I boiled the milk and set out the fruits,
ten whole days have passed now... oh no!
The auspicious hour for my wedding arrived,
and having waited, it slipped right by... hehehehe!
Come, handsome one, come!
Oh Lord Muruga of Tiruchendur!
The one who charms this whole world,
blessed with such a captivating face!
Come, handsome one, come!
Come, handsome one, come!
Oh Lord Muruga of Tiruchendur!
The one who charms this whole world,
blessed with such a captivating face!
Come, handsome one, come!
I am waiting without sleep,
oh Lord who rides the feathered peacock!
I am waiting without sleep,
oh Lord who rides the feathered peacock!
Even my friend longs to see you,
she is restless with desire, oh charming Lord!
Oh charming Lord!
Handsome one, oh handsome one, come!
Oh Lord Muruga of Tiruchendur!
The one who charms this whole world,
blessed with such a captivating face!
Come, handsome one, come!
Look, here he comes, my friend!
It is the six-faced Lord of Palani!
Look, there he comes!
Look, here he comes, my friend!
It is the six-faced Lord of Palani!
Look, there he comes!
Mounted on a dancing peacock,
crossing over forests and mountains,
look, here he comes, my friend!
It is the six-faced Lord of Palani!
Look, there he comes!
Long ago, in the millet fields,
while chasing away the birds...
Shoo, shoo!
Long ago, in the millet fields,
while chasing away the birds...
Filled with desire, like a hunter,
Lord Muruga who took on a disguise!
Look, here he comes, my friend!
It is the six-faced Lord of Palani!
Look, there he comes!
Hmm... why would he ever come here?
Where else would he have gone then?
He must have gone to Deivayanai's house!
What?!
Ah, what arrogance you have!
Ah, what arrogance you have, girl!
Ah, what arrogance you have, girl!
Ah, what arrogance you have!
For a mortal woman to speak
ill of the divine goddess Deivayanai!
Ah, what arrogance you have!
To a place he would never go—
if he did not go there today,
To a place he would never go—
if he did not go there today,
do not spread malicious lies,
do not babble without knowing!
Ah, what arrogance you have!
Greetings to you, beloved Lord of Valli!
Greetings to you, beloved Lord of Valli!
Beloved Lord of Valli, oh Lord!
Claiming that you went to see that cunning Deivayanai,
Claiming that you went to see that cunning Deivayanai,
she has tested my patience with her taunts!
she has tested my patience with her taunts!
Greetings to you, beloved Lord of Valli!
Beloved Lord of Valli... oh Lord!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This track presents a traditional Tamil dance-drama performance centering on Lord Murugan and his divine consorts, Valli and Deivayanai. It begins with playful folk intro lines and transitions into a expressive devotional song. The singer praises Lord Murugan's radiant face that bewitches the universe, recounting how she stays awake yearning for his arrival on his peacock mount while her friend shares a similar desire to see him. The second portion turns into a dramatic folk exchange between the main dancer and her companion. The companion playfully taunts that Murugan has gone off to visit his other wife, Deivayanai, sparking a humorous argument about devotion, rivalry, and sacred propriety. The piece resolves in reverent devotion with full praise and bow to Murugan as Valli's beloved lord.
