Devadhai ilam devi Unnai chutrum aavi
Kaadhalaana kanneer Kaanavillaiyaa…
Oh nee illaamal naanaa
Devadhai ilam devi Unnai chutrum aavi
Kaadhalaana kanneer Kaanavillaiyaa…
Oh nee illaamal naanaa
Yerikkarai poovellaam Endhan peyar sollaadho
Poo vasanthamae Nee maranthathen
Aatru manal meedengum Naan varaindha kolangal
Dheva mullaiyae kaanavillaiyae
Idhu kaadhal sodhanai Iru kannil vedhanai
Oru vaanambaadi dhegam vaadi Paadum sogam kodi
Devadhai ilam devi Unnai chutrum aavi
Kaadhalaana kanneer Kaanavillaiyaa…
Oh nee illaamal naanaa
Endhanathu kallaraiyil Veroruvan thoonguvathaa
Vidhi enbathaa Sadhi enbathaa
Sondhamulla kaadhaliyae Vatri vitta kaaviriyae
Undhan aaviyai Nee veruppadhaa
Idhu kanneer rathiri En kannae aadhari
Ivan theyum thedhi Kanneer jaadhi
Needhaan endhan paadhi
Devadhai ilam devi Unnai chutrum aavi
Kaadhalaana kanneer Kaanavillaiyaa…
Oh nee illaamal naanaa Oh nee illaamal naanaa
Oh nee illaamal naanaa
