Hey hey hey...
Trrrr... aha hey hey!
Good times have dawned!
All my troubles have been forgotten!
Good times have dawned!
All my troubles have been forgotten!
My sister has arrived, riding on the bus!
And this brother is singing out with melodious tunes!
Good times have dawned!
All my troubles have been forgotten!
Good times have dawned!
All my troubles have been forgotten, haan...
Hey Periyasamy...
Everyone who goes to study in the city...
...forgets the village they were born in...
...and settles down right there.
Now that your sister has earned a degree there...
...what is she going to do...
...coming back here to this village?
Hey... my sister...
She will transform this entire village for the better!
Why, she will even help you climb the ladder of success!
Ha... she will earn a great name and make us proud!
She will hoist the flag of victory across this entire land!
She will chop down and crush our hardships...
She will kick even the god of death away...
She smiles softly like a flower and effortlessly steals every heart!
Oh my goodness, look, she is arriving!
Now she will be welcomed in a grand procession through town!
String up garlands made of fresh jasmine flowers!
Good times have dawned!
All my troubles have been forgotten!
Good times have dawned!
All my troubles have been forgotten... hey hey!
Alright, from the way you talk, your sister...
...must be truly wonderful! In that case...
...leave your worries aside, I will marry your sister myself!
Hey... you think my sister would ever settle for a face like yours?
Do you know what kind of bridegroom...
...I am going to find for her?
A man as handsome as Manmatha (the god of love)!
That is the groom who will marry my sister!
I will measure out pure gold to give as her wedding gifts!
A shining golden chariot for my sister!
Looking at how you talk, it seems...
...you won't even let your sister walk on the ground!
Haha, that's right!
I will carry her high upon a palanquin!
I will take her around to show her every corner of the countryside!
I will scatter flowers across all the streets!
I will pave and transform every path she walks!
The moment she arrives, I will tuck her to sleep on a sandalwood bed!
I will apply cooling sandalwood paste on her golden skin!
Why, she is my very life-breath!
From now on, the whole town will talk about her every day!
She isn't just a sister, she is a mother to this brother!
Good times have dawned!
All my troubles have been forgotten!
Good times have dawned!
All my troubles have been forgotten!
My sister has arrived, riding on the bus!
And this brother is singing out with melodious tunes!
Good times have dawned!
All my troubles have been forgotten!
Dandanakka dandanakka daan!
Ada thananana dandanakka thanthanakka!
Thaangirutha thaangirutha thaa...
