Kaalam enum noolilaeaeae… Ingu paesum bommaigal aadudhu aaaa
Paavam rendu bommaiyum vidum… Kanneer kannatthil odudhu
Aaaaaaaaaaaaa…aa
Ammaa enum vaartthaithaan Pala arththam solgira vaakkiyam
Yellorkkum vaaikkumaa Adhai kaadhaal kaetkira baakkiyam
Dhaevan tharum thaaimaithaan Vaendaam enum penmai thaan
Oru vindhai aanadhaeae
Ammaa enum vaartthaithaan Pala arththam solgira vaakkiyam
Yellorkkum vaaikkumaa Adhai kaadhaal kaetkira baakkiyam
Kandrugalai eendredukka Aadum maadum anjudhaa
Karpath thadai vaendum endru Dheivaththidam kenjudhaa
Pillai ondru vaendum endru Yeththanaiyo thaaik kulam
Koyil kulam saami endru Sutri vandhu vaendidum
Sutri vandha podhilum Petredukka koodumo
Mukkulikkum yaarumae Mutthedukka aagumo
Pennai oru dheivamaai Paesugindra kaaranam
Aval thaangum thaaimai thaan
Ammaa enum vaartthaithaan Pala arththam solgira vaakkiyam
Yellorkkum vaaikkumaa Adhai kaadhaal kaetkira baakkiyam
Dhaevan tharum thaaimaithaan Vaendaam enum penmai thaan

Ai irandu maadham yendru Annai padum vaedhanai
Kai irandil thaenai alli kondu Varum saadhanai
Sorum indri neerum indri Saambal thinna thondralaam

Pachai vanna thaar vidum Vaazhai maram saaindhidum
Muththukkalai eendridum Sippigalum maaindhidum
Pillaigalai thaangidum Penmai uyir vaazhndhidum

Song Meaning & Analysis
The song "Kaalam Ennum" from 'Thalattu Ketkuthamma' is a poignant ode to motherhood, exploring its profound significance and the sacrifices involved. It metaphorically describes humans as "talking dolls dancing on the thread of time," highlighting the transient nature of life and the inherent sorrows. The central theme revolves around the word "Amma" (Mother), portraying it as a powerful sentence filled with countless meanings, a blessing not everyone is fortunate enough to experience or hear. The lyrics question why animals don't fear childbirth or seek birth control, contrasting it with the human desire for children, often leading countless women to pray in temples for the blessing of a child.
The song further elevates the status of a mother, asserting that the very reason a woman is revered as a goddess is due to the sacred act of bearing a child. It vividly describes the ten months of a mother's suffering during pregnancy, equating it to an achievement, and contrasts the potential hardships (like feeling like eating ash) with the immense joy and sweet kisses received from her child. The lyrics conclude by emphasizing that while nature's creations like banana trees and pearl-bearing oysters perish after fulfilling their purpose, the woman who bears children lives on, a divine decree affirming the eternal value and enduring legacy of motherhood.
