They will welcome the guests with warm words,
while some stand at the doorway sprinkling rosewater.

Happy in their hearts
to have been blessed with a daughter,
Happy in their hearts
to have been blessed with a daughter,
as overwhelming joy surges within him,
my father will shed tears of love.

Beneath a blue canopy,
under a flower pavilion decked with pearls,
with colorful kolam patterns and a soothing fragrance in the air,
the sacred wedding pillar will stand in majestic beauty,
and mothers will hurry forward holding the aarathi plate.
Voices will ask, "Where is the bride? Where is she?"
while my friend, busy braiding my hair,
feels her hands tremble with excitement.
Voices will ask, "Where is the bride? Where is she?"
while my friend, busy braiding my hair,
feels her hands tremble with excitement.
My head will bow with eyes lowered to my feet,
my head will bow with eyes lowered to my feet,
and my pretty feet will slowly, softly
take each step forward.
and my pretty feet will slowly, softly
take each step forward.
Taking hands full of flowers,
the women will shower them like rain.
They will take the golden wedding chain
and place it in his hands.
"Play the wedding drums!"
a voice will call out,
my calm face will blush with warmth,
and shivers of excitement will run through me.
Mothers blessed with children
will give me their blessings,
and feeling that my womanhood is complete,
I too will rejoice.

In the dark of night, an elder woman
will come quietly,
In the dark of night, an elder woman
will come quietly,
show me the private room where he waits,
and softly slip away.
show me the private room where he waits,
and softly slip away.
Without being seen by my friends
who pretend to be fast asleep,
I will go to where my love awaits
and stand looking shyly at the floor.
Should he speak first,
or can I speak to him?
Is this the right moment
to call him my beloved?
If he touches my hand and calls to me,
what will I say?
Closing my eyes and losing myself,
I will just stand there, completely speechless.
