Has the fragrant flower bloomed?
Has it waited for the right time to arrive?
Seeing the peacock dance with spread feathers,
Bringing a friend along,
Letting the journey take its course,
Showering treasures generously,
Letting the journey take its course,
Showering treasures generously,
Will he come and bring them to you, my darling?
On the other side of the river stand five or six coconut trees,
On the other side of the river stand five or six coconut trees,
My man is going to come,
He will place the wedding garland on me,
My man is going to come,
He will place the wedding garland on me,
Thimi thimi thimi thinthi thimi thinthimi
Thimi thimi thimi thinthi thimi thinthimi
Has the fragrant flower bloomed... ah...
...
Taking the red hue of kumkum and blending the scent of sandalwood,
Did you come to live life to the fullest?
Taking the red hue of kumkum and blending the scent of sandalwood,
Did you come to live life to the fullest?
A life is longed for, and a time for union will arrive,
The beauty that time brings will fulfill everything,
From now on the heart will blossom, the time to bloom is here,
The girl whose lips are red from betel leaf,
The girl blushing red with shyness,
Her man is coming, and he will set the wedding day,
Thimi thimi thimi thinthi thimi thinthimi
Thimi thimi thimi thinthi thimi thinthimi
Has the fragrant flower bloomed... ah...
Finding a new path, adding radiance to gold,
Did you bring such tender love that awakens longing?
A time for desire, beside a loving home,
A time when womanhood is realized, every dream will come true,
From now on the heart will blossom, the time to bloom is here,
Thana thanthana thana thanthana
Thana thanthana thana
Thana thanthana thana thanthana
Thana thanthana thana
