One man for one woman—
holding the rightful claim to be his,
I am Kannagi, the graceful peacock.
As the gems of the anklet spilled and his heart broke,
in the royal court of my lord,
I am Madhavi who danced.
Gathering flowers to adorn her hair,
holding his hand at the wedding altar,
she is the virtuous woman of noble family.
Though I bear the name of a dancer,
surrendering to one man as my husband,
she is the devoted woman who gave her heart.
One man for one woman—
holding the rightful claim to be his,
I am Kannagi, the graceful peacock.
The garland I placed on him,
you must never touch—go away!
Every single evening, your protector
came seeking my doorstep!
A woman with no modesty at all,
is she a woman? Isn't she a demoness?
One who does not satisfy hunger when it strikes,
is not sweet fruit, but raw and bitter!
Into another woman's household,
is it right to force your way in?
Having two eyes on one face,
is that something wrong?
He was born just for me!
Yet he came into my life and united with me!
Why carry this bitterness anymore?
Why this quarrel between the two of us?
One man for one woman—
holding the rightful claim to be his,
I am Rukmini, precious like his pupil.
As our lord steered the chariot,
holding the reins on the battlefield,
this woman known as Satyabhama
is a blossoming beauty herself.
Like the flute he cradles in his hands,
such is the bond I have with him.
Beloved Krishna's Vrindavan
is forever tied to Satyabhama!
Am I not the sacred Ganga where he bathes?
Can you ever be my equal?
I am a flood of pure joy—
can anything match the holy Yamuna?
The right that belongs to me,
is it right to snatch it away?
When two riverbanks embrace
a single river, is that a mistake?
This is the river that merged into the ocean.
This is the destiny that bound us together.
Why cling to that illusion anymore?
Why have this tension between us?
One man for one woman—
holding the rightful claim to be his,
this youthful maiden is Bommi!
Knowing the lord's heart and temperament,
spreading a bed of flowers for him,
I am the graceful beauty, Vellaiyammal.
The warrior of Thenpandi is my king,
the god adored by me alone.
What more can I say? In my heart too,
he is the life that lives without end.
The body I hold and cherish,
you must never touch!
Whenever your king arrives,
my door will never close on him!
Is a husband common property,
something for all to share?
Lord Murugan having two wives—
is that a sin?
Human beings are not gods,
nor are they unfeeling blocks of wood!
Why reject this connection anymore?
Step aside, why drag this into a dispute?
One man for one woman—
holding the rightful claim to be his,
the first home is my home alone!
When moonlight burns and cold chills the night,
to embrace him in two warm arms,
the second home is my home alone!
Known to the world, the town, and Arundhati (star of chastity),
she is his wedded wife forever.
Hidden from everyone else,
unnoticed by the world,
she is the one who brings him true delight.
One man for one woman—
holding the rightful claim to be his,
the first home is my home alone!
My lord...
My love...
My lord...
My love...
