Alta maappu ithu delta rappu Alta maappu ithu delta rappu
Singapore sattam Athu nikkala nikkala
Thanjavur singam Athu sikkala sikkala
Sottavaalai kuttiyada Mappila maappila
Medal vaangi kuthungada Nenjila nenjila
Kaveri karaiyora Esamaanu naanathaanda
Rajarajachozhanin Per sollum peranda
Alta maappu ithu delta rappu Alta maappu ithu delta rappu
Kuthira samba mana manakka Kurangu samba panam sezhikka
Panam sezhikka panam sezhikka Yeh jeeraka samba kaipudikka
Kichadi samba padi alakka padi alakka Alta maappu ithu delta rappu
Aaaaaaahhaa…aaaa Aaaa…aaaaa
Ada arakorai aadaiyil mousa Foreign ponnunga thiriyum mousa
Athil mappu illai kelu mappillai Namma ponnunga kenda kaalula
Ada kaattura kickukku eedilla
Yeh nellu kuthum olakka Nila soru parukka
