To marry me,
to marry me,
you will have to go through so much trouble!
Oh, poor thing! Why put yourself through that?
To marry me...
At my wedding, do you know who
must play the nadaswaram (wedding pipe)?
Male: Who? Rajarathinam Pillai?
Female: No, the groom himself must play it as he arrives!
Male: Oh no!
Alright, so where should we hold the wedding?
At the groom's house or the bride's house?
Female: No... no...
On a running train, surrounded by relatives,
we must set up the wedding stage... mm...
On a running train, surrounded by relatives,
we must set up the wedding stage... mm...
The priest must be a foreigner,
and he must chant the mantras in a brand-new style:
"Mangalyam tantunanena" (This sacred thread)
"Mama jeevana hetuna" (is the source of my life)
"Kanthe badhnami subhage" (I tie around your neck, blessed one)
"Tvam jeeva sharadah shatam" (May you live a hundred years)
Festive decorations must sway all along the railway track!
This too is what my sweet heart desires!
To marry me,
you will have to go through so much trouble!
Oh, poor thing! Why put yourself through that?
To marry me...
Alright, with no groom's procession,
the wedding is done. What is next?
Female: Shh... do not be in such a hurry!
For the wedding night,
there will be a groom's procession!
Male: With nadaswaram music?
Female: Absolutely!
With the Nochikuppam Pachaiyappan
band troupe, the groom's procession!
Come, my friend, won't you come?
Won't you come to see the flower-decked bed?
All the scenes you watched daily in the movies,
won't you come, won't you come to see them all?
Come, my friend, won't you come?
Won't you come to see the flower-decked bed?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Carrying a plate of milk and fruit in the groom's hands,
he must enter the bridal room!
Carrying a plate of milk and fruit in the groom's hands,
he must enter the bridal room!
The groom must bow at the bride's feet
and receive her blessings!
In a way that brings happiness to his wife's heart,
he must spend his whole life living by her side!
To marry me,
you will have to go through so much trouble!
Oh, poor thing! Why put yourself through that?
To marry me...
