The day...
This very day!
The time...
A wonderful, auspicious time!
The bride...
She's our uncle's daughter!
The groom...
A very, very fine...
groom indeed!
For my uncle's daughter,
Hey hey!
the wedding date is set!
Hey hey hey!
For my uncle's daughter,
the wedding date is set!
With garlands and drums, it's a celebration!
In front of the wedding canopy,
tie two fresh banana trees!
Bring customary wedding gifts of gold,
and offer them on silver platters!
We have come to sing for the bride
the traditional Nalangu (wedding ritual) song!
For my uncle's daughter,
Hey hey hey hey!
the wedding date is set!
Ha ha ha ha!
For my uncle's daughter,
the wedding date is set!
Like a radiant star
floating across the sky,
we bring her down to earth
and give her as our precious bridal gift!
As her maternal uncles,
our hearts overflow with boundless love!
Even the lullabies for the future,
we are going to sing right now!
With mango leaves and coconut fronds,
hang festive decorations!
The wedding hall, just like heaven,
must be transformed!
Bring mats for the feast
and spread them out neatly!
Serve the feast with care and warmth!
We didn't dress up in silk-bordered dhotis
just to show off,
nor did we question
how the garlands were exchanged!
We just eat whatever is served,
and happily do all the work!
For my uncle's daughter,
Hey hey hey hey!
the wedding date is set!
Hey hey hey hey!
Along the path where the groom arrives,
scatter flowers everywhere!
Around the wedding stage,
string garlands of sweet jasmine!
Adorn her with flowers, place a dot on her forehead,
and line the bride's eyes with kohl!
A tiny spot on her cheek to ward off the evil eye,
place it right now!
In peace, joy, and prosperity,
may you always live!
Nothing but pure happiness
must rule your lives!
Give birth to two sweet children
and bring them into the world!
And we, their uncles,
will sing sweet lullabies to them!
All kinds of happy thoughts
are rising in our minds!
What is it, dear bride?
Look, the bride's face is blushing shyly!
Beat the wedding drums!
Strike the joyful rhythm!
For my uncle's daughter,
Hey hey ha ha!
the wedding date is set!
Hey hey hey hey!
For my uncle's daughter,
Hey hey hey hey!
the wedding date is set!
Hoo hoo hoo hoo!
For my uncle's daughter,
the wedding date is set!
