For the love of this young girl,
For the affection of this fair girl,
Won't the breeze from Alagar Hill come
And carry a message of love?
For the love of this young girl,
For the affection of this fair girl,
Won't the breeze from Alagar Hill come
And carry a message of love?
For the love of this young girl,
For the affection of this fair girl,
Won't the breeze from Alagar Hill come
And carry a message of love?
The fragrant jasmine has blossomed,
Waiting to marry and be yours.
Around this delicate, shell-adorned neck,
You must tie the wedding knot, my man.
Around this delicate, shell-adorned neck,
You must tie the wedding knot, my man.
For the love of this young girl,
For the affection of this fair girl,
Won't the breeze from Alagar Hill come
And carry a message of love?
Won't the breeze from Alagar Hill come
And carry a message of love?
Countless desires rush in
And strike this girl's heart.
Thinking of you, why does
Such longing fill my soul?
Inside the grove, two little birds
Chirp intimately to each other.
When we already belong to each other,
When will we finally become a pair?
To invite the whole town for our wedding,
We need to fix a good date.
Even after the entire village falls asleep,
We two must stay up and talk.
Shall I apply cooling sandalwood paste on you?
Oh my very life, come join me!
Around this delicate, shell-adorned neck,
You must tie the wedding knot, my man.
For the love of this young girl,
For the affection of this fair girl,
Won't the breeze from Alagar Hill come
And carry a message of love?
Oh Marudhu, born to my uncle,
I simply cannot forget you.
Pining, melting, and aching inside,
You leave me to wither away!
For a mustachioed man,
Is stubborn pride all you care about?
As for everything else,
Do I really have to spell it out?
Inside this tender girl's heart,
You kindle the fire of desire.
Yet hiding all your love away,
You put on a show of indifference!
Oh bridegroom wearing a dhoti,
Your stubborn ways still have not changed!
There is no gain in staying angry,
And there is no sin in uniting with me!
For the love of this young girl,
For the affection of this fair girl,
Won't the breeze from Alagar Hill come
And carry a message of love?
For the love of this young girl,
For the affection of this fair girl,
Won't the breeze from Alagar Hill come
And carry a message of love?
The fragrant jasmine has blossomed,
Waiting to marry and be yours.
Around this delicate, shell-adorned neck,
You must tie the wedding knot, my man.
Around this delicate, shell-adorned neck,
You must tie the wedding knot, my man.
For the love of this young girl,
For the affection of this fair girl,
Won't the breeze from Alagar Hill come
And carry a message of love?
Won't the breeze from Alagar Hill come
And carry a message of love?
