Raamaa… raamaa… raamaa…
Thirumangalyam kollum murai illaiyo
Ullam ariyaadha maangalyam thavarillaiyo
Thirumangalyam kollum murai illaiyo
Ullam ariyaadha maangalyam thavarillaiyo
Kannai moodi kattum thaali chadhamaa
Indha kalyaanam unakke sammadhamaa
Kannai moodi kattum thaali chadhamaa
Indha kalyaanam unakke sammadhamaa
Yerkavo.. edukkavo.. neeyae sol
Raamaa.. raamaa… raamaa…
Manamedai meedhu aniyaadhapodhum
Maangalyam endrum punidham
Manadhaalum avanai ninaiyaadhapodhum
Avan thandha thaali amudham
Kazhatrinaalum adhai agatrinaalum ini
Kanniyaavadhillai magalae
Kanavan endroruvan aana pinbu idhai
Kaakka vaendum kulamagalae
Annai janakiyae andha raamapiraan
Thandha thaaliyalla indha thaali…
Annai janakiyae andha raamapiraan
Thandha thaaliyalla indha thaali…
Idhu aathirathil vandha avasarathil
Ennai siraiyidavae vandha vaeli
Idhai thaangi kondaal naan paavi…
Kannai moodi kattum thaali chadhamaa
Indha kalyaanam unakke sammadhamaa
Thirumangalyam kollum murai illaiyo
Ullam ariyaadha maangalyam thavarillaiyo
Kannai moodi kattum thaali chadhamaa
Indha kalyaanam unakke sammadhamaa
Malar maalaithannai silai meedhu soodi
Vazhipaadu seiyum kulamae
Silaithannai kettu orupodhum andha
Malar poodavillai manamae
Oruvan anivadhena oruththi peruvadhena
Mudindhu pona kadhai magalae
Avanai neengi nee vaazhndhapodhum
Ini idhanai neekkuvadhu thavarae
Ival yaarukkendrae andha devanavan
Vidhi vaguththu vittaan andha naalil
Adhai maatridavo illai maruthidavo
Vazhi illaiyammaa indha naattil
Idhu thaayin vazhi vandha panbu
Indha panpaadu maraiyaadhadhu
Adhu unnodu mudiyaadhadhu
Indha mannodu uravaanadhu…
Rama... Rama... Rama...
Isn't there a proper way to accept the sacred wedding knot?
Isn't a wedding knot tied without the heart's consent a mistake?
Isn't there a proper way to accept the sacred wedding knot?
Isn't a wedding knot tied without the heart's consent a mistake?
Can a wedding thread tied blindly ever be lasting?
Is this marriage acceptable even to you?
Can a wedding thread tied blindly ever be lasting?
Is this marriage acceptable even to you?
Should I accept it or cast it off? You tell me!
Rama... Rama... Rama...
Even if it was not tied upon a wedding stage,
the sacred wedding knot is forever holy.
Even if your heart never thought of him,
the sacred thread he gave is life-giving nectar.
Even if you take it off or throw it away,
you can never be an unmarried girl again, my daughter.
Once a man has become your husband,
you must protect this bond, noble daughter.
O Mother Janaki, this is not the wedding thread
that Lord Rama gave!
O Mother Janaki, this is not the wedding thread
that Lord Rama gave!
Born out of anger and blind haste,
this is a wedding thread meant only to imprison me!
If I accept and bear this, I would be a sinner!
Can a wedding thread tied blindly ever be lasting?
Is this marriage acceptable even to you?
Isn't there a proper way to accept the sacred wedding knot?
Isn't a wedding knot tied without the heart's consent a mistake?
Can a wedding thread tied blindly ever be lasting?
Is this marriage acceptable even to you?
People place a flower garland on a stone idol
and offer their prayers.
Did they ever ask the idol's wish
before placing those flowers, O troubled heart?
One tied it and the other received it;
that matter is already finished, my daughter.
Even if you live parted from him,
taking this off now would be wrong.
Whom this girl belongs to, God above
already wrote into destiny that day.
To alter that or to refuse it,
there is no way in this land, my child.
This is the virtue passed down through mothers;
this tradition will never fade,
it will not end with you,
it is rooted forever in this earth...
