Elelo elelo elo yaala
Carrying us forward, the boat sails on water
Elelo elelo elo yaala
Searching for a way across the distance
Did you bring news today,
Uncle Moon?
This sweet moon searching for a companion
Hoo ooo hoo oooo
Hoo ooo ooo ra ri
Did you bring news today,
Uncle Moon?
This sweet moon searching for a companion
Did you bring wedding gifts,
Uncle Moon,
To unite her with her beloved?
At this time of becoming a mother,
She stood bright like the twilight sky
Did the great king pray for you
and offer his worship?
The sage's daughter,
he made his very own
All across his heart,
you are the only one who stands
Elelo elelo elo yaala
Did he strike you with a sidelong glance?
Elelo elelo elo yaala
Your cheeks blushed red with shyness
Appearing before the king who rules the realm,
He will say his entire life is yours
On the day your beloved comes to your side,
He will hold you close to his chest! Hoo…
To the rhythm of the drums, he will come dancing
Lifting you in a palanquin, he will carry you around
Showering flowers, he will take you along, my goddess
On this earth, you are as lovely as Menaka
You are the blessing that every heart longs for
Elelo elelo elo yaala
A boat happily gliding on the water
Thanthane thanane, the swaying boat
A woman's heart swings like a cradle
When struggles strike in the vast deep waters,
This swaying boat will keep us safe! Hoo…
Rising above anger and curses,
We will surge ahead like a fire carrying life! Hoo…
The magical river of the heart,
it never stops flowing
Even if you say it is enough,
the heart will not listen
Even if this endless river dries up
and turns into mere mud,
This graceful flower boat will bring you to the shore
From now on, every single day,
all good things will be yours
Elelo elelo elo yaala
We have arrived just as we hoped
Elelo elelo elo yaala
You have finally reached your home
