காத்துக் கிடந்த நாளும் வந்ததே
மஞ்சள் முகத்தில் நாணம் தந்ததே
மாலை வந்த இரவே போ போ
மாலையுடன் பகலே வா வா
The long-awaited day has finally arrived
It brought a bashful blush to my turmeric-adorned face
Go away, night that arrived in the evening, go away
Come, daytime with the wedding garland, come, come
காத்துக் கிடந்த நாளும் வந்ததே
மஞ்சள் முகத்தில் நாணம் தந்ததே
The long-awaited day has finally arrived
It brought a bashful blush to my turmeric-adorned face
எனை இன்றுத்தள்ளி நானும் ரசித்தேன்
புதுவித போதை கண்ணில் ருசித்தேன்
முதல்முறை பெண்மையாகி மலர்ந்தேன்
அவன் வரும் பாதை பார்த்துக் கிடந்தேன்
Today, I stepped back and admired myself
I tasted a new kind of intoxication in my eyes
For the first time, I bloomed completely into womanhood
I lay waiting, watching the path he would arrive on
எப்போ வருவான் வருவான்
எப்போ வருவான் ஓஹோ…….
எப்போ வருவான் வருவான்
என்று காத்துக்கிடந்தேன்
When will he come, when will he come?
When will he come, ho..
When will he come, when will he come?
Thus I lay in eager anticipation
வருவேன் வருவேன்
வந்தால் தருவேன் தருவேன்
ஆசை உருக
உயிர் முத்தம் ஒரு கோடி
I will come, I will come
When I arrive, I will give, I will give
As longing and desire melt away
Ten million soul-deep kisses
விரைவினில் வருவேன் வருவேன்
வந்தால் தருவேன் தருவேன்
தேகம் இருக
என்னை சேர்த்து கட்டிக்கோடி
Swiftly I will come, I will come
When I arrive.. I will give, I will give
As our bodies hold tight
Embrace me and hold me close
காத்துக் கிடந்த நாளும் வந்ததே
மஞ்சள் முகத்தில் நாணம் தந்ததே
The long-awaited day has finally arrived
It brought a bashful blush to my turmeric-adorned face
சேர்ந்து நினைத்தேன்
நேற்று எனை நான்
தாயாகி சுமப்பேன்
நாளை முதல் நான்
I reflected deeply together
Yesterday upon myself
I shall bear life as a mother
Starting tomorrow, I
குடும்ப உறவின்
காதல் உணர்ந்து
உன்னைச் சேர்ந்து வாழ்வேன்
அன்பில் வெல்வேன்
In family bonds
Realizing love
I will live united with you
Through love.... I shall conquer
ஓ…காத்துக் கிடந்த நாளும் வந்ததே
மஞ்சள் முகத்தில் நாணம் தந்ததே
மாலை வந்த இரவே போ போ
மாலையுடன் பகலே வா வா
Ho.. the long-awaited day has finally arrived
It brought a bashful blush to my turmeric-adorned face
Go away, night that arrived in the evening, go away
Come, daytime with the wedding garland, come, come
காத்துக் கிடந்த நாளும் வந்ததே
மஞ்சள் முகத்தில் நாணம் தந்ததே
The long-awaited day has finally arrived
It brought a bashful blush to my turmeric-adorned face
எனை இன்றுத்தள்ளி நானும் ரசித்தேன்
புதுவித போதை கண்ணில் ருசித்தேன்
