Goddess Mahalakshmi has arrived,
Forever, it is her rule!
Goddess Mahalakshmi has arrived,
In my home, she rules forever!
For this humble servant's home to thrive,
For prosperity to flourish,
To enter and run this household,
Goddess Mahalakshmi has arrived,
In my home, she rules forever!
Aaaa... Aaaa... Aaaaaaaa...
She has come to stay in this devotee's home,
Choosing an auspicious festival day, haha, she cooked Pongal!
Is she Kamakshi? Or Meenakshi?
Is she Abirami? Or Sivakami?
As if the Goddess took the form of a young woman here,
Taking human shape and walking around gracefully...
Goddess Mahalakshmi has arrived,
In my home, she rules forever... haha...
My friend, the beauty of this young woman's eyes
Is pure and innocent like a fresh flower!
I saw the magical touch of her lovely hands,
Everything she touches turns to gold!
Without any prior bond or relation,
A colorful peacock has arrived here,
The entire home, inside and out,
Shines and glows with her smile!
I am completely captivated... bravo!
Aaaa... aa.. ha... aa.. haa.. aa.. aa
...
She straightened my path,
And put my life in order,
Transforming me as well,
Into a reformed, better man!
Has divinity itself become a woman?
Has sweet honey arrived before my eyes?
With auspiciousness overflowing,
An enchanting smile
Flows from her lips as sweet joy plays...
Goddess Mahalakshmi has arrived,
In my home, she rules forever... haha...
For this humble servant's home to thrive,
For prosperity to flourish,
To enter and run this household,
Goddess Mahalakshmi has arrived,
In my home, she rules forever!
Aa.. haaa.. haaa... haaa...
