High up on the holy hill...
The great lord has made his home...
The folk singer began his song,
Listen, the chants of Arohara echo around!
In the pitch-black night, love is a playful tussle,
Valli, the sway of your waist sets the rhythm,
I will arrive and stand before you like a boon!
Wrap me in your embrace and tease me with longing,
Valli, your ankles dance to the beat,
Gliding like feet on a smooth washing stone!
Your graceful nose is shaped like a sweet mango,
When your water pot tilts as we bump, that is my true delight!
Pretty Valli, I must adorn your forehead with a jewel,
If you come close into my arms, I will marry you with the sacred thread!
Riding atop my peacock, I will come dancing,
Clearing away all your karma,
I will lift you up in my arms!
As Lord Murugan, I will shower my blessings,
Listening to the sweet Tamil flowing,
The high skies will pour down rain!
Even though Lord Shiva is your father,
Praying to you brings joy, and sorrow will never come near.
[Dialogue]
Even if they say you grew wise too young,
When the heart prays to you, happiness fills the soul.
Like sweet words on poet Avvai's tongue, the name I speak is Vadivel,
Whenever we praise you, every day turns into a festival!
Riding atop my peacock, I will come dancing,
Clearing away all your karma,
I will lift you up in my arms!
As Lord Murugan, I will shower my blessings,
Listening to the sweet Tamil flowing,
The high skies will pour down rain!
There are no reins that can hold me back!
I will cross oceans and mountains and win!
I was born to protect our flag and our people!
I have risen to strike down the enemy!
I will be there even within the drinking water,
I will feel the heartbeat of every farmer.
Where is the beginning? Where is the end?
I will wipe the tears from the eyes of those who cry!
Riding atop my peacock, I will come dancing,
Clearing away all your karma,
I will lift you up in my arms!
As Lord Murugan, I will shower my blessings,
Listening to the sweet Tamil flowing,
The high skies will pour down rain!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

'Yeru Mayileri' from the movie 'Sardar' (2022) is an energetic folk-devotional track that blends praise of Lord Murugan (Aarumuga Saami) with hero-centric motifs of heroism, justice, and protection. Sung by actor Karthi himself, the song evokes classical Tamil folk traditions through rhythm, folk instruments, and devotional chants like 'Arogara'. The lyrics move from playful, romantic rural imagery featuring Goddess Valli to an uplifting celebration of strength, righteousness, and social duty—such as protecting farmers and clean drinking water. It links devotion to Lord Murugan with pride in the Tamil language and an unyielding commitment to wipe away the tears of the suffering.
