Fragrant flowers have bloomed, and the cool north wind has started to blow,
The festive banana tree arches
Have arrived at the entrance to offer their blessings,
For me to exchange wedding garlands with my beloved!
It has arrived, yes, it has arrived!
The time to step into married life has arrived!
It is spellbound, truly spellbound!
Leaving all shyness behind, my heart is spellbound!
Fragrant flowers have bloomed, and the cool north wind has started to blow,
The festive banana tree arches
Have arrived at the entrance to offer their blessings,
For me to exchange wedding garlands with my beloved!
Like a nest in a banyan tree, like a grove by the roadside,
I am the bird nestled inside my beloved's heart!
Like a nest in a banyan tree, like a grove by the roadside,
I am the bird nestled inside my beloved's heart!
No matter the wild winds or the burning heat,
He is my king, waiting patiently for me!
With boundless warmth and deep devotion,
He is my darling Kannan, showering all his love!
The whole town will gaze at us in wonder,
When we come together as one!
Fragrant flowers have bloomed, and the cool north wind has started to blow,
The festive banana tree arches
Have arrived at the entrance to offer their blessings,
For me to exchange wedding garlands with my beloved!
Like the gentle morning dew,
Like the pleasant evening drizzle,
I will remain close to my beloved,
Like the shining moon of the night!
My father-in-law and mother-in-law,
I am the bride who will lovingly care for them!
To carry our family name through the ages,
I will give birth to precious children for him!
A wonderful life like this
Is the greatest fortune I could ever receive!
Fragrant flowers have bloomed, and the cool north wind has started to blow,
The festive banana tree arches
Have arrived at the entrance to offer their blessings,
For me to exchange wedding garlands with my beloved!
It has arrived, yes, it has arrived!
The time to step into married life has arrived!
It is spellbound, truly spellbound!
Leaving all shyness behind, my heart is spellbound!
Fragrant flowers have bloomed, and the cool north wind has started to blow,
The festive banana tree arches
Have arrived at the entrance to offer their blessings,
For me to exchange wedding garlands with my beloved...
