Piththaagi thottil ondrai Vilai koduththu vaangi vanthaen
Vaiththaatta pillai illai Villaikku virkka yaarumillai
Illaatha pillaikku Naan enna solli thaalaatta
Illaatha pillaikku Naan enna solli thaalaatta
Eththanaiyo peyar irunthum Entha peyar naan sootta
Illaathathondrum illai Irunthum oru pillai illai
Pollaatha deivangal En pulampalaiyum ketkkavillai
Illaatha pillaikku Naan enna solli thaalaatta
Karikaraikkum thengaaiyai Kaiyentha pillaiyillai
Nirai kudaththu thanneerai Eeandralaiya pillaiyillai
Mazhai peithor vaasalilae Mann alaiya pillaiyillai
Maakkolam thanai azhikka Magan ondru enakkillai
Illaatha pillaikku Naan enna solli thaalaatta
Vaazhai maram kulau thalli Vaazhntha payan thaan adaiyum…aa…
Kozhiyinam petra payan Kunjugalaaithaan theriyumaa
Paazhum maladi endra pattam pettrathandri Yaezhai naan enna pettraen
Irul niraintha vaazhkkai ini
Illaatha pillaikku Naan enna solli thaalaatta
Eththanaiyo peyar irunthum Entha peyar naan sootta
Illaatha pillaikku Naan enna solli thaalaatta
Song Meaning & Analysis
This poignant song delves into the profound sorrow and unfulfilled longing of a woman who desperately yearns for a child. She expresses her anguish over having prepared for a child, even buying a cradle, only to face the emptiness of not having one. The lyrics beautifully capture her emotional turmoil as she questions how she can sing a lullaby or choose a name for a child that does not exist, highlighting the deep void in her life despite having everything else.
The song further illustrates her pain through vivid imagery of daily life, where the absence of a child is felt in simple acts like grating coconut, playing in the rain, or erasing a kolam. She contrasts her unfulfilled existence with the natural world, where a banana tree bears fruit and a hen raises chicks, fulfilling their purpose. Her lament culminates in the despair of being labeled 'barren' and facing a future shrouded in darkness, making this a powerful expression of a woman's yearning for motherhood.
