Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh... oh oh-oh-oh
Oho-oh... oho... oh-oh-oh
I look at your hands adorned with bangles
Lost in wonder, I begin to sweat
I add beauty to your beauty
Did you shiver as my fingers touched you?
Did it sprout in your dreams?
Did your eyes turn red with passion?
Only when touched
does a flower blossom
O flower that bloomed untouched!
Only when heated in fire
does gold shine
O gold that shines without being burned!
My dear, in your eyes...
who is there in your eyes?
Whisper it in my ear, my deer
They will surely come true
all our wishes and hopes
on our wedding day!
I look at your hands adorned with bangles
Lost in wonder, I begin to sweat
I add beauty to your beauty
Did you shiver as my fingers touched you?
Did it sprout in your dreams?
Did your eyes turn red with passion?
Oh, on everyone's hands
I am the one who drew colorful patterns
Of everyone living in this home
I have filled all their hearts
In this family, I too
am one of them today
a young boy singing like a cuckoo
Everyone likes me
Separation will never come between us
Even when thunder and lightning strike
disappointment will never fall from the sky
Without you, what am I?
To sing about you today and every day
there is a gentle breeze everywhere
Coming to meet with you
are my two loving eyes
Oho... oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh
Oh nana nana naana na
Oho... oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh
Oh... oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh
Oh young woman, I am someone
who knows how to read your pulse and tell fortunes
Whose heart is won by whom
I understand from past destiny
A desire that has budded will bloom and bear fruit
The right time for it will surely arrive
I am a musician well-versed in Tamil
my words will never fail
The garland offered by the hands you longed for
will fall softly on your shoulders, lovely girl
Come, your life is in your hands
Chrysanthemum, chrysanthemum
flower, you
must find pure happiness
Looking at your glowing red cheeks
even the red evening sky should blush with shyness
I look at your hands adorned with bangles
Lost in wonder, I begin to sweat
I add beauty to your beauty
Did you shiver as my fingers touched you?
Did it sprout in your dreams?
Did your eyes turn red with passion?
Aahaaa... aa... aa... aahaaa...
Aa... aa... aa... aa... aahaaa...
Oho... oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh
Oh nana nana naana na
Oho... oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh
Oh... oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh
