O you who rose up at the heights,

You who leaped into our minds,

You who stayed awake and guarded us,

You who gifted us bundles of gold,

You drove away every illness,

And performed all kinds of wondrous miracles!

Our entire land has completely

Bloomed with joy every single day.

In all our thoughts,

We praised your greatness and brought glory.

Anointing you with sandalwood and fragrant perfume,

We made your shrine smell sweet and holy.

To make our lives strong and prosperous,

You shower us with endless blessings, O Lord!

Worshipping and celebrating you,

This village of Mundasupatti,

Ties a grand turban upon your head!

O you who rose up at the heights,

You who leaped into our minds,

You who stayed awake and guarded us,

You who gifted us bundles of gold,

O Vaanamuni, O Vaanamuni... you,

Once you arrived, what illness can touch us?

O Vaanamuni, O Vaanamuni... you,

Once you arrived, what illness can touch us?

O Vaanamuni, O Vaanamuni... you,

Once you arrived, what illness can touch us?

O Vaanamuni, O Vaanamuni... you,

Once you arrived, what illness can touch us?

Making the universe shake,

Jaga jaga jaga jaga!

Bringing relief and peace to our bodies,

Jaga jaga jaga jaga!

You are the one who descended from above!

You made the seasonal rains pour down,

And filled our hearts and stomachs full!

May you live on for millions of years,

And keep the lamp of our clan burning bright!

O you who rose up at the heights,

You who leaped into our minds,

You who stayed awake and guarded us,

You who gifted us bundles of gold,

O Vaanamuni, O Vaanamuni... you,

Once you arrived, what illness can touch us?

O Vaanamuni, O Vaanamuni... you,

Once you arrived, what illness can touch us?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song is a vibrant, folk-devotional hymn dedicated to 'Vaanamuni', the local guardian deity (Kula Deivam) of the fictional village Mundasupatti from the film 'Mundasupatti' (2014). The villagers praise Vaanamuni for protecting their village from epidemics, bringing seasonal rains, ensuring fruitful harvests, and guarding them day and night. The lyrics capture the authentic spirit of rural Tamil folk worship, where villagers offer sandalwood, javaathu (aromatic civet powder), and honor the deity by placing a traditional turban (mundaasu) on the idol. They pray for his everlasting presence to guide and sustain their generations.
