Naaan aduppoothuven sambhar rasam seiguven
Nalla parimaaruven naan beeman thambi

Groom, oh groom!
In the Mannankatti grove,
Groom, oh groom!
In the Mannankatti grove,
Lost in thoughts of your sister's daughter,
Oh poor thing, you haven't eaten!
Lost in thoughts of your sister's daughter,
Oh poor thing, you haven't eaten!
We have eight conditions here;
If you agree, you can have the bride!
We have eight conditions here;
If you agree, you can have the bride!
Do you agree? Tell us... do you agree?
The bride will not do any kitchen work;
Sir, this is our condition number one!
I will light the hearth and cook,
I will cook the sambar and rasam,
And serve it well—I am like Bhima's brother!
If you look at another woman, you will be punished;
Sir, this is our condition number two!
My wife is like the divine beauty Rambha herself;
My heart will never stray—I am loyal like Rama's brother!
Groom, oh groom!
In the Mannankatti grove,
Lost in thoughts of your sister's daughter,
Oh poor thing, you haven't eaten!
We have eight conditions here;
If you agree, you can have the bride!
Do you agree? Tell us... do you agree?
The husband must wash and hang his wife's saris;
Sir, this is our condition number three!
Aha, her blouses, cholis, and skirts,
I will wash them all myself!
Aha, her blouses, cholis, and skirts,
I will wash them all myself!
Isn't that pure joy?
When a baby is born, the person to rock the cradle
Must be you, sir—this is condition number four!
I will sing lullabies,
I will sing lullabies and lovingly pamper the baby,
I will bottle-feed milk and happily be the nanny!
Groom, oh groom!
In the Mannankatti grove,
Lost in thoughts of your sister's daughter,
Oh poor thing, you haven't eaten!
We have eight conditions here;
If you agree, you can have the bride!
Do you agree? Tell us... do you agree?
If you find fault with her, my sister's heart will ache;
You must adjust and get along—this is condition number five!
I will never argue back or be stubborn,
Nor will I ever boss her around!
Sir, here are rules six, seven, and eight;
Listen to the remaining conditions and tie the wedding knot!
Whether it is eight or eight hundred,
You don't even need to say them—
I am already my wife's devoted servant!
Groom, oh groom!
Male: Oho!
Female: In the Mannankatti grove,
Male: Aha!
Lost in thoughts of your sister's daughter,
Male: Oho!
Female: Oh poor thing, you haven't eaten!
We have eight conditions here;
Male: Aha!
Female: If you agree, you can have the bride!
Male: Oho!
Female: Do you agree? Tell us... do you agree?
Male: Mmm!
