துந்துபி நாட்டியம் தாளம் எழுப்பிட
ஓமெனும் ஓசை வர
As celestial drums reverberate with rhythmic beats,
As the primordial sound of 'Om' resonates,
தும்புரு நாரதர் தேவக குலத்தவர்
கீர்த்தனம் பாடி வர
As celestial musicians like Tumburu and heavenly beings,
Sing sacred hymns in devotion,
கிண்கிணி மேகலை குலுங்க குலுங்க
இசைக் கோலங்கள் கொண்டாவே
As waistbands and anklets jingle gently,
Celebrating the intricate patterns of music,
திருப்பாதம் அசைந்து வர
பரதம் அழகு பெற
பயிலும் நடனம் இதுவோ
As your sacred feet move in harmony,
Enhancing the ultimate beauty of Bharatanatyam,
Is this the dance being performed?
நர்த்தன வேளையில் விழியின் வழி பல
பாவங்கள் உண்டாகவே அதில்
கான ரசம் வழிய ஞான மழை பொழியும்
அழகன் முருகன் இவனோ
During the dance, from the depths of the eyes,
As various divine emotions manifest,
Overflowing with musical essence and showering a rain of wisdom,
Is he the beautiful Lord Murugan?
அழகன் முருகன் இவனோ

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
minimal summary: 'Yamirukka Bayamen' is a devout classical Tamil composition centered on deep faith in Lord Murugan. The song revolves around a devotee—a dancer—appealing for divine healing and grace so her legs may dance once again solely in service of the Lord. The lyrics evoke legendary accounts such as Lord Murugan dancing for Saint Arunagirinathar and his cosmic dance in Tiruchendur, appealing to his compassion to heal his child. The song vividly describes the divine atmosphere of classical dance, where rhythms, celestial music (Tumburu), and sacred sound ('Om') converge. It celebrates Murugan not only as the ultimate savior whose famous assurance is 'Yamirukka Bayamen' (Why fear when I am here?), but also as the master performer whose divine dance bestows aesthetic joy and spiritual wisdom upon devotees.
