Come, mothers, come, fathers!
Come, aunts, come, sisters-in-law!
Come, elder sisters, come, elder brothers!
Come, uncles, come, brothers-in-law!
Eldest aunts and eldest uncles,
Younger aunts and younger uncles,
Relatives and kinfolk,
Maternal and paternal grandmothers,
All the grandfathers,
Gathering together as one,
Come to bless them!
Come to bless them!
The groom's family,
And the bride's family,
That's us!
Welcome, welcome!
When a girl awakens to desire,
And a boy grows a mustache,
It's time for a wedding!
Let the celebration begin!
Checking the family lineage,
Checking their character,
Seeking signs from the family deity,
Checking all sixteen horoscope matches,
Verifying them without any mistake,
Even if we arrange the match,
Only when their hearts unite,
Will there be true joy... don't forget that!
The thali (sacred wedding thread)
Must not turn into a confining fence!
Come to bless them!
We will bless them!
...
Fall in love to your heart's content,
Fall in love every single day,
Male: But tie the wedding knot to only one woman!
Even if you wander around like a stray dog,
Even if you roam crazy like a ghost,
Male: A beautiful girl,
Go follow her!
If you come across a girl
Who smiles at you right away,
Don't say yes immediately!
And just because
A girl stays quiet,
Don't assume she is pure and noble!
An angel or a demoness,
Both are one and the same!
Come, mothers, come, fathers!
Come, aunts, come, sisters-in-law!
Come, elder sisters, come, elder brothers!
Come, uncles, come, brothers-in-law!
If everyone falls in love
And then gets married,
All the huge wedding expenses
Will be saved!
Living off their father-in-law's wealth
Just to fatten themselves up,
Those gangs of freeloaders
Will disappear for good!
"Who is destined for whom?"
There is no such thing as fate!
Put your faith only in love, my friends!
A man needs a woman,
A woman needs a man,
In love, you don't need anything else!
Even the wife you marry
Is your lover after all!
When a girl awakens to desire,
And a boy grows a mustache,
It's time for a wedding!
Let the celebration begin!
Checking the family lineage,
Checking their character,
Seeking signs from the family deity,
Checking all sixteen horoscope matches,
Verifying them without any mistake,
Even if we arrange the match,
Only when their hearts unite,
Will there be true joy... don't forget that!
The thali (sacred wedding thread)
Must not turn into a confining fence!
Come to bless them!
We will bless them!
