En annai dhesamae Naan unnai ketkiraen
Oru dharmam vaazhavae naan needhi ketkiraen Engal karangalil yaeno vilangugal
Naangal sudhanthira naattin adimaigal Naangal sudhanthira naattin adimaigal

En annai dhesamae Naan unnai ketkiraen
Oru dharmam vaazhavae naan needhi ketkiraen

{Veyilum illamal mazhaiyum illamal
Kodhikkum nenjodu uzhaikkum varkkangalae
Vidivum illamal mudivum illamal
Pala perin vaazhkkai theruvil nirkkindrathae} (2)

Oru gangai vanthae Vayalgalil paainthaalenna
Vayal engum ingae Kadhirmani saainthaalenna
Varumai kodumai idhuvaa urimai Badhil engae engae yaar solla

En annai dhesamae Naan unnai ketkiraen
Oru dharmam vaazhavae naan needhi ketkiraen

{Oru gandhiyalla oru nooru gandhi
Piranthaalum engal admai maraathathaa
Kalangum kannodu pulambum nenjodu
Thudikkindra yaezhai thuyaram theeraathathaa} (2)

Oru veedum illai Kuruviyin koodum illai
Pasi ondrae kandom Sudhandhira engae kandom
Kodiyo uyaram nilaiyo thuyaram vizhiyellaam kanneer kolangal

En annai dhesamae Naan unnai ketkiraen
Oru dharmam vaazhavae Naan needhi ketkiraen
Engal karangalil yaeno vilangugal Naanal sudhanthira naattin adimaigal

Song Meaning & Analysis

This song is a poignant and powerful lament from the perspective of the common people in an independent nation, questioning the true meaning of freedom when widespread poverty and injustice persist. It expresses the deep disillusionment of those who fought for independence, only to find themselves still shackled by economic hardship and social inequality. The lyrics highlight the plight of the working class, whose lives are characterized by endless toil and suffering, with no end in sight, despite the nation's supposed sovereignty.

The song critically examines the gap between the ideals of independence and the harsh realities faced by the poor. It questions whether the sacrifices made by leaders like Gandhi have truly brought about a change in their 'slavery' to hunger and despair. The imagery of a high-flying flag contrasting with sorrowful lives and tear-filled eyes underscores the hypocrisy of a nation that celebrates freedom while its citizens lack basic necessities like food and shelter. It's a desperate plea for justice and righteousness from the 'motherland' itself, urging it to acknowledge and alleviate the suffering of its own people.
