The Kandangi saree (traditional cotton saree),
pure as gold,
as it flutters in the breeze,
tells a sweet story.
Oh, brinjal blossom!
Oh, tender dove!
Where is your mind drifting, girl?
Oh, sweet candy syrup!
In your young heart,
what dream are you dreaming?
The Kandangi saree,
pure as gold,
as it flutters in the breeze,
tells a sweet story.
What if you come without a word?
What if we taste heaven?
What if you touch this lovely beauty,
my sweet darling?
What if you come without a word?
What if we taste heaven?
What if you touch this lovely beauty,
my sweet darling?
Without seeing you to my heart's fill,
I cannot bear it, my prince!
Here is your charming rose,
come to cuddle with you!
What is the matter, my red lotus?
Aaa... aa... aa... aa... aa... aa... aa...
What is the matter, my red lotus?
Where are you heading, girl?
As soon as your man arrived,
to tell him the dream you had,
why are you jumping with excitement?
The Kandangi saree,
pure as gold,
as it flutters in the breeze,
tells a sweet story.
Aalolam, aalolam, aalolam,
Aalolam, aalolam, aalolam,
Aalolam, aalolam, aalolam, aalolam,
Aalolam, aalolam, aalolam, mmm...
It turns red at a gentle touch,
this little bird's silky cheek!
Why has it blushed red without even being touched,
my sweet sugarcane?
It turns red at a gentle touch,
this little bird's silky cheek!
Why has it blushed red without even being touched,
my sweet sugarcane?
Mixing honey with millet flour,
lighting the sweet flour lamp,
by the riverbank where fishes swim,
you must make your sacred offering!
Listen to the beats of the wedding drums!
Dum-dum dum-dum dum-dum dum-dum,
Dum-dum dum-dum dum-dum dum!
Listen to the beats of the wedding drums!
Oh sweet root of Ooty, sugary delight!
Like a cluster of fresh coconuts,
this glowing body of yours,
with deep care and vigilance,
look after it well, girl!
The Kandangi saree,
pure as gold,
as it flutters in the breeze,
tells a sweet story.
Oh, brinjal blossom!
Oh, tender dove!
Where is your mind drifting, girl?
Oh, sweet candy syrup!
In your young heart,
what dream are you dreaming?
The Kandangi saree,
pure as gold,
as it flutters in the breeze,
tells a sweet story.
