வானகமே வையகமே வாழ்த்துரைக்க வாருங்கள்
வாராத உறவெனக்கு வந்ததென்று கூறுங்கள்
தேர் கொண்டு வாருங்கள் திருக்கோலம் போடுங்கள்
சீமாட்டி கல்யாண ஊர்வலத்தில் கூடுங்கள்
ஊர்வலத்தில் கூடுங்கள்.........!
O heavens, O world, come to utter your blessings!
Tell everyone that a relationship once impossible has now come to me.
Bring forth the chariot, draw auspicious rangoli patterns.
Gather together in the noble lady's wedding procession!
Gather together in the procession!

ஆரத்தி தட்டோடு வலம் வரும் பெண்கள்
ஆசையில் விளையாடும் மணவாளன் கண்கள்
ஓரத்தில்தான் நின்று ஒரு பார்வை பார்க்க
உள்ளத்தில் உருவாகும் தை மாதப் பொங்கல்
Women circumambulate holding traditional aarathi plates.
The groom's eyes play with desires.
As he stands at the corner and casts a glance,
The joy of the Thai Pongal festival blooms in the heart.
மதுரைக்கு சென்றால் மேகங்களே இதை
மங்கை மீனாட்சிக்கு கூறுங்களேன்
O clouds, if you go to Madurai, this message...
Please tell Goddess Meenakshi.
அன்றொரு நாள் பூங்கோதை கண்ணனை ஆண்டாள்
ஆண்டதினால் அவள் பெயர் கூட ஆண்டாள்
மன்னனின் தோளுக்கு மலர் சூடிக் கொடுத்தாள்
மன்னனின் தோளுக்கு மலர் சூடிக் கொடுத்தாள்
மனதினை நான் காண என்னையும் அழைத்தாள்
On a day in the past, the tender vine Andal ruled over Lord Krishna.
Because she ruled, her very name became Andal.
She offered a garland worn by herself to adorn the King's shoulders.

இனி எந்தன் தேவைக்கு சோதனை இல்லை
இன்று என் நிலை சொல்ல வார்த்தைகள் இல்லை
இனி எந்தன் தேவைக்கு சோதனை இல்லை
கண்ணனின் கைகளில் அடைக்கலம் கொடுத்தேன்
கண்ணனின் கைகளில் அடைக்கலம் கொடுத்தேன்
கல்லிலும் வலுவாக கற்புடன் இருப்பேன்
Today I have no words to express my state of joy.
Henceforth, there are no trials testing my needs.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This classic song expresses the overwhelming joy and devotion of a bride on her wedding day. She invites the sky and the earth to share her happiness, asking the clouds to act as messengers to carry the news of her marriage to sacred deities like Goddess Meenakshi in Madurai and the holy River Ganga in Kashi. Drawing parallels to Goddess Andal's sacred love and surrender to Lord Krishna, the heroine sees her own marriage as a divine union, promising unwavering loyalty and refuge in her groom's care.
