hey, from now on, it is indeed a good time...
………………………
Look with your eyes, I will heap gold for you
Whisper in my ear, and I shall grant you everything
Like the gentle breeze around a flower, staying by my side
It is enough if you come and join me, my dear
To spread flowers upon the bed and cherish you
Look, every passing day is here to rock us to sleep
Before my very eyes flows the Kaveri river itself
At this moment, we merge as one within each other
Before my very eyes flows the Kaveri river itself
At this moment, we merge as one within each other
Female: Our bond of kinship has finally united, my dear
All our sorrow has truly vanished, my dear... aaa... aa... aa..
From now on, it is indeed a good time
As my thoughts turn into pure gold
It is a time when dreams come true
From now on, it is indeed a good time
As my thoughts turn into pure gold
It is a time when dreams come true
Gather the lily flowers and weave a garland of jasmine blossoms
From now on, it is indeed a good time
Male: Hey, from now on, it is indeed a good time...
