For a fluttering parrot to lean and rest on,
Here is a shoulder, look here, girl!
For a singing cuckoo to learn from,
Here is a song, listen to it, girl!
To someone, a blessed daughter of fortune,
And a daughter-in-law to my father!
To someone, a blessed daughter of fortune,
And a daughter-in-law to my father!
To give color even to gold,
To give color even to gold,
O lovely peacock born on this earth!
To someone...
To someone, a blessed daughter of fortune,
And a daughter-in-law to my father!
Shall I tell them to bring
The royal throne right here?
And into your hands,
Shall I give the royal scepter right now?
Seeing you, shall I tell
The minister to stand up in respect?
Seeing you, shall I tell my minister
To stand up in respect?
Whichever direction you look,
Shall I make it your private royal palace?
To someone...
To someone, a blessed daughter of fortune,
And a daughter-in-law to my father!
Sing... sing!
In this play called desire,
You who spoke the very first lines,
In a contest of handsome men,
You who defeated Manmadhan (god of love)!
Resembling the very hero
That my heart longed for, my good man!
Resembling the very hero
That my heart longed for, my good man!
To win the girl you desire,
You are a master of clever charms!
To someone, to someone...
To someone, a noble son,
And a son-in-law to my father!
To someone, a noble son,
To give color even to gold,
To give color even to gold,
O handsome peacock born on this earth!
To someone, a noble son,
And a son-in-law to my father!
Aaa... aaa...
There is no time to tie the wedding knot,
There is no one to perform the wedding,
There is no one around to question us,
Why don't you give what you have to give...?
There is no time to tie the wedding knot... aha,
There is no one to perform the wedding... aha,
There is no time to tie the wedding knot,
There is no one to perform the wedding,
There is no one around to question us,
Why don't you give what you have to give...?
Why don't you give what you have to give...?
Gathering the entire town,
With all the relatives watching,
We haven't even exchanged flower garlands yet,
Don't you have the patience to wait a little?
Gathering the entire town... aha,
With all the relatives watching... ahaa,
Gathering the entire town,
With all the relatives watching,
We haven't even exchanged flower garlands yet,
Don't you have the patience to wait a little?
Don't you have the patience to wait a little?
