Translation

Adi kadha kelu kadha kelu…

Karuvaayan kadha kelu… yei

Adi kadha kelu kadha kelu… Karimettu karuvaayan
Kadha kelu kadha keladi Karimettu karuvaayan kadha pola
Ini indha puvi ezhum kedaiyaadhadi Kattu kadhai illai ottu kadhai illai
Kandu kettu vandhom oruvaaru Vaigai nadhi kara orathula
Andru vaazhndhu jeyichavan varalaaru

Kadha kelu kadha kelu… Karimettu karuvaayan
Kadha kelu kadha keladi…aa…

Unmaiyila avan kallan illa… Yaa yaa yaa aa
Unmaiyila avan kallan illa Marudha jillaavukkae
Avan sella pilla

Sondham oru aal illa Bandham adhu thaan illa
Malaiyum maramum Thavira yaarum illa

Thangachiya panna karpazhichaan Avan rathathula ivan koppalichaan
Innum pazhi vaangaadhu Kannil ima kaayaadhu
Yenavae ivanae sivanaa aarambichaan

Sattathil sonnaanga Avano kolaiyaali
Sanangellaam sonnaanga Avano odaiyaali
Avana thedi thedi vanathil odi odi Punnaagi paduthichaam police police

Kadha kelu kadha kelu… Kadha kelu kadha kelu…
Karimettu karuvaayan Kadha kelu kadha keladi

Thenna marathula paduthiruppaan Aanaa boomiyila kanna vechiruppaan
Kavatta villum undu Kaiyil oru villundu
Villaal adichu edhaiyum Vizhuga veppaan

Kanni kazhiyaadha Kaaliyammaa
Indha karuvaayan mela thaan Kaadhalammaa
Maalai yedhum soodaama Thaali yedhum illaama
Kadaisi varaiyil irundhaa saaviyammaa

Sugam yedhum kaanaama Veyilil sarugaanaal
Illaadha oorukku ivalae vazhi aanaal Innum solla ponaa ilama veenaa ponaa
Karuvaayan kattaikku veragaa ponaa

Kadha kelu kadha kelu… Kadha kelu kadha kelu…
Karimettu karuvaayan Kadha kelu kadha keladi

Nanma senjaa ooril yaavarukkum Andha paara manasula neer irukkum
Aagaannu karuvaayan pera yaar sonnaalum Karuvil irukkum pilla kaiyedukkum

Paavi payalgala ver azhichaan Andha panna kudumbathil
Neer thelichaan Maanam piradhaanam thaan
Naanum karikaalan thaan Ivanae singam endrae pereduthaan

Thekkatthu cheemaikku Avanae adhikaari
Then paandi mannan thaan Vandhaan uru maari
Avana enni kondu nenjil sogam kondu Vaaikkaalaa odudhu vaigai nadhi

Kadha kelu kadha kelu… Kadha kelu kadha kelu…
Karimettu karuvaayan Kadha kelu kadha keladi

Andha karimettu karuvaayan kadha pola Ini indha puvi ezhum kedaiyaadhadi
Kattu kadhai illai ottu kadhai illai Kandu kettu vandhom oruvaaru
Andha vaigai nadhi kara orathula Andru vaazhndhu jeyichavan varalaaru

Kadha kelu kadha kelu… Karimettu karuvaayan
Kadha kelu kadha keladi…aa…

Song Meaning & Analysis

The narrative also weaves in a poignant love story with Kaaliyamma, who loves him unconditionally but tragically withers away without experiencing joy, ultimately sacrificing herself for his cause. Karuvayan is depicted as a benevolent figure to the good, a ruthless destroyer of the wicked, and a symbol of honor and justice, earning him the title of a 'lion' and the 'authority' of the southern region. The song concludes by emphasizing the uniqueness and enduring legacy of his story, suggesting that such a tale of a righteous outlaw, who lived and triumphed on the banks of the Vaigai, will never be found again in the world.

What is the meaning of Adi Kadha Kelu lyrics?
