Idhu natta nadu raathiri Naan aththa mava maadhiri
Idhu natta nadu raathiri Naan aththa mava maadhiri
Oru maalai idu illa aala vidu

Idhu natta nadu raathiri Naan aththa mava maadhiri
Enakkena pirandhavan Vishayangal therinjavan
Vevarangal purinjavan yaaruyaa

Idhu natta nadu raathiri Naan aththa mava maadhiri

Ellaarum paathaa ellaarum kettaa Ennaagum en paadu
Machaanae neeyum achaaram podu Appaala om paadu

Sillara ullavan vaangalaam Ada mathavan paathu thaan yengalaam
Aei sillara ullavan vaangalaam Ada matthavan paatthu thaan yaengalaam

Chinna vayasu ponnu Ila vaazha kannu
Enna pudichirundhaa vaaiyaa On madiyila thaan
Konjam ganam irundhaa Enna azhaichukittu poiyaa

Idhu natta nadu raathiri Naan aththa mava maadhiri
Oru maalai idu illai aala vidu Idhu natta nadu raathiri
Naan aththa mava maadhiri

Kai kaasa podu enkooda aadu Kadan solla koodaadhu
Kaadhoda yaarum poo sutha vandhaa En kitta vegaadhu

Vandhavan yaarumae sokkanum En vaasalil queuvilae nikkanum
Aei vandhavan yaarumae sokkanum En vaasalil queuvilae nikkanum

Nenju thudikkiradhaa Thandhi adikkiradhaa
Kaiyil kaasu irundhaa vaaiyaa Vetti pasangalukkum
Vethu vettukkum thaan Ingu edam illaiyae poiyaa

Idhu natta nadu raathiri Naan aththa mava maadhiri
Oru maalai idu illai aala vidu

Idhu natta nadu raathiri Naan aththa mava maadhiri
Enakkena pirandhavan Vishayangal therinjavan
Vevarangal purinjavan yaaruyaa

Idhu natta nadu raathiri Naan aththa mava maadhiri
Idhu natta nadu raathiri Naan aththa mava maadhiri
