Ask the wild jasmine, ask the garden jasmine,
Ask the blooming water lily,
My rightful groom is Rajini in every way!
Ask the lizard, ask the bird,
Ask the snail in the green paddy field,
He alone is my Ghajini!
He kisses with the passion of Kamal,
He spins and fights with the style of Vijay,
All eight directions will look with envy
At such a wonderful young man!
To sweep me up so tenderly in his arms,
Who could ever be his match?
All eight directions
Will look with envy,
At such a wonderful young man!
To sweep me up so tenderly in his arms,
Who could ever be his match?
Dressed in crisp spotless white,
If you see him walking up to you,
Both the mullai and the jasmine flowers
Will blush deep red with shy delight, oh my!
Like the auspicious red kumkum,
When I describe the love he pours on me,
Like pure silver and bright gold,
It shines with brilliance, tell me friend!
Even if wealth and comforts pile up around us,
For my man whose character never changes,
How could I ever praise him enough?
Just like the mother who gave him birth,
Showing the deepest maternal care,
I will hold him to my chest and sing him a lullaby.
Until the sky dries up completely,
As long as this earth keeps spinning,
He is the finest man in the entire world!
Ask the wild jasmine, ask the garden jasmine,
Ask the blooming water lily,
My rightful groom is Rajini in every way!
Surrounded by children and family,
Just to embrace and hold his heart close,
Everything I have in my life,
I will give him, one by one.
Spinning around like a top,
Eager to do every single thing he asks,
Always devoted as his shadow,
I will live ready to serve at his every word!
Without giving him any trouble at all,
Day in and day out, my beloved man,
I must protect him like the apple of my eye.
Without ever leaving his side as long as I live,
Speaking sweet words to my man,
I want to shower him with love and feed him with my hands.
While the whole town speaks high praise of him,
I have no other worry in the world.
Truly, I have woven his presence into my very breath!
Ask the wild jasmine, ask the garden jasmine,
Ask the blooming water lily,
My rightful groom is Rajini in every way!
Ask the lizard, ask the bird,
Ask the snail in the green paddy field,
He alone is my Ghajini!
He kisses with the passion of Kamal,
He spins and fights with the style of Vijay,
All eight directions will look with envy
At such a wonderful young man!
To sweep me up so tenderly in his arms,
Who could ever be his match?
All eight directions
Will look with envy,
At such a wonderful young man!
To sweep me up so tenderly in his arms,
Who could ever be his match?
