With love, we have become one
And the joy we celebrate fills the heart
My dearest darling, precious as my eyes, I came singing a melody
I will live my entire life only with you
With love, we have become one
I wore fresh flowers
I wore auspicious turmeric
The lamp of love,
I have lit
He gave me this blessed time
And showered his kindness on me
Holding a garland in his hands, he stood beside me
Our eyes meet and deep affection overflows
He blessed me in sweet, flower-like Tamil
My thoughts... mm... have a golden glow
There is joy everywhere
Thum thum-thum-thum tha-thum-thum
With love, we have become one
And the joy we celebrate fills the heart
All through time,
Speaking words of poetry,
I will dance in your arms and live my life
As sweetness leaps across the entire sky,
I will stay joined with you, eye to eye
I seek a good blessing, I seek all good things
I ask for them with a pure heart
My heart... mm... is your home
There is joy everywhere
Thum thum-thum-thum tha-thum-thum
With love, we have become one
And the joy we celebrate fills the heart
My dearest darling, precious as my eyes, I came singing a melody
I will live my entire life only with you
With love, we have become one
And the joy we celebrate fills the heart
