Mango leaf garlands are hanging everywhere,
bless them with all your heart...
Ah... Ah...
What a wedding, oh what a wedding!
A wedding that makes the whole forest shake!
Dancing joyfully to the rustic beats,
that kind of special wedding!
What a wedding, oh what a wedding!
A spicy, lively, grand wedding!
Partying to the rhythm of the drums,
a wedding that brings everyone together!
With the wife's entire heart
filled only with her husband,
and in the groom's heart,
love blooming deep and wide!
With the wife's entire heart
filled only with her husband,
and in the groom's heart,
love blooming deep and wide!
...
Hey, a wedding that gets your feet dancing,
a wedding that leaves everyone in wonder,
bringing fresh joy and life
to all the weary village folks!
A wedding praised by the whole town,
a wedding celebrated by every relative,
and waiting with open arms
for all of your sincere blessings!
A tight-knit crowd full of pure love,
this is our very own neighborhood!
Rich aromas rise from huge pots,
tasty dishes boil in giant cauldrons,
a grand feast ready for everyone to eat!
With the wife's entire heart
filled only with her husband,
and in the groom's heart,
love blooming deep and wide!
With the wife's entire heart
filled only with her husband,
and in the groom's heart,
love blooming deep and wide!
What a wedding, oh what a wedding!
A wedding that makes the forest shake!
Dancing joyfully to the rustic beats,
that kind of special wedding!
What a wedding, oh what a wedding!
A spicy, lively, grand wedding!
Partying to the rhythm of the drums,
a wedding that brings everyone together!
The wife's...
With the wife's entire heart
filled only with her husband,
and in the groom's heart,
love blooming deep and wide!
Mango leaf garlands are hanging everywhere,
bless them with all your heart...
Mango leaf garlands are hanging everywhere,
bless them with all your heart...
That kind of special wedding!
