Like a blooming rose,
A bridegroom perfectly matched for the bride,
Stood there in all his grand style...
Hey... to this royal home,
Like a queen, an angel,
Has arrived as our golden girl...
Swaying sweet marjoram,
Jasmine flower born to aunt,
Into your groom's heart,
Set your ships sailing!
Twirling his moustache proudly,
Tucking the end of her sari tightly,
Even after daylight fully breaks,
Stay lying at her feet!
Dazzle him, dazzle!
Dazzle him beautifully!
Clever girl, clever!
She is the clever one!
Dominate him, dominate!
Dominate him quickly!
Chase him away, chase!
Chase him away completely!
As the silk sari slides gently aside,
Aha, the dhoti comes joining in alliance!
Oh my, oh my!
All the desires of these men
Are like patterns drawn in a hurry!
Oh dear, oh dear!
The poor man who gets caught with you women
Is truly pitiful!
Hey, our girl will cherish the bridegroom
Gently like a tender flower!
Our boy will keep her in his sight
Like the apple of his eye as he sleeps!
Two bodies, but a single soul!
Every single night,
Sweat will pour down!
Gently, so gently,
Drawing close and whispering sweet words
Is a man's courage...
Usually, naturally,
Acting tough when he pleads
Is a woman's pride...
Living life with heartfelt love
Is a boundless joy!
If there is a forgiving heart,
All of life is a celebration!
As tender hearts flutter like cotton,
Love will build a nest in their hearts!
A wedding...
A wedding made in heaven...
Like a blooming rose,
A bridegroom perfectly matched for the bride,
Stood there in all his grand style...
To this royal home,
Like a queen, an angel,
Has arrived as our golden girl...
Swaying sweet marjoram,
Jasmine flower born to aunt,
Into your groom's heart,
Set your ships sailing!
Twirling his moustache proudly,
Tucking the end of her sari tightly,
Even after daylight fully breaks,
Stay lying at her feet!
Dazzle him, dazzle!
Dazzle him beautifully!
Clever girl, clever!
She is the clever one!
Dominate him, dominate!
Dominate him quickly!
Chase him away, chase!
Chase him away completely!
As the silk sari slides gently aside,
Aha, the dhoti comes joining in alliance!
