Kalyaana melam kottum kaalam
Kai neettum thooram vandhathae
Kannadi valayala pola
Annan nenju vannamanadhae
Ooril oor theraai
Naan veedhiyengum suthi varuven
Vaazha mara kolayaa
Ada thangatchikku vekkam vandhathae
Kayil maruthaani
Kaathil thirukaani
Male :Pattuselai pattampoochiyae..
Kalyaana melam kottum kaalam
Kai neettum thooram vandhathe
Hoo…hoo ooo..
Machanin veettukkul
Thangatchi vaala
Seer vaangavae….
Sonthangal banthangal
Ellarum sernthu
Naam pogirom
Alagaai seer settu
Koora podavayo kaanchipattu
Kaluthil nagai nattu
Ada palapala varisai thattu
Thaalikodi vaangida porom
Thangatchi thaan vaazhnthidavaee…
Kalyaana melam kottum kaalam
Kai neettum thooram vandhathe
Chorus :Kannadi valayala pola
Annan nenju vannamanadhae
Themmangu kacheri
Ammanin kaadhil
Naan ketkiren
Minsaaram engaeyum
Kannadi kolam
Naan paarkiren
Pala naal aasai thaan
Athu palithathu thaaye thaaye
Oor poo meedhu
Siru panithuli neeye neeye
Santhanathil neenthidum thangaiyae
Santhosathai naan arindhen
Kalyaana melam kottum kaalam
Kai neettum thooram vandhathae
Kannadi valayala pola
Annan nenju vannamanadhae
Ooril oor theraai
Naan veedhiyengum suthi varuven
Vaazha mara kolayaa
Ada thangatchikku vekkam vandhathae
Kayil maruthaani
Kaathil thirukaani
Pattuselai pattampoochiyae..
Kalyaana melam kottum kaalam
Kai neettum thooram vandhathae

The time for wedding drums to beat
has come within an arm's reach.
Like colorful glass bangles,
this brother's heart has turned colorful.
Like a temple chariot in our town,
I will go all around every street.
Like a bunch on a plantain tree,
look, my little sister is blushing with shyness!
Henna on your hands,
studs in your ears,
you butterfly in a silk saree...
The time for wedding drums to beat
has come within an arm's reach.
Hoo... hoo oh...
In your groom's home,
for my little sister to live happily,
to buy the bridal gifts...
All our relatives and kin,
coming together as one,
we are on our way.
A lovely set of bridal gifts,
a Kanchipuram silk wedding saree,
gold jewelry for your neck,
and rows of loaded gift trays!
We are going to buy the sacred wedding thali (marriage necklace),
so my little sister can live a blessed life...
The time for wedding drums to beat
has come within an arm's reach.
Like colorful glass bangles,
this brother's heart has turned colorful.
A sweet folk tune
in the ears of the goddess,
I can hear it singing.
Bright lights everywhere,
shining like a glittering glass kolam (decorative floor art),
I see it all around.
A wish held for so many days,
it has finally come true, O Mother Goddess!
Like a tiny drop of dew
resting on a flower, that is you.
My little sister, bathed in fragrant sandalwood,
I have known what true happiness is!
The time for wedding drums to beat
has come within an arm's reach.
Like colorful glass bangles,
this brother's heart has turned colorful.
Like a temple chariot in our town,
I will go all around every street.
Like a bunch on a plantain tree,
look, my little sister is blushing with shyness!
Henna on your hands,
studs in your ears,
you butterfly in a silk saree...
The time for wedding drums to beat
has come within an arm's reach.
Hoo... hoo oh...
