Chinna kannaa punnagai manaa Appan pattai keladaa
Unnai polae kallam illaadha Ullam konden naanadaa
Chithira pasum ponnae Pudhu shenbaga poo charamae
Naalai siru thooli aadida vaa…

Chinna kannaa punnagai manaa Appan pattai keladaa
Unnai polae kallam illaadha Ullam konden naanadaa

Ammaa paerai sonnal podhum Oorae anjum appodhu
Oorai pola naanum kooda Oomai saami ippodhu
Maarbil oorum paalil veeram Saerppaal undhan thaai thaanae
Paalai undu veeram kondu Paayum singam nee thaanae

Appan veeram engae pochu Kaalam sollum unnodu
Aatril or kaal saetril or kaal Endrae aachu en paadu
Vaa raajaa vaa vaa vaadaadha poovaa

Chinna kannaa punnagai manaa Appan pattai keladaa
Unnai polae kallam illaadha Ullam konden naanadaa
Chithira pasum ponnae Pudhu shenbaga poo charamae
Naalai siru thooli aadida vaa…

Appaa paattai kekkum kannae Ammaa paattai kelaayo
Appaa meedha ammaa meedha Thappu yaar mel kooraayo
Vaengai meedhu vaedan potta Ambai ellaam naan thaanae
Vaangi kondu thaangi kondu Kaayam konda maan thaanae

Kaayam konda nandrikkkaaga Thaali pichai kettenae
Kaalam seidha kolam endru Thandhai alli pottaanae
Thaayaagi naanae naalaachu kannae

Chinna kannaa punnagai manaa Thaaiyin pattai keladaa
Unnai polae kallam illaadha Ullam konden naanadaa
Chithira pasum ponnae Pudhu shenbaga poo charamae
Naalai siru thooli aadida vaa…

Chinna kannaa punnagai manaa Thaaiyin pattai keladaa
Unnai polae kallam illaadha Ullam konden naanadaa

Song Meaning & Analysis

This poignant song from 'Magudam' beautifully captures the emotional journey of parenthood, reflecting on past struggles and future hopes through the voices of a father and mother addressing their child. The father, once a figure of strength, laments his current diminished state, comparing himself to a 'silent deity' and his life to having 'one foot in the river, one foot in the mud.' He expresses hope that his child will inherit the mother's strength and valor, becoming a 'pouncing lion,' while also hinting at a complex past that time will reveal.

The mother's verses reveal her immense sacrifices and resilience. She portrays herself as a 'wounded deer' who bore the 'arrows' of hardship, implying a difficult past where she endured much for the family. Her plea for the 'Thali' (marriage chain) out of gratitude for her wounds suggests a challenging path to her current role as a mother. Both parents, despite their individual pains, find solace and renewed purpose in their child, seeing in them a pure heart and a bright future, symbolized by the 'beautiful golden child' and 'unfading flower.'
