நம் வீட்டில் எப்போதும்
On my elder brother's shoulders
She became a flower garland
With love, our home
She became the queen who rules it
Early morning auspicious hymns
Will now be heard in our home forever

அண்ணி உன் வடிவில்
அன்னையை பார்த்தேன்
அன்பினை பார்த்தேன்
இந்த சொந்தம் ஒரு ஆனந்தம்
Sister-in-law, in your form
I saw a mother
I saw true love
This relationship is sheer bliss
ஒன்றில் ஒன்றாக
நெஞ்சங்கள் கலக்கும்
பிறர்க்கென துடிக்கும்
இந்த வாழ்க்கை ஒரு ஆனந்தம்
Uniting into one
Our hearts mingle
Beating for others
This life is sheer bliss
திருமணங்கள் எல்லாமே
சொர்க்கத்திலே முடிவாகும்
அண்ணி இவள் திருமணமோ
சொர்க்கத்தையே உருவாக்கும்
All marriages
Are decided in heaven
But sister-in-law's marriage
Creates heaven itself
நீங்கள் தரும் அன்பினிலே
குழந்தையென மாறுது என் மணம்
In the love that you shower
My heart turns into that of a child
ஓ..ஹோ
ஓ..ஹோ

அழகான மல்லிப்பூ
பொண்ண பாரு
வெக்கத்தால் ரோசாவா
மாறுது பாரு
கன்னத்தில் கொஞ்சம் சந்தனம் பூசு
காதோடு காதல் சங்கதி பேசு
ம்ம்...ம்ம்...ம்ம்ம்....ம்ம்ம்....
Look at this golden girl like a beautiful jasmine
Look at her turning into a rose out of shyness
Apply a little sandalwood paste on her cheek
Whisper sweet words of love into her ear
Mm...mmm...mmm...m.mm....
தம்பி உன் குறும்பை
இவள் மிக ரசிப்பாள்
தவறுகள் செய்தால்
தாயை போல இவள் கண்டிப்பாள்
Younger brother... your mischiefs
She will thoroughly enjoy
If you make mistakes
She will discipline you like a mother
தம்பி நீ இரவில் தாமதமாக
வீட்டுக்கு வந்தால்
முட்டி போடச்சொல்லி தண்டிப்பாள்
Younger brother, if you come home late at night
When you come home
She will punish you by making you kneel down
எதிர்த்து என்னை ஜெயிப்பதற்கு
யாருமில்லை முன்னாலே
அண்ணி ஒரு சொல் சொன்னால்
அடங்கிடுவேன் அன்பாலே
To stand up and defeat me
There was no one before
If sister-in-law says a single word
I will yield out of love
இறைவனுக்கு நன்றி சொல்வோம்
இவள் நமக்கு கிடைத்தது ஒரு வரம்
Let us offer our thanks to God
Getting her is a blessing for us
