Sita Ramam’s Kanunna kalyanam Lyrics Translation
The duet’s core develops through a series of questions and answers. The singers dismiss the need for celebratory music, stating the commotion in their hearts is sufficient. They also identify the ten directions as their only required relatives.
Kaanunna Kalyaanam EmainnadhiWhat has become of this wedding before our eyes?
Swayamvaram ManoharamIt’s an enchanting ceremony of our own choosing
Raarunna Vaibhogam EtuvantidhiWhat kind of grandeur is to come?
Prathikshanam Maro VaramEvery moment is another blessing
Viduvani Mudi Idhi KadhaThis is an unbreakable knot, isn’t it?
Mugimpuleni GaadhagaaDestined to be a story without an end
Taramula PaatugaaFor all the generations to come
Taragani PaatagaaLike a song that will never fade
Prathi Jatha SaakshigaaWith every couple as its witness
Pranayamu Nelagaa SadhaaSo that love may always reign
Kannulloni Kalalu AnniAll the dreams held in my eyes
Karigiponi KalalugaaAre becoming dreams that never fade away
Kallamundhu PaaraadagaaAs they dance right here before me
Kannulloni Kalalu AnniAll the dreams held in my eyes
Karigiponi KalalugaaAre becoming dreams that never fade away
Kallamundhu PaaraadagaaAs they dance right here before me
Chuttu Evaru UndarugaaThere’s no one around us, is there?
Gittani ChuupulugaaNo disapproving glances to be seen
Chuttaalantu KondharundaaligaaWe’re supposed to have relatives, aren’t we?
Dikkulu UnnavigaaThe world in all directions is here for us
Gatti Melamantu UndadhaaWon’t there be loud celebratory music?
Gundeloni Sandadi ChaaladaaIsn’t the commotion in our hearts enough?
Pelli Peddalevaru ManakiWho will be the elders for our wedding?
Manasule Kadhaa Avaa SareIt’s our hearts, isn’t it? That’s all we need
Kannulloni Kalalu AnniAll the dreams held in my eyes
Karigiponi KalalugaaAre becoming dreams that never fade away
Kallamundhu PaaraadagaaAs they dance right here before me
Kannulloni Kalalu AnniAll the dreams held in my eyes
Karigiponi KalalugaaAre becoming dreams that never fade away
Kallamundhu PaaraadagaaAs they dance right here before me
Thagu Tharunam Idhi KadhaThis is the perfect moment, isn’t it?
Madhiki ThelusugaaMy heart already knows it
Thadupari Mari EmitataaSo then, what happens next?
Thamari ChoravataThat’s for you to decide
Bidiyamidenti KotthagaaWhy this sudden shyness?
Tharuniki Theguva ThagadugaaA young woman shouldn’t be so bold, you see
Palakani Pedavi VenakaBehind these lips that do not speak
Piluvu Polchuko Sare MariRecognize the invitation, alright then
Kannulloni Kalalu AnniAll the dreams held in my eyes
Karigiponi KalalugaaAre becoming dreams that never fade away
Kallamundhu PaaraadagaaAs they dance right here before me
Kannulloni Kalalu AnniAll the dreams held in my eyes
Karigiponi KalalugaaAre becoming dreams that never fade away
Kallamundhu PaaraadagaaAs they dance right here before me
The track takes the form of an intimate dialogue set to a gentle melody. This back-and-forth structure reinforces the idea that their bond requires no outside validation. The lyrics define their connection as an unbreakable knot and a story without an end.
