விண்மீன்கள் வைரங்களாய்
இங்கிறங்கி பாடுதே
ஜோராக மேளம் கொட்டுங்க
சிடு மூஞ்சி ஒன்றில் இன்று
சிரிப்புகள் பூக்குதே
புது கெட்டி மேளம் கொட்டுங்க
Like stars turning into diamonds,
They descend here to sing.
Beat the wedding drums grandly!
On a grumpy face today,
Smiles are blooming.
Beat the new wedding drums loudly!
கணவா
உன் கையைப் பிடிக்க
கனவாய்…
பல காலம் கடத்த
களவாடு மனச முழுக்க
அடி மேளம்
Is it a dream?
To hold your hand,
As if in a dream,
To spend a long time together,
Steal my entire heart.
Beat the drums!
கையோடு கையும் சேர்த்து
காதல் சொல்லு
கண்ணோடு கண்ணும் சேர்த்து
காதில் சொல்
Joining hand with hand,
Express your love.
Meeting eye to eye,
Whisper it in the ear.
உனக்கென நான்
எனக்கென நீ
இனி இருப்போம்
அழகழகாய் கலித்திருப்போம்
Like stars turning into diamonds,
They descend here to sing.
Beat the wedding drums grandly!
பழைய கதை
பழைய முறை
அதை மறப்போம்
புது புதிதாய்
கனவினைப்போம்
Rice-flour pattern, silk, and flowers,
As holy chants are recited,
Along with ghee, turmeric, and rice grains,
To shower blessings,
விண்மீன்கள் வைரங்களாய்
இங்கிறங்கி பாடுதே
ஜோராக மேளம் கொட்டுங்க
With relatives offering their blessings,
And expressing their fond desires,
As friends' teasing overflows,
And shyness sets in,
மாக்கோலம் பட்டும் பூவும்
மந்திரங்கள் பாட
நெய் மஞ்சள் நெல்லில் சேர்ந்து
வாழ்த்து தூவ
Two hearts are coming together,
Two stories are joining,
Two homes are uniting...
உற்றார்கள் ஆசை கொஞ்சம்
ஆசை கொஞ்சம் கூற
நண்பர்கள் கிண்டல் மிஞ்சி
வெட்கம் சேர
இரு மனம் சேருதே
இரு காதை சேருதே
இரு வீடுகள் சேருதே…
உனக்கென நான்
எனக்கென நீ
இனி இருப்போம்
அழகழகாய் கலித்திருப்போம்
பழைய கதை
பழைய முறை
அதை மறப்போம்
புது புதிதாய்
கனவினைப்போம்
