Apadeeyo Aya yo Mommy Daddy I want a love Marriage
Mommy Daddy you have been good to me
Sending me to Palikoodam (school) making me tea
Now the wife you want to find
Arranged marriage you have on the mind
I want a love Marriage, don't want arranged marriage
Apadeeyo Aya yo Mommy Daddy I want a love Marriage
Mommy, Daddy I like the girl across the street
So pretty in her chudithar makes my heart beat
I think she will be a very good wife
Bear many grandchildren in quick time
I want a love Marriage, don't want arranged marriage
Apadeeyo Aya yo Mommy Daddy I want a love Marriage
Ayayo Ponnu Pakaporoam (Oh no we are going to see the prospective bride)
