Kanmaniyae raadhai enum Kaadhaliyae naan virumbum
Pen maniyae aadai kattum Painkiliyae …ae
Kannan vanthaan paatisaikka Kavalaigalai vittu vidu …uu
Kaalsalangai saththamida Medaiyilae vattamiduuu

Gangai karai mannanadi Kannan malar kannanadi
Vangakadal vannanadi Ullangavar kalvanadi

Nenjil ezhum alaigalilae Neechal idum ilainjanadi
Vanjikodi madiyinilae Manjam idum thalaivanadi

Ullaththai eduthen Un kaiyil koduthen
Vellathai pirintha Meenai pol thudithen…

Gangai karai mannanadi Kannan malar kannanadi
Vangakadal vannanadi Ullangavar kalvanadi

Thaththum siru Thaamarai paathangal
Nadaithaan payila Kaththum kadal neeralai pol
Ingu kuzhal thaan neliya Illai ena yaavarum kooridum
Idaithaan odiya Inbam ena en vizhi paarpathu
Imaithaan viriya

{Kaalsadhangai aaduthadi Naal varathaan vaaduthadi} (2)

Munnam pala jenmam vazhiyae Undaanathu un uravae
Innum ennai thottu thodarnthae Panthaaduthu un ninaivae
Uyir vaazhum pennaa Vaa vaa kannaa…

Gangai karai mannanadi Kannan malar kannanadi
Vangakadal vannanadi Ullangavar kalvanadi

Nenjil ezhum alaigalilae Neechal idum ilainjanadi
Vanjikodi madiyinilae Manjam idum thalaivanadi

Ullaththai eduthen Un kaiyil koduthen
Vellathai pirintha Meenai pol thudithen…

Gangai karai mannanadi Kannan malar kannanadi
Vangakadal vannanadi Ullangavar kalvanadi

Santham tharum aadalum paadalum Sugamaai malarum
Suttum vizhi paarvayil aayiram Nilavaai pozhiyum
Angam oru aalilai pol ingu Nadanam puriyum
Anbae ena madhavan thol thoda Nedunaal urugum…

{Kaathiruppaan kaiyanaikka Kaadhaliyaal meiyanaikka }(2)

Kannan manam andhapuramae Vanthaadidum muthucharamae
Achcham vidum pachchai kiliyae Avan thaal dhinam naththum thaniyae
Naalum othum kaadhal vetham…

Gangai karai mannanadi Kannan malar kannanadi
Vangakadal vannanadi Ullangavar kalvanadi

Nenjil ezhum alaigalilae Neechal idum ilainjanadi
Vanjikodi madiyinilae Manjam idum thalaivanadi

{Ullaththai eduthen Un kaiyil koduthen
Vellathai pirintha Meenai pol thudithen… } (2)
