It is the wedding of the princess and the king!
The princess's life will be splendid and wonderful!
Chorus: As the in-laws exchange auspicious gifts and betel leaves,
We witnessed the grand wedding festivities!
In the midnight hour when the sky blossoms with stars,
Like a mandhaaram flower thirsting with longing,
Chorus: Cast your shy glances with your eyes,
And he will see heaven because of you!
The bright stars in the sky
Chorus: Are wedding gifts from the uncle!
Male: We will serve a feast of heartfelt blessings,
Chorus: Eat to your heart's content!
Male: A rare blessing that no one else in town got,
Wedding drums beating by the bed at night!
Chorus: May you live with great honor and prosperity!
It is the wedding of the princess and the king!
Just like betel leaf and limestone paste,
When two hearts blend together as one,
The life you have always longed for
Will glow rich and red like sindoor, my dear!
A wife is like a second mother, after all,
She will carry the burdens of your heart.
Like carrying a deity in a palanquin,
You should carry her on your shoulders every day.
If married life...
Chorus: ...is cherished in every little moment,
Male: The sweet lullabies...
Chorus: ...in ten months' time,
Will be heard in your home!
Male: If a rain of love...
Chorus: ...pours down as a heavy shower,
Male: When the right time arrives,
Chorus: Life, too, just like a peacock,
Will spread its feathers wide!
It is the wedding of the princess and the king!
The princess's life will be splendid and wonderful!
Chorus: As the in-laws exchange auspicious gifts and betel leaves,
We witnessed the grand wedding festivities!
Look at the groom standing tall,
Chorus: With such poise and style!
Male: If the edge of her saree touches him,
Chorus: He will be completely captivated!
Male: With the sacred blessings of our family deity,
May the two of you as a couple,
Chorus: Live happily for many long years!
May you live with great honor and prosperity!
It is the wedding of the princess and the king!
Thanthanaana thaa naa ne thaane… (x3)
