Athaanda ithaanda arunachalam naanthaanda – hey
Athaanda ithaanda arunachalam naanthaanda
Annai thamizh naatula naan anaivarukum sonthamda
Athaanda ithaanda arunachalam naanthaanda
Annai thamizh naatula naan anaivarukum sonthamda
Aandavan nadathiduvaanda hoi hoi hoi
Arunachalam nadathiduvaanda hoi hoi hoi
Naan uppu potta aala marapathillada
Aana thapu senja aala viduvathillada … aaaaaaaa
Athaanda ithaanda arunachalam naanthaanda
Annai thamizh naatula naan anaivarukum sonthamda
Chorous : Ho ho ho ho ho ho hoo hoo hoo hoo
En kanirandaiyum kaapaathum kanimaiyum neethaan
En thozhgalilae muzhubalamaai ullavanum neethaan
En nenjil vaazhnthuvarum thairiyamum neethaan
En sollil kudi irukum sathiyamum neethaan
Chorous : Hoo hoo hoo hoo
Aah inuyiraai vanthavanae en uyirum neethaan
En iruthayathil thudi thudipaai irupavanum neethaan
Ennampol vetri pera uzhaipavanum neethaan
En iruthivarai kooda varum kootaniyum neethaan
Chorous : { Om arunaachaleshwaraaya namaha } (2)
Ilamaiyil uzhaipavan muthumaiyil sirikiraan Ilamaiyil paduthavan muthumaiyil thavikiraan
Unathu rathamum enathu rathamum Uravu rathamada
Neeum naanum naanum neeum Nirathaal gunathaal onnada – haha
Athaanda ithaanda arunachalam naanthaanda
Annai thamizh naatula naan anaivarukum sonthamda
Chorous : { Heyyy … hey hey hey hey hey } (2)
{ Ho ho ho ho ho ho hoo hoo } (4)
Thaai endra oru theivam veetoda iruku
Nee thani thaniya kovil kolam alaivathu ethuku
Ammavin paathathil karpooram koluthu
Aanantha kanneeril abisegam nadathu
Chorous : Oh hoo oh hoo
Kaatu vilangellam kozhuthaathan mathipu
Kaavi thuravi ellam melinjaathaan mathipu
Panam konjam irunthaalum koduthathaan mathipu
Nee maganendraal un thaaiyai mathichathaan mathipu
Chorous : { Om arunaachaleshwaraaya namaha } (2)
Thanakenna vaazhbavan irukaiyil irakiraan
Pirarkenna vaazhnthavan iranthumae irukiraan
Unnai vidavum enaku veru uravu illaiyada
Ennai endrum vaazha vaikum
Theivam theivam neeyada – haan
{ Athaanda ithaanda arunachalam naanthaanda
Annai thamizh naatula naan anaivarukum sonthamda } (2)
Aandavan nadathiduvaanda hoi hoi hoi Arunachalam nadathiduvaanda
Naan uppu potta aala marapathillada Aana thapu senja aala viduvathillada
{ Athaanda ithaanda arunachalam naanthaanda
Annai thamizh naatula naan anaivarukum sonthamda } (2)
Song Meaning & Analysis
This song serves as a powerful introduction to the protagonist, Arunachalam, played by Rajinikanth. It establishes his larger-than-life persona, his deep connection to his homeland (Tamil Nadu), and his unwavering principles. The lyrics portray him as a benevolent leader who belongs to everyone, guided by divine will, and committed to justice – never forgetting those who helped him, but relentlessly pursuing those who commit wrongs. It highlights his inner strength, courage, and truthfulness, suggesting that his very existence is intertwined with the well-being of his people.
Beyond the hero's introduction, the song imparts profound life lessons. It emphasizes the importance of hard work in youth for a comfortable old age, the universal bond of humanity, and the supreme value of a mother. It critiques superficial religiosity by stating that the true goddess resides at home, urging respect for one's mother above all else. The philosophy of living for others, rather than for oneself, is also a central theme, asserting that true immortality lies in selfless service. The devotional chants to Lord Arunachaleshwara further underscore the character's spiritual grounding and his role as a righteous protector.
