Appan veetu soththai pola Anubavikka paakureegha
Aththanaikkum poi kanakku Ezhuthi ezhuthi kaatureegha
Appan veetu soththai pola Anubavikka paakureegha
Aththanaikkum poi kanakku Ezhuthi ezhuthi kaatureegha
Thuppu ketta pozhappu idhu Thappu senjae vaazhureegha
Ekkuthappa kelvi ketkka Aalillainu nenaikkureegha
Roadu poda othukki vechadha Veetukunnu pathukureegha
Naatu nilai marandhu Unga paatukkuthaan alaiyureegha
Naayi padura paadu Namma naadu padudhu paaru
Vottu pottadhu ooru Ungala thooki poduvadhu yaaru
Hydher ali kaalathula Potta roadu maaralaiyae
Eththanaiyo katchi vandhum Enga kora theeralaiyae
Kundukuli onna renda Kanakkedukka mudiyalaiyae
Tenderukku vittuputta Kelvi ketka vazhi illaiyae
Kuththam kurai solla vanthaa Ezhaiya thaan yesureenga
Maththapadi mandhiri vanthaa Thaareduthu poosureegha
Thooki podudhu roadu Atha maathi poduvadhaaru
Karbini ponnunga paadu Paththu maasa kanakka
Theekuthu roadu
Yaaru potta roadu Namma sarkar potta roadu
Yaaru potta roadu Namma sarkar potta roadu
Song Meaning & Analysis
This song is a powerful social commentary, criticizing corruption and inefficiency in governance, particularly regarding public infrastructure like roads. It highlights how public funds are misused by officials who treat them as personal wealth, showing false accounts and living corrupt lives. The lyrics express the frustration of the common people who suffer due to neglected infrastructure, comparing the nation's plight to that of a dog.
The song further laments the lack of accountability, where questioning corruption is met with dismissal, and only the poor are blamed. It sarcastically points out that roads are only temporarily fixed with tar when a minister visits, rather than being properly maintained. The dire consequences are emphasized through the suffering of pregnant women due to bumpy roads, symbolizing the broader impact on public health and safety. The repeated question, "Who laid this road? Our government laid this road," serves as a poignant reminder of the government's responsibility and the public's disillusionment.
