On the lovely hands of this precious, flower-like woman,
Today is the bangle ceremony.
On the lovely hands of this precious, flower-like woman,
Today is the bangle ceremony.
So that her auspicious kumkum shines forever,
The gods stand as her protection...
On the lovely hands of this precious, flower-like woman,
Today is the bangle ceremony.
To let his precious son's feet crawl on the ground,
The father will never allow.
When the child runs to hide, he too will hide,
Staying hidden from sight...
When the child runs to hide, he too will hide,
Staying hidden from sight...
On the lovely hands of this precious, flower-like woman,
Today is the bangle ceremony.
So that her auspicious kumkum shines forever,
The gods stand as her protection...
On the lovely hands of this precious, flower-like woman,
Today is the bangle ceremony.
The flowers in your hair and the mark on your forehead,
Your son will playfully mess them up.
The flowers in your hair and the mark on your forehead,
Your son will playfully mess them up.
Standing in blissful heaven, watching the child,
The father, like a deity, will look on with joy...
Standing in blissful heaven, watching the child,
The father, like a deity, will look on with joy...
On the lovely hands of this precious, flower-like woman,
Today is the bangle ceremony.
A mother's kisses for her sweet child,
Will be showered in the thousands.
In that warmth of love, leaving the father aside,
The child will stay only with you.
A mother's kisses for her sweet child,
Will be showered in the thousands.
In that warmth of love, leaving the father aside,
The child will stay only with you.
In that warmth of love, leaving the father aside,
The child will stay only with you.
On the lovely hands of this precious, flower-like woman,
