Vinmeengal vairangalaai
Ingirangi paadudhae
Joraaga melam kottunga
Sidu moonji ondril indru
Sirippugal pookkudhae
Pudhu getti melam kottunga
Kanavaa
Un kaiyai pidikka
Kanavaai
Pala kaalam kadatha
Kalavaadu manasu muzhukka
Adi melam….
Kaiyodu kaiyum serthu
Kaadhal sollu
Kannodu kannum serthu
Kaadhil sollu
Vinmeengal vairangalaai
Ingirangi paadudhae
Joraaga melam kottunga
Maakkolam pattum poovum
Mandhirangal paada
Nei manjal nellil serndhu
Vaazhthu thoova
Uttraaragal aasi konjam
Aasai konjam koora
Nanbargal kindal minji
Vetkam sera
Iru manam serudhae
Iru kadhai serudhae
Iru veedugal serudhae…
Like diamonds, the stars
Have come down to sing!
Beat the drums with joy!
Today, on a grumpy face,
Smiles are blooming!
Play the auspicious wedding drums!
Is it a dream,
To hold your hand?
Like a dream,
To spend a lifetime together?
Steal away my entire heart,
Beat the drums!
Hold my hand in yours
And tell me your love,
Look into my eyes
And whisper in my ear!
Like diamonds, the stars
Have come down to sing!
Beat the drums with joy!
With rice-flour patterns, silk, and flowers,
As sacred chants are sung,
As rice mixed with turmeric and ghee
Is showered in blessing,
As relatives give their blessings
And share their heartfelt wishes,
With friends playfully teasing
And shyness creeping in,
Two hearts are uniting,
Two life stories are merging,
Two families are becoming one!
