Ennadi kalyaani mullappoo naanamHey Kalyani, why do you have the shyness of a jasmine flower?
Munnaazhi chinkaram kande kandeneI’ve gazed upon your overflowing beauty and charm.
Kalivakku chollana vikrithiYou’re a mischief-maker who says such teasing words.
Thanu kadanjeduthoru prakrithiYou have a form that feels perfectly carved from nature itself.
Oru kess paattinte valakilukkamaay kadavilethiyalloYou’ve arrived at the riverbank like the chiming bangles in a folk song.
Puzhathaalatheyyathilalinju vaa ulanju vaaCome, swaying and dissolving into the rhythm of the river’s dance.
Oru vallappaadinakale nilkkaathe thuzhanju vaaDon’t stay a boat’s length away; row closer to me.
Ennadi kalyaani mullappoo naanamHey Kalyani, why do you have the shyness of a jasmine flower?
Munnaazhi chinkaram kande kandeneI’ve gazed upon your overflowing beauty and charm.
Ninnodoppam vaazhaanini ennaano yogamWhen will I have the luck to finally live my life with you?
Munnottoppam vannittippam pinnottaadaan bhaavamYou came forward with me, but now you seem in the mood to pull back.
Kalicholleedalle kalicholleedalle vallathullam novumDon’t tease me, don’t tease me; my heart will hurt so much.
Vili ketteedaanum kootteedaanum njanundallo koodeI’m right here with you, to heed your call and keep you company.
Ennaa thumbi kalyaanam kaanam thumbi ponnonamWhen is the wedding, my little dragonfly? Let’s celebrate a golden Onam.
Neeyum njanum onnichennaal ennum ponnonamIf you and I are together, every day will be like a golden Onam.
Paalum neerum oorum mannil njattadiyagoshamA festival of planting in the soil where milk and water flow.
Ootum paavum neyyum kannil karpoorakazhakamIn your eyes that weave dreams, I see a divine, glowing light.
Ennadi kalyaani mullappoo naanamHey Kalyani, why do you have the shyness of a jasmine flower?
Munnaazhi chinkaram kande kandeneI’ve gazed upon your overflowing beauty and charm.
Padam pachappadam kanivettam kanduvalloI’ve seen the lush green fields and the first golden light of harvest.
Koottikkondu vaayo manimailaanchippennaaleWill you take me along, oh girl with the beautiful henna?
Kadakandaattachaalellam puthupaayal poovin jaalamThe riverbanks are filled with the magic of new mossy flowers.
Chellakkaayal neele kaliyaadum kaattin jaalamAlong the beloved backwaters, the wind plays its magical games.
Enthaa thumbi thullaathe kannaam thumbi mindaatheWhy aren’t you dancing, little dragonfly? Why are you so silent?
Njanum neeyum onnichennaal ennum ponnonamIf you and I are together, every day will be like a golden Onam.
