The little girl has grown up and stands tall,
She has turned into a radiant full moon,
That naughty girl is now a glowing bride,
Standing with jasmine tucked in her hair.
The moment she steps on the wedding grindstone,
She gives a hundred meanings to it;
As if it was nothing at all,
She fluttered her wings right into our hearts.
Drifting along with the breeze,
The sweet fragrance of a wedding spreads,
The groom is completely smitten
By the colorful bird that cast her net!
A lively bird adorned with pearls,
A queen ready to put on a grand show!
Dance away in joyful celebration...
The way women dance—
Shall I show you what it really is?
When you dance, you bring it alive like the goddess of arts!
In this young girl shines my bright moon,
Chrysanthemums have burst into bloom!
That-that-that-that-thaiya,
Stepping along to the rhythm, thaiya!
To my lively beat,
Won't this whole earth spin around?
That-that-that-that-thaiya,
Like rich ghee served on a banana leaf,
Blessed girl, with eyes full of charm,
Spill a gentle smile,
And let it overflow, oh!
You must trim the pride of stubborn heads,
In the house you step into, every mouth must stay shut!
Why, is my mother-in-law my buddy?
I will handle her with just one finger!
Hold your tongue for a bit,
Step back and go stand over there!
The auspicious wedding hour is flying away!
All your wild wishes won't come true, dear!
In the home you are going to, your mischief won't work!
In whichever home I am, I am the queen!
Sparks will fly under my rule!
That-that-that-that-thaiya,
Stepping along to the rhythm, thaiya!
Won't this whole earth spin along to my beat?
That-that-that-that-thaiya,
Like rich ghee served on a banana leaf,
Blessed girl, from your sparkling eyes,
Just spill a little smile,
And let it overflow...
Into a golden cage high in the sky,
Is a wicked snake slithering in?
Are the days I am running through
Turning into a painful curse?
In this young girl, my bright moon,
Chrysanthemums have burst into bloom!
That-that-that-that-thaiya,
Stepping along to the rhythm, thaiya!
To my lively beat,
Won't this whole earth spin around?
That-that-that-that-thaiya,
Like rich ghee served on a banana leaf,
Blessed girl, with eyes full of charm,
Spill a gentle smile,
And let it overflow, oh!
Into a golden cage high in the sky,
Is a wicked snake slithering in?
Are the days I am crossing through
Turning into a painful curse?
In this young girl shines my bright moon,
With chrysanthemums in full bloom,
That-that-that-that-thaiya,
Stepping along to the rhythm, thaiya!
To my lively beat,
Won't this whole earth spin around?
That-that-that-that-thaiya,
Like rich ghee served on a banana leaf,
Blessed girl, with eyes full of charm,
Spill a gentle smile,
And let it overflow, oh!
The little girl has grown up and stands tall,
She has turned into a radiant full moon,
That naughty girl is now a glowing bride,
Standing with jasmine tucked in her hair.
The moment she steps on the wedding grindstone,
She gives a hundred meanings to it;
As if it was nothing at all,
She fluttered her wings right into our hearts...
