Vallik kanavan perai
vazhip pokkan shonnalum
ullam kuzhaiyuthadi kiliye
Unum uruguthadi
malai vadivelavarkku
varisaiyai nan ezhuthum
Olaik kirukkachchuthe kiliye
ullamum kirukkachchuthe
kattuk kodi padarnda
karuvuruk kattukkulle
vittup pirinthanadi kiliye
Velan ennum peronadi
kudik kulavi metta
guhanodu vazhnthathellam
Vedikkai allavadi Kiliye
vegu nalin banthamadi
Madumanai ponalenna
makkal chuttram ponalenna
Kodisch chempon ponalenna kiliye
kurunagai pothumadi
engum niraindiruppon Murugan
ettiyum ettadiruppon Murugan Marugan
kunguma varnanadi kiliye
kumarap perumanadi
Meaning :
Oh parrot of mine.. My heart is overwhelmed with emotion and
my body melts even when travelers utters the name of Lord Muruga, the divine husband of VaLLi.
Oh My dear friend.. I attempted to write a beautiful letter to Vadivelan who dwells on hills (Murugan),
but it ended up in a trivial scribbling. My mind too went berserk
He parted from me in the dark woods which was full of dense wild creepers all over the trees
He is the one who is called Velan.
I have had elaborate dalliance with Guhan.
It is not just trivial play but an eternal bondage.
I don’t care if I lose my house, cattle, family members, and all wealth of gold.
It is enough if I can hold his (Murugan’s) smile in my memory.
Hear, my friend.. The vermilion-colored Lord Murugan is the one who fills the entire world with his divine presence.He gives the impression that he is easily accessible but actually he is not.
