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
Oram poi padukka Thembirukkum pozhakka

Eera mannu eesa mannu Nanja mannu… punja mannu
Panjamilla senja mannu
