Kalyaana pandhalilae annaiyai naan kanden
Manamaalai soodi varum thanthaiyai naan kanden
Vizhi neeril vilaiyaada malar thoovi magal vaazhtha
Annaiyum thanthaiyum vaazhiya pallandu
Kalyaana pandhalilae annaiyai naan kanden
Manamaalai soodi varum thanthaiyai naan kanden
Vizhi neeril vilaiyaada malar thoovi magal vaazhtha
Annaiyum thanthaiyum vaazhiya pallandu
Paalaivanam indru poo poothathu
Indha poo pookkavae nalla naal paarthathu
Haaa aa aaa hoo ooo oo oo oo
Naal thorumae ingu deepavali
Ini naal thorumae inba naamavali

Both :Annaiyum thanthaiyum vaazhiya pallandu
Under the wedding canopy, I saw my mother
I saw my father coming, wearing the wedding garland
As tears glisten in her eyes, the daughter showers flowers in blessing
May mother and father live for many long years!
Under the wedding canopy, I saw my mother
I saw my father coming, wearing the wedding garland
As tears glisten in her eyes, the daughter showers flowers in blessing
May mother and father live for many long years!
Today, the desert has blossomed with flowers
It waited for this auspicious day just to bloom
Ha aa aa, ho oo oo o o o
Every single day here is Deepavali
From now on, every day is a chant of pure joy
Knowing that you are husband and wife,
and holding true peace in your hearts,
you must shower your blessings on us,
and because of you, we will flourish
After all, aren't we the garlands resting on your shoulders?
Under the wedding canopy, I saw my mother
I saw my father coming, wearing the wedding garland
As tears glisten in her eyes, the daughter showers flowers in blessing
Both: May mother and father live for many long years!
The one who is my mother has become my child
She bathed me in her tears of joy
Ha aa aa aa... ha... aa... aa... aa... aa...
Father's heart is a peaceful, sacred garden
The fragrance of the wedding garland lulls me like a lullaby
Here stands a temple of love,
with a thousand lamps glowing inside
Long live the lamps that have been lit!
Long live this beautiful married life!
Mother, may the kumkum (sacred red mark) on your forehead bring endless blessings!
Under the wedding canopy, I saw my mother
I saw my father coming, wearing the wedding garland
As tears glisten in her eyes, the daughter showers flowers in blessing
Both: May mother and father live for many long years!
