கூடிவாழ்ந்தால் கோடி நன்மை
குவலயம் கண்ட உண்மை
தேடி வந்த செல்வம் உன்னை
சேர்ந்தே வாழ்வேன் கண்ணே
என் செல்லக்கிளி நீ சொன்னபடி பல
நன்மை காண்போம் உள்ளபடி.....
Living together brings ten million blessings
This is a truth known to the entire world
You are the treasure that came seeking me

இரும்புத் திரையைப்போல மாமன்
இருக்கையில் எவ்விதம் சேருவது
மதுரை வீரனும் பொம்மியும் போலே
மாற்றிக் கொள்ளலாம் மணமாலை
ஏய் வண்ணக்கிளி நீ என்னுடனே உன்
எண்ணம் போல வாழ்ந்திடலாம்
At the heavenly gateway called family life
Our love will ponder and blossom
A registered court marriage is the path
The only path that is clear in my vision
Male: On that path there are no obstacles at all
Why this useless fear, my delicate peahen?

ஆகிவிட்டோம் நாமொருவர்
சம்சாரம் எனும் சொர்க்க வாசலை
சந்திக்குமே நம் காதலே
பதிவுத் திருமணம் என்ற வழி
என் பார்வையில் தெரியும் ஒரே வழி
அந்தப் பாதையிலே தடை ஏதுமில்லே
வீண் பயமும் ஏனோ பெண் மயிலே......
ராஜா ராணி நாமிருவர்
லைலா மஜ்னு நாமிருவர்
ஆசை பொங்கும் அன்பினாலே
ஆகிவிட்டோம் நாமொருவர்.....
ஆகிவிட்டோம் நாமொருவர்
