Chinna ponnu chinna ponnu Kannukkulla enna kannu
Sindhu nadhi adhu thaanaa Sindhuvadhaenadi veenaa
Yaaru senja paavam eppadi thaan theerum

Chinna ponnu chinna ponnu Kannukkulla enna kannu

Sondham ellaam sondham illa Bandham ellaam bandham illa
Vandha thunbam konjam illa Indha nenjam thaangavilla

Onna mattum enni enni Uthamiyaa vaazhndha kanni
Paaduradha paakkaliyaa Paattu chaththam kekkalaiyaa

Kannellaam vazhi melae Kanneeru nadhi polae

Thanga manam kondavarae Thaali onnu thandhavarae
Kanneeru ini venaa Maaraadho thuyar thaanaa
Naanum vandha vela vaangikkitta maala

Chinna ponnu chinna ponnu Kannukkulla enna kannu

Kanda padi onna enni Kaadhalula paadurenae

Nee potta oru thaali En vaazhvil oru kaeli

Thanga manam kondavarae Thaali onnu thandhavarae
Kanneeru ini venaa Maaraadho thuyar thaanaa
Naanum vandha vela vaangikkitta maala

Chinna ponnu chinna ponnu Kannukkulla enna kannu

Nenjam ellaam oru baaram Eppodhum vizhi eeram
Yaaru senja paavam Eppadi thaan theerum

Hmm mm mm mm Hmm mm mm mmm…

Song Meaning & Analysis

The song "Chinna Ponnu" from "Aruvadai Naal" is a poignant lament sung by a woman who is deeply distressed by her circumstances. She addresses herself as a "little girl" whose eyes are filled with tears, comparing them to a flowing river, questioning why she sheds them in vain and whose sin has led to her suffering. The lyrics convey a profound sense of betrayal and loneliness, as she feels that all her relationships and bonds have proven false, and the immense sorrow she carries is unbearable.

She reflects on her past, having lived virtuously and devotedly for her beloved, and wonders if her suffering and lamentations are unseen and unheard. The woman expresses her heartbreak over the "thaali" (wedding chain) given by her husband, which now feels like a cruel mockery of her life. Despite her despair, there's a flicker of hope or a plea for an end to her sorrow, as she recalls the moment she received the garland of marriage. The song beautifully captures the emotional turmoil of a woman grappling with a broken relationship and an uncertain future, burdened by a heavy heart and constant tears, yearning for an end to her plight.
