Across the hills, yellow chrysanthemums
Have blossomed, oh they have blossomed!
And my whole heart, filled with longing,
Feels cool and refreshed, so refreshed!
Girls, run over quickly to gather flowers!
For this tender little bird bathing in turmeric,
There is a deep longing in her heart.
A bright, auspicious smile overflows
From the corner of her youthful lips.
For this tender little bird bathing in turmeric,
There is a deep longing in her heart.
A bright, auspicious smile overflows
From the corner of her youthful lips.
Deep within her lightning-bright eyes,
Flows another Courtallam waterfall!
As she puts on her new toe rings,
The celebratory wedding drums will beat loud!
For this tender little bird bathing in turmeric,
There is a deep longing in her heart.
A bright, auspicious smile overflows
From the corner of her youthful lips.
...
The prince of love himself
Will come to garland her!
Hey, seated upon Lord Indra's chariot,
He will carry her away!
Plucking the silver stars,
He will string them into a necklace for her!
If she asks for the bright white moon, he will bring it down!
That dream man who fills her eyes,
Go search where he is!
Chorus: Place a flower garland around him!
For this tender little bird bathing in turmeric,
There is a deep longing in her heart.
A bright, auspicious smile overflows
From the corner of her youthful lips.
Whether he is her uncle or cousin,
This blessed girl must live happily!
Like the cool, peaceful month of Margazhi,
Her heart should stay calm and content!
Over the thorny cactus bush,
Strings of silver jasmine have blossomed!
Hey girl, isn't there a lone crane
Patiently waiting here for this fish?
Playing clever, elusive tricks,
This hen keeps changing its path!
Will the strutting rooster let her get away, my friend?
The traditional groom who wished to tie the wedding knot,
Chorus: Has set up a protective fence around her!
For this tender little bird bathing in turmeric,
There is a deep longing in her heart.
A bright, auspicious smile overflows
From the corner of her youthful lips.
Deep within her lightning-bright eyes,
Flows another Courtallam waterfall!
As she puts on her new toe rings,
The celebratory wedding drums will beat loud!
For this tender little bird bathing in turmeric,
There is a deep longing in her heart.
A bright, auspicious smile overflows
From the corner of her youthful lips.
