A long-cherished dream has become a celebration,
Come, come, let us welcome our wedding day!
Come, come, let us welcome our wedding day!
This is the moment to exchange garlands,
From now on, we will live in royal bliss.
A long-cherished dream has become a celebration,
Come, come, let us welcome our wedding day!
Come, come, let us welcome our wedding day!
This is the moment to exchange garlands,
From now on, we will live in royal bliss.
A long-cherished dream has become a celebration,
Come, come, let us welcome our wedding day!
I am the dewdrop sleeping on a flower,
You are the beam of light searching for that dew.
I am the dewdrop sleeping on a flower,
You are the beam of light searching for that dew.
This lovely lady's body is a garland of blooms,
And her overflowing heart is a treasure of gold.
Come, my girl as lovely as a painting,
Come, precious pearl of pure Tamil!
Come, my girl as lovely as a painting,
Come, precious pearl of pure Tamil!
If you become the flower,
Am I not the gentle breeze?
A long-cherished dream has become a celebration,
Come, come, let us welcome our wedding day!
Come, come, let us welcome our wedding day!
This graceful beauty has lips as red as ripe fruit,
May I plant a sweet kiss on them?
This graceful beauty has lips as red as ripe fruit,
May I plant a sweet kiss on them?
Shall I lean gently against you?
Shall I flow over you like the river Ganga?
As the red bindi dances,
As this fresh jasmine bud sways,
As the red bindi dances,
As this fresh jasmine bud sways,
Let us experience here
A paradise that no one has ever seen!
A long-cherished dream has become a celebration,
Come, come, let us welcome our wedding day!
Come, come, let us welcome our wedding day!
This is the moment to exchange garlands,
From now on, we will live in royal bliss.
This is the moment to exchange garlands,
From now on, we will live in royal bliss.
