English meaning
Pallavi
Oh Muruga
give me a heart,
That would make me bow down to you with a melted heart.
Anupallavi
I don’t have any other help, oh God who helps those in trouble,
Oh Subrahmanya who is
saluted by devas and sages.
Charanam
Oh Son born to the three eyed Shiva and Parvathi,
Oh Shanumukha , Oh nephew of Lord
Vishnu ,
Oh Singaravela of
Sikkal , Oh Guha,
Oh consort of
Valli and DEvasena , thinking
about you.
my favourite song
ReplyDeleteI think the Pallavi translates to something different from what you have indicated.. My take is as follows:
ReplyDeleteNekkurugi Unaip paniya kal
nenjan enakkarulvai, Muruga
"Oh Muruga, give me, the one with a heart of stone -- who doesn't devoutly and completely bow to you, deliverance"
