Chorus: Mangalamani, sound the blessing bell, Mangalamani, let good fortune swell. Ring through the courtyard, ring through the lane, Bring us the harvest, wash away the pain.
Verse 3: Bride walks slow with anklets’ chime, Red and gold and turmeric lime. Elders chant the age-old plea— May your life be long and free.
Verse 2: Fields drink deep from the monsoon skies, Green waves whisper where the millet lies. Plough and oxen, songs in the rain, Hands join hands and lift the strain.
(Chorus)
