If you think of Him, Vadivelan will come
Smiling, the tribal girl (Valli)
He embraces,
Her lips like ripe red fruit,
He kisses with love
Placing His hand on her waist,
He draws her close
Showering all His love,
He gives her heaven
Aah... Aah... Aah... Aah...
Placing His hand on her waist,
He draws her close
Showering all His love,
He gives her heaven
Vadivelan will come
He is the generous Lord of Thanigai
He is the king of beauty
If you think of Him, Vadivelan will come
Muruga, Muruga, Muruga, Muruga
Muruga, Muruga, Muruga, Muruga
Muruga, Muruga, Muruga, Muruga
He grants the boons His devotees ask for
He always appears right before their eyes
He grants the boons His devotees ask for
He always appears right before their eyes
He destroys the enmity of the wicked
Bearing the rooster flag, He is so sweet to us
He destroys the enmity of the wicked
Bearing the rooster flag, He is so sweet to us
Bearing the rooster flag, He is so sweet to us
Vadivelan will come
He is the generous Lord of Thanigai
He is the king of beauty
If you think of Him, Vadivelan will come
Shall I sing
Thirumurugatruppadai (ancient poem guiding to Murugan)?
Or shall I sing Thiruppugazh (hymns of praise)
and dance right here?
Shall I sing
Thirumurugatruppadai?
Or shall I sing Thiruppugazh
and dance right here?
Shall I sing the verses of
Kandar Sashti Kavasam (hymn of protection)?
Shall I hold out my hands before Him
and swim in an ocean of victory?
Shall I sing the verses of
