Vaname nee
Kalyana pookal kondu vaa
Kuyil iname
Nalla kacheri paadal paada vaa
Uchi malai maram ellam
Sandhanatha poosudhae
Pacha malai megamo
Paneera thoovudhae
Aalan kili vaazhthu padudhae
Aala maram atchadha podudhae
Vaname nee
Kalyana pookal kondu vaa
Kuyil iname
Nalla kacheri paadal paada vaa

O forest, you
bring the wedding flowers!
You flock of cuckoos,
come sing a wonderful concert song!
All the trees on the mountain peaks
are smearing sandalwood paste on themselves,
and the clouds over the green hills
are showering rosewater!
The parrots are singing blessings,
and the banyan tree showers sacred wedding rice!
O forest, you
bring the wedding flowers!
You flock of cuckoos,
come sing a wonderful concert song!
For you to wear in your hair across the woods,
I will wander around picking flowers.
All over my hands, with your name,
I will roam around getting tattooed.
The waterfalls cascading from above,
I will invite them to beat the wedding drums.
To the roaming deer and peacocks here,
I will hand out wedding invitations.
With the wild cuckoo singing the tune,
the peacock stepping up to offer the garland,
and the elephant offering its blessings,
our wedding will take place.
O sweet honey of the sandalwood forest,
my little doe draped in a half-sari,
once the sacred yellow thread is tied,
that bridal bed belongs only to us!
Learning new arts of love,
we can practice and write a whole book.
Male: There is a flower and there is a fruit,
we can pluck both of them.
O forest, you
bring the wedding flowers!
You flock of cuckoos,
come sing a concert song!
The sky and the earth
are all our dear kin.
When music fills this whole forest,
why do we need a concert?
This meadow sprinkled with flowers
is our new bridal bed.
When the tender forest vines hold up an umbrella,
why do we need a bedroom?
In the wide open forest,
leaving all shyness behind, we will unite.
From head to toe,
as man and woman, we will become one.
I will be the clothing for you,
and girl, you will be the clothing for me.
Female: When the cold wind strikes,
it is enough if you wrap yourself around me.
Until this sweet night turns into dawn,
let our feast go on.
Even when our mingling souls grow tired,
let our love keep flowing.
O forest, you
bring the wedding flowers!
You flock of cuckoos,
come sing a wonderful concert song!
