Muruga Muruga MurugaMuruga, Muruga, Muruga!
Eththanai Maantharukku Oru Kovil PothaathuOne temple just isn’t enough for so many people.
Saththiya Thirunaayagaa Muruga Saththiya ThirunaayagaOh righteous and divine leader, Muruga, oh righteous divine leader.
Eththanai Manamundo Aththanai GunamundruThere are as many different characters as there are minds.
Yaenendru Sol Velavaa MurugaaTell me why this is, oh Velava, Muruga?
Yaenendru Sol VelavaaTell me why, oh Velava?
Eththanai Maantharukku Oru Kovil PothaathuOne temple just isn’t enough for so many people.
Saththiya Thirunaayagaa Muruga Saththiya ThirunaayagaOh righteous and divine leader, Muruga, oh righteous divine leader.
Padaiththaalum Uyirkalukku GurubeedamaeYou’re the foundation and guru for all living things you’ve created.
Perumpanaththaasaiyae Silarin PalibeedamaeBut for some, the greed for vast wealth becomes their sacrificial altar.
Paduththaalum Ezhunthaalum Kann MunnamaeWhether they’re sleeping or waking up, right before their eyes…
Silarkku Padhavi Padhavi Ennum Oru EnnamaeSome have only one thought, and that’s of power and position.
Eththanai Maantharukku Oru Kovil PothaathuOne temple just isn’t enough for so many people.
Saththiya Thirunaayagaa Muruga Saththiya ThirunaayagaOh righteous and divine leader, Muruga, oh righteous divine leader.
Paavigal Palarundu Un NilaththilaeThere are so many sinners here in your land.
Appaavigal Silarundu Un PadaippilaeYet there are a few innocent souls in your creation too.
Kovil Evarkku Vaiththaai KolamurugaaWho did you really build the temple for, oh beautiful Muruga?
Verum Koshaththil Enna Payan Kooru MurugaaTell me, Muruga, what’s the use in empty chanting?
Eththanai Maantharukku Oru Kovil PothaathuOne temple just isn’t enough for so many people.
Saththiya Thirunaayagaa Muruga Saththiya ThirunaayagaOh righteous and divine leader, Muruga, oh righteous divine leader.
Thaan Endra Agangaaram AzhiththiduvaaiPlease destroy the ego that makes them say “I”.
Selvam Thamakkendru Ninaipporai OzhiththiduvaaiWipe out the greed of those who think wealth belongs only to them.
Needhi Niyaayangal NilaikattumaeLet justice and fairness stand tall and prevail.
Nalla Nermaiyai Ivvulagam MadhikkattumaeMay this world learn to respect true honesty.
Nermaiyai Ivvulagam MadhikkattumaeMay this world learn to respect true honesty.
Eththanai Maantharukku Oru Kovil PothaathuOne temple just isn’t enough for so many people.
Saththiya Thirunaayagaa Muruga Saththiya ThirunaayagaOh righteous and divine leader, Muruga, oh righteous divine leader.
