Kuru kuru machaan kannil

With wide, curious eyes, my cousin,
Has an unfamiliar shyness in his eyes.
A lively, energetic girl,
Now stands newly tongue-tied.
Fidgeting back and forth,
She catches her breath nearby.
Wondering what she might say,
Her thoughts keep racing wildly.
Bring the sun to perform aarathi (welcoming flame ritual),
Bring the moon to light the lamp at the doorway,
Turn all the stars into festive garlands,
And string them up for our family's princess who has come of age!
Turn all the stars into festive garlands,
And string them up for our family's princess who has come of age!
Bring the sun to perform aarathi (welcoming flame ritual),
Bring the moon to light the lamp at the doorway,
Look at the feast spread out,
Hey, come on and take a seat!
All my dear relatives,
Hurry up and sit in the front row!
Blast the loudspeakers loud,
And break into a dance!
To speak your heart out freely,
Gather together as one big crowd!
My heart is filled with pure joy,
Isn't this what family and kin are for?
My heart is filled with pure joy,
After all, these loved ones are all mine!
With wide, curious eyes, my cousin,
Has an unfamiliar shyness in his eyes.
A lively, energetic girl,
Now stands newly tongue-tied.
Fidgeting back and forth,
She catches her breath nearby.
Wondering what she might say,
Her thoughts keep racing wildly.

The lyrics capture both the delicate, nervous emotions of the young girl facing her cousin's playful gaze and the grand, vibrant joy of the entire family uniting for a festive banquet.
