Arivirukkum anbirukkum Panbirukkum silaridam
Azhagirukkum panamirukkum Pagattirukkum palaridam

Idhu theriyum adhu theriyaathu Idhu theriyum adhu theriyaathu
Idhu theriyum adhu theriyaathu

Yaezhedukkum maaligaiyil irukkira per vazhiga
Eththanaiyo thappu thandaa pannuvaanga
Yaezhai eliyavanga illaatha kaaranaththaal
Yaedho siru thavaru pannuvaanga…

Yaezhedukkum maaligaiyil irukkira per vazhiga

Yaezhai eliyavanga illaatha kaaranaththaal
Yaedho siru thavaru pannuvaanga…

Idhu theriyum adhu theriyaathu Idhu theriyum adhu theriyaathu

Jolly mainargal visiri madippinilae Kizhisal oru kodi irukkum
Thozhilaali thuvaichchu uduththum udaiyilae Thaiyal pala odi irukkum

Kallam ariyaatha paattaali maeniyil Ullapadi vervai azhukkirukkum

Idhu theriyum adhu theriyaathu Idhu theriyum adhu theriyaathu

Song Meaning & Analysis

The song "Idhu Theriyum" from 'Alli Petra Pillai' is a poignant social commentary that contrasts the perceived virtues and vices of the rich and the poor. It highlights the superficiality often associated with wealth, where outward appearances of beauty and money can mask underlying deceit and envy. The lyrics suggest that while some possess knowledge, love, and culture, many others are characterized by beauty, wealth, and ostentation, implying a moral distinction.

The recurring refrain "This is known, that is not known" underscores a deeper truth: society often judges based on visible attributes, failing to see the hidden complexities or true nature of individuals. The song explicitly contrasts the "many wrongs" committed by the wealthy in their mansions with the "small mistakes" of the poor, born out of necessity. It further illustrates this by comparing the superficial tears in a rich man's fan with the honest stitches in a laborer's worn clothes, and the internal 'dirt' of deceit in the rich with the honest 'dirt' of sweat on a laborer's body, advocating for a more empathetic and nuanced understanding of human character beyond social status.
