O mango cuckoo, O blossom cuckoo,
Listen to this piece of news:
The day that comes looking to garland you in marriage,
Which day will that be?
O mango cuckoo, O blossom cuckoo,
Listen to this piece of news:
The day that comes looking to garland you in marriage,
Which day will that be?
Drawn by your sparkling, pearl-like eyes,
I came following right behind you.
Drawn by your sparkling, pearl-like eyes,
I came following right behind you.
O mango cuckoo, O blossom cuckoo,
Listen to this piece of news:
(Female) The day that comes looking to garland you in marriage,
Which day will that be?
Hugging close around your ankle,
Is that anklet of golden beads, my girl;
To turn into that anklet myself,
My heart now longs.
When you already live deep inside me,
Why talk of staying on the outside, my love?
I cannot understand a single thing,
Where has my heart wandered off to?
This heart is fertile land,
And a good seed has fallen into it.
With the moon alone as our witness,
The story we shared has become our own true story.
To hold my shoulders and take me as your own,
To step into heaven together,
As the wedding garland rests upon us,
For this golden girl to give her consent,
Fresh sandalwood paste must be mixed
And smoothed gently over me.
All the love and devotion of this Muthaiyan,
Every bit of it belongs to you!
O mango cuckoo, O blossom cuckoo,
Listen to this piece of news:
(Male) The day that comes looking to garland you in marriage,
Which day will that be?
Standing beneath the mango tree,
As that young girl was singing,
Charmed by that girl's sweet voice,
Whose heart was completely spellbound?
Underneath the flowering tree,
As that golden girl was bathing,
From atop that very tree,
Who was sitting and sighing in longing?
Thinking of you, this young heart
Suffers in longing all alone.
Pouring out heaps of precious joy,
Vibrant dreams sprinkle all around.
The auspicious bridal silk saree,
Along with a wedding garland,
The moment you bring them for me,
This golden girl will bloom like a fragrant grove.
Tying the sacred thali (wedding thread),
Thinking of that blessed moment,
My heart searches for you,
And my youthful age sings with joy!
O mango cuckoo, O blossom cuckoo,
Listen to this piece of news:
(Female) The day that comes looking to garland you in marriage,
Which day will that be?
Drawn by your sparkling, pearl-like eyes,
I came following right behind you.
Drawn by your sparkling, pearl-like eyes,
I came following right behind you.
O mango cuckoo, O blossom cuckoo,
Listen to this piece of news:
(Female) The day that comes looking to garland you in marriage,
Which day will that be?
