கல்யாண ஊர்வலம் வரும்
கல்யாண ஊர்வலம் வரும்
உல்லாசமே தரும்
மகிழ்ந்து நான் ஆடிடுவேன்
ஓ மகிழ்ந்து நான் ஆடிடுவேன்
The wedding procession will arrive
The wedding procession will arrive
It will bring pure joy
I will dance with happiness
Oh, I will dance with happiness
கல்யாண ஊர்வலம் வரும்
உல்லாசமே தரும்
மகிழ்ந்து நான் ஆடிடுவேன்
ஓ மகிழ்ந்து நான் ஆடிடுவேன்
The wedding procession will arrive
It will bring pure joy
I will dance with happiness
Oh, I will dance with happiness
மாப்பிள்ளை நுதலின் திலகம் போலே
மணமகள் எழில் சிந்தவே
மணமகள் எழில் சிந்தவே
பார்த்திட எந்தன் உள்ளத்தின் கனவே
பூர்த்தி பெறும் விரைவே
பூர்த்தி பெறும் விரைவே
Like the tilak on the groom's forehead
As the bride spills her grace and beauty
As the bride spills her grace and beauty
To see the dream of my inner heart
Fulfilled very quickly
Fulfilled very quickly
சிங்காரம் செய்வாள் சேடியே
மருதாணி சூடியே
மகிழ்ந்து நான் ஆடிடுவேன் ஓ
மகிழ்ந்து நான் ஆடிடுவேன்
கல்யாண ஊர்வலம் வரும்.......
The companion adorns herself beautifully
Wearing henna on her hands
I will dance with joy, oh...
I will dance with joy
The wedding procession will arrive
கல்யாண பெண்ணும் பிள்ளை பல்லக்கில் ஏறி
செல்வார் விரைந்து வெளியூர் ஆ.....ஆ....ஆ....
கணம் கணம் அவர்கள் ஞாபகம் வந்தால்
கருத்தும் கலங்கிடுமே கருத்தும் கலங்கிடுமே
The bride and groom ascending the palanquin
Will depart quickly to another town, ah... ah... ah...
Every single moment, if their memory comes to mind
My mind will grow troubled, my mind will grow troubled
கண் சிந்தும் காரின் மழைதான்
மென்மேலும் இருள்தான்
தன்னந்தனி ஆகிடுவேன்
ஓ தன்னந்தனி ஆகிடுவேன்
Tears shed from the eyes like heavy monsoon rain
Darkness deepens more and more
I will be left all alone
Oh, I will be left all alone
கல்யாண ஊர்வலம் வரும்
உல்லாசமே தரும்
மகிழ்ந்து நான் ஆடிடுவேன்
ஓ மகிழ்ந்து நான் ஆடிடுவேன்..............
The wedding procession will arrive
It will bring pure joy
I will dance with happiness
Oh, I will dance with happiness
கல்யாண ஊர்வலம் வரும்
The wedding procession will arrive...
