The video features the iconic Tamil devotional song "Enna Kavi Paadinaalum" (என்ன கவி பாடினாலும்), composed by Sri Anayampatti Adisesha Iyer and soulfully rendered by Madurai S. Somasundaram (Madurai Somu).
Set in the melancholic Raga Neelamani, the song is a devotee's heartfelt plea and expression of despair to Lord Murugan. Below is the English translation of the lyrics based on the structure of the song:
Pallavi (Opening)
Enna kavi paadinaalum undan manam (ullam) irangavillai
Innum enna sodanaiyaa murugaa murugaa...
Translation:
Whichever poem or song I sing, your heart still does not melt.
How much more will you test me, Oh Muruga, Muruga?
Anupallavi (Sub-theme)
Un annaiyum ariyavillai tandaiyo ninaippadillai
Un maamiyum paarppadillai maamano ketpadillai
Translation:
Your mother (Goddess Parvati/Shakti) does not acknowledge my plight, and your father (Lord Shiva) does not even think of me.
Your aunt (Goddess Lakshmi) does not cast her eyes on me, and your uncle (Lord Vishnu) does not listen to my cries.
(Implied meaning: Without your divine family looking out for me, I am left completely helpless and without blessings.)
Charanam (Verse)
Akshara laksham tanda anban bhoja raajan illai
PakshamuDane azhaittu parishaLikka yaarum illai
Ik-shanaTHil nee ninaindhal enakkor kuraivum illai
LakshiyamO unakkillai unnai naan viduvadillai
Translation:
The generous King Bhoja—who famously rewarded poets with a hundred thousand coins for every single letter—is no longer here.
There is no one left in this world to call upon me with true sympathy and reward me.
Yet, if you only thought of me at this very fraction of a second, I would want for nothing.
Is it your goal to remain indifferent to me? Even if you don't care, I will never let go of you!
