Pallaandu pallaandu pallaayiram aandu
Thambathigal vaazhiyavae illaram kandu
Pallaandu pallaandu pallaayiram aandu
Thambathigal vaazhiyavae illaram kandu
Nalloergal maeloergal saatthiranggal kondu
Nalamaaga vaazhiyavae nallaram kandu
Pallaandu pallaandu pallaayiram aandu
Thambathigal vaazhiyavae illaram kandu
Penn kazhutthtil
Vizhuvathenna moondru mudichu
Ondru petroerku adanggiyaval ennum mudichu
Ondru petroerku adanggiyaval ennum mudichu
Kanavanukku udamai ennum irandu mudichu
Moondru kadavulukku bayanthavalaai kaattum mudichu
Pallaandu pallaandu pallaayiram aandu
Thambathigal vaazhiyavae illaram kandu
Naerizhaal kazhuththil ulla thaali enbathu
Aaa……aa……aa…..aaa…..aa….
Naerizhaal kazhuththil ulla taali enbathu
Athu nimirnthu varum aadavarai vilaga solvathu
Koemagalin kaalil ulla vanggi enbathu
Athu thuninthu varum vanjiyarai vilaga solvathu
Pallaandu pallaandu pallaayiram aandu
Thambathigal vaazhiyavae illaram kandu
Paalai poela thaaimai thanai
Valarththu kolgiraar
Avar pazhaththai poela inimai thanai
Pagirnthu kolgiraar
Paalai poela thaaimai thanai
Valarththu kolgiraar
Avar pazhaththai poela inimai thanai
Pagirnthu kolgiraar
Kundru poela erivathenna kuththu vilakku
Kundru poela erivathenna kuththu vilakku
Athu koelam pottu kaatuvathu kudumba vilakku…..
Kudumba vilakku……
Pallaandu pallaandu pallaayiram aandu
Thambathigal vaazhiyavae illaram kandu
Nalloergal maeloergal saatthiranggal kondu
Nalamaaga vaazhiyavae nallaram kandu
Pallaandu pallaandu pallaayiram aandu
Thambathigal vaazhiyavae illaram kandu
For many years, many years, thousands of years to come,
May the couple live long, finding joy in married life!
For many years, many years, thousands of years to come,
May the couple live long, finding joy in married life!
Guided by elders, good people, and sacred wisdom,
May they live well, following the path of virtue!
For many years, many years, thousands of years to come,
May the couple live long, finding joy in married life!
Around a woman's neck,
What do the three knots tied signify?
The first knot says she honours her parents;
The first knot says she honours her parents;
The second knot says she belongs to her husband;
And the third shows she walks with fear of God.
For many years, many years, thousands of years to come,
May the couple live long, finding joy in married life!
The thali (sacred wedding thread) around this noble woman's neck
Aa... aa... aa... aa... aa...
The thali (sacred wedding thread) around this noble woman's neck
Tells other men to turn away with respect.
The ornament on this noble lady's foot
Tells other women to stay away from her husband.
For many years, many years, thousands of years to come,
May the couple live long, finding joy in married life!
Like pure milk,
She nurtures motherhood;
Like sweet fruit,
They share the sweetness of life together.
Like pure milk,
She nurtures motherhood;
Like sweet fruit,
They share the sweetness of life together.
What is the sacred lamp that shines bright like a beacon?
What is the sacred lamp that shines bright like a beacon?
It is the woman of the house, bringing grace to the home...
The guiding light of the home...
For many years, many years, thousands of years to come,
May the couple live long, finding joy in married life!
Guided by elders, good people, and sacred wisdom,
May they live well, following the path of virtue!
For many years, many years, thousands of years to come,
May the couple live long, finding joy in married life!
