Sri Godha

 

See, my friend

Blinking lights, in my dream,

Changing hues

Yellow and pink flowers

Gleam and woo

Thousand caparisoned elephants

Catwalk and shimmer, when

‘Nethipattam’, bells and

Necklaces add luster,

Gold head gears on top

A festive fever catches fast

With Pancari melam and orchestra

Under tinseled silk parasol

And peacock feather fan,

Vencamaram sways up and down

‘Purana porkudams’ in a row to bow

‘Maavilai thoranams’ smile to welcome

Here comes my Narayanan majestically

(2)

Red and green silks

Add gusto to the wind

Pearls run everywhere

To twinkle ‘manapandal’

‘Kamugam’ and ‘paalai’

Hanging hither and thither

See, my friend

Rose and jasmine, in my dream

Spraying aroma around

Tomorrow is the wedding, fixed

And It’s a surprise indeed

To see Thirumagal’s solumate

Govindan’s entry with long strides.

Like a lion on a stage.
