For being blessed with a wonderful wife,
I offer my heartfelt thanks to you.
I received you as my life partner,
as the reward of my past penance.
This bond between us will never fade,
it is a full moon that never wanes.
That day, I placed a garland of flowers on you,
today, I sing a garland of songs for you.
For being blessed with a wonderful wife,
I offer my heartfelt thanks to you.
Just as a shell looks up to the sky, when you looked at me,
an oyster shell, a colorful shell,
as the rain drops fell into it, there formed
a pearl, a tiny pearl.
In another six or seven months,
a sweet lullaby will be heard in this house.
With eyes like golden avaram flowers,
my child will gaze at its father.
All the sweet kisses you gave me every day,
will now belong entirely to our child.
Begging you for just one or two,
I will have to ask you.
For having become your wife,
I offer my thanks to God.
I received you as my life partner,
as the reward of my past penance.
This bond between us will never fade, my love,
it is a full moon that never wanes.
Mmm... mmm... mmm...
A golden deer and a shimmering red fish,
I saw in your eyes, yes, in your eyes.
A river of milk and a river of honey,
I found in you, my darling, right in you.
The home I share with you
is a woodland blossoming with joy.
It is a nest where lovebirds unite,
and nothing in this world can match it.
My wife arrived in my life
like a gentle, playful breeze.
My child has arrived
like a lovely jasmine blossom.
Queen among women, my golden queen,
who could ever compare to you?
For having become your wife,
I offer my thanks to God.
I received you as my life partner,
as the reward of my past penance.
This bond between us will never fade, my love,
it is a full moon that never wanes.
That day, I placed a garland of flowers on you,
today, I sing a garland of songs for you.
For having become your wife,
I offer my thanks to God.
