Is it right, is it right,
that I fell in love with you?
Is it right, is it right,
that I fell in love with you?
Is it right, is it right,
that I fell in love with you?
Is it right, is it right,
that I fell in love with you?
Holding me on your lap,
as my king caresses me,
showering precious kisses,
and softly pleading,
is this joyful celebration right?
It is right, it is truly right,
that you fell in love with me.
It is right, it is truly right,
that you fell in love with me.
To start a life with you,
I, your maternal uncle, have come
to adorn this flower of a girl
with fragrant blossoms.
The flowers you placed in my hair
and the pottu (forehead dot) I wear
showed me that our bond
will never fade away.
Without you,
who else could ever be my match?
Even if some people
feel bitter in their hearts,
my darling, you must always sing
this verse of our love!
Is it right, is it right,
that I fell in love with you?
Is it right, is it right,
that I fell in love with you?
Holding me on your lap,
as my king caresses me,
showering precious kisses,
and softly pleading,
is this joyful celebration right?
Is it right, is it right,
that I fell in love with you?
It is right, it is truly right,
that you fell in love with me.
Wearing our wedding garlands
and swaying on the golden swing,
won't we soon hear the sound
of festive wedding drums?
When the bridal bed is made
and our sweet duet begins,
won't the gentle breeze
peek in to watch us?
Hold me close
against your chest;
without you, what is life
for a woman like me?
Am I not like ripe cotton
bursting open in the cool breeze?
It is right, it is truly right,
that you fell in love with me.
It is right, it is truly right,
that you fell in love with me.
Holding you on my lap,
as your king caresses you,
showering precious kisses,
and softly pleading,
this joyful celebration...
Is it right, is it right,
that I fell in love with you?
It is right, it is truly right,
that you fell in love with me.
Is it right, is it right,
that I fell in love with you?
It is right, it is truly right,
that you fell in love with me.
