In the gentle drizzle of Kodaikanal...
Aa... aa... aa... aa... aa... aa...
In the gentle drizzle of Kodaikanal,
a rare Kurinji blossom sways gracefully.
For the lover who came along,
today is the day to embrace and wear it.
Every single day, the god of love
arrives riding his chariot.

On all the days without you,
I felt like I was sleeping on sharp thorns.
Through all the long nights,

For how long must I suffer
this painful struggle?

won't sweet waves surge inside my heart?
My dear, listen to our wedding story today!
