An auspicious day that is sweet to even think about,
On this day, my heart dreams its dreams.
They will come true and bring good fortune,
Guiding me onto a brand new path.
An auspicious day that is sweet to even think about,
On this day, my heart dreams its dreams.
They will come true and bring good fortune,
Guiding me onto a brand new path.
An auspicious day that is sweet to even think about.
Seeking me out, it will come to me,
Great wealth and good fortune will join me.
Offering a honey-fragrant wedding garland,
Joy will blossom in my heart.
Seeking me out, it will come to me,
Great wealth and good fortune will join me.
Offering a honey-fragrant wedding garland,
Joy will blossom in my heart.
I will live just like a queen,
Buying everything my heart desires.
Saying that life in this world is pure joy,
I will sing a song and dance.
An auspicious day that is sweet to even think about,
On this day, my heart dreams its dreams.
They will come true and bring good fortune,
Guiding me onto a brand new path.
An auspicious day that is sweet to even think about.
Where cool breezes blow in the summer heat,
I will make my home in Kodaikanal.
He will pamper me with sweet affection,
And I will playfully sulk with pretend anger.
Where cool breezes blow in the summer heat,
I will make my home in Kodaikanal.
He will pamper me with sweet affection,
And I will playfully sulk with pretend anger.
I will switch to a new car every day,
And drive it around in grand style.
Saying that life in this world is pure joy,
I will sing a song and dance.
An auspicious day that is sweet to even think about,
On this day, my heart dreams its dreams.
They will come true and bring good fortune,
Guiding me onto a brand new path.
An auspicious day that is sweet to even think about.
