I have read so many palms, Lord of the Seven Hills!
You blessed me to read this palm too, my beloved Lord!
The lines on this lovely hand are clear and good,
but there is a little Chevvai Dosham (Mars astrological flaw), dear lady!
It makes one long to set a wedding date—
this girl's horoscope!
This girl's horoscope makes one long to set a wedding date!
The lines on this lovely hand are clear and good,
but there is a little Chevvai Dosham, dear lady!
An affliction, an affliction, an affliction, an affliction,
there is an astrological flaw, dear lady!
Your eyes speak of a first wife,
while your palm shows a second wife!
Your eyes speak of a first wife,
while your palm shows a second wife!
You will have three sons,
and you will have three daughters,
yet none are your own... all adopted!
Only after years pass and you become an old grandmother will you get married!
The lines on this lovely hand are clear and good,
but there is a little Chevvai Dosham, dear sir!
To fix a wedding date,
this young man's horoscope tempts the heart!
This young man's horoscope tempts the heart!
The lines on this lovely hand are clear and good,
but there is a little Chevvai Dosham,
an affliction, an affliction, an affliction, an affliction,
there is an astrological flaw, dear sir!
The girl and the boy belong to the very same kind,
and the fortune in their palms is one and the same!
The girl and the boy belong to the very same kind,
and the fortune in their palms is one and the same!
There is an astrological flaw here,
and there is an astrological flaw there too;
if the two join together, life will be pure bliss!
Only after years pass and he becomes an old grandfather will he get married!
On this lovely hand...
Female: ...the palm lines are clear!
Male: But just a little...
Female: ...Chevvai Dosham!
Male: An affliction...
Female: ...an affliction...
Male: ...an affliction...
Female: ...an affliction!
Born in the month of Vaikasi (mid-May to mid-June),
Virgo sign and Capricorn sign...
Born that day in the month of Vaikasi,
Virgo sign and Capricorn sign...
Female: When it comes to who belongs with whom,
if God Himself has decided,
what does a zodiac sign matter? The charm on our faces is the true sign!
Both: If you and I come together as one,
all sixteen blessings of life will blossom!
The lines on this lovely hand are clear and good,
but there is a little Chevvai Dosham, dear sir!
Male: To set a wedding date,
this girl's horoscope tempts the heart!
Female: This boy's horoscope tempts the heart!
