The sounds of wedding are in the air,
From now on, my life will revolve around you.
Dummukku dumma dummarey!
He arrived grinning from ear to ear,
To stand beside this gorgeous girl,
He found his true fortune.. hey hey!
Dummukku dumma dummarey!
He arrived glowing with joy,
Decked out with graceful palm-leaf festoons,
Let the whole town rise up and celebrate.. hey hey!
A beauty the seven continents have never seen,
A stunning goddess has arrived!
And the groom, having stolen the bride's
Heart, stands happily by her side!
When the girl smiled just a little,
She blew you completely away.
Now the groom keeps reciting the bride's name,
Over and over like this!
The sounds of wedding are in the air,
From now on, my life will revolve around you.
For one tiny, little kiss,
I gave my entire self away!
Dummukku dumma dummarey!
He arrived grinning from ear to ear,
To stand beside this gorgeous girl,
He found his true fortune.. hey hey!
The adorned beauty walks forward,
With love, the lovely belle arrives,
Graceful and buzzing with charm she comes,
Like a vibrant festival chariot!
To bring unfading auspicious blessings,
To bring everlasting kumkum (sacred red mark),
As the wedding drums beat loud and fast,
Will fragrant rosewater sprinkle all around?
Has the elephant arrived for the grand feast?
Haaa... aaaa... aa...
Has she offered herself up to this elephant-sized hunger?
What if she asks back what she gave, with interest?
(Male) In this battle of warm embraces,
Brushing close without ever burning out,
I blazed like fire, overcome by your beauty!
Even when trying to break free,
Finding no way out, searching endlessly,
I lost myself across many oceans, my lovely one!
Is this a sweet intoxication?
(Female) Did lightning strike you too?
(Male) Or is it a dizzying spell that leaves you shaken? Aah...
