O moon of the sky, O moon of the sky,
A scene of pure joy has entered our lives!
Love will live on through the ages,
And you, the moon in the blue sky, are the witness!
Seeking the home of Mahalakshmi (goddess of prosperity),
Kalaivani (goddess of the arts) has moved in!
In this house, the two of them
Become one on this auspicious day!
Seeking the home of Mahalakshmi,
Kalaivani has moved in!
O moon of the sky, O moon of the sky,
A scene of pure joy has entered our lives!
Love will live on through the ages,
And you, the moon in the blue sky, are the witness!
Seeking the home of Mahalakshmi,
Kalaivani has moved in!
I wrote my very life as a will
In your name, my precious diamond gem!
Nothing here belongs to just me anymore,
From now on, you are everything to me!
Once we have blended into one another,
There are no two separate souls here anymore!
Like a shadow, I will stay with you even in the dark,
All across the world where you live!
By giving myself away, I won your heart,
And having won you, I hold you in my lap!
Every evening, like a garland of fresh flowers,
I rest upon your chest!
O moon of the sky, O moon of the sky,
A scene of pure joy has entered our lives!
Love will live on through the ages,
And you, the moon in the blue sky, are the witness!
Seeking the home of Mahalakshmi,
Ooo... Kalaivani has moved in!
When the two of us brush together just once,
A bright spark of love is born!
You trembled with desire from head to toe,
My delicate flower can hardly bear it!
Upon the tiny little blossoms,
This is the time when the dew sleeps!
A cool, gentle breeze blows in
And sings a sweet little tune!
Gentle raindrops drizzle across the heart,
Cool showers sprinkle across every memory!
Spread a mat so I can gently lean back and rest
Upon your flower-decked hair!
O moon of the sky, O moon of the sky,
A scene of pure joy has entered our lives!
Love will live on through the ages,
And you, the moon in the blue sky, are the witness!
Seeking the home of Mahalakshmi,
Kalaivani has moved in!
In this house, the two of them
Become one on this auspicious day!
Seeking the home of Mahalakshmi,
Kalaivani has moved in!
