You are a musical note in Sriranjani raga,
O queen of auspicious melodies!
With a face radiant and lovely,
enchantress of my heart!
May all good fortune,
today and forever,
keep flowing your way!
O charming god of love,
O master of music like Ravana,
blossom for me, my Krishna,
with your intoxicating melody!
I will follow after you,
everywhere, today,
and on into eternity!
You are a musical note in Sriranjani raga,
O queen of auspicious melodies...
Your striking glance and sweet voice,
in a world where bangles jingle and dance...
Ha aa aa aa ha aa aah...
Your striking glance and sweet voice,
in a world where bangles jingle and dance,
why shower me with praises?
I am completely swept off my feet!
My guide and my bridegroom,
I sway restlessly like an ocean wave.
In the glow of your stunning beauty,
I feel so exalted!
Grace and charm...
Female: ...is my sacred marriage thread!
Heaven itself...
...is on our side!
Both: With wonder and joy in life,
beauty and prosperity will surround us!
You are a musical note in Sriranjani raga,
O queen of auspicious melodies!
With a face radiant and lovely,
enchantress of my heart!
Kindling a fire by my side,
you don't need to scorch me...
Kindling a fire by my side,
you don't need to scorch me...
Like tangled string hoppers (idiyappam),
I have softened and lost my way!
Female: With snacks and sweets,
I am going to serve you!
Even if you refuse, I won't give up,
I will come and feed you myself!
All in all, because of you,
I have lost all my sleep.
Rising high into the open sky,
I flew all over the place!
Tying a swing across the skies,
I come to swing and play!
Whenever I come near you,
Ayyayaho oho oh!
Hey, wherever our hearts wander,
let us take that path!
Every single day, let us feast in celebration!
With an unyielding grip,
I caught hold of your heart!
When you strike the right note nicely,
didn't it become a big hit?
Once our hearts connected,
didn't it touch you deep inside?
Clinging closely together,
when love wrapped you and me tight,
didn't you finally realize?
From now on, you rule my heart!
Come along every single day,
we will have so much fun!
The coming days will be so sweet,
fragrant, fresh, and brand new!
When you strike the right note nicely,
didn't it become a big hit... aaah...
