Kaalam kalikkaalam Aagippochudaa
Computer kadavulaaga Maarippochudaa

Aambalaiyae theriyaama Kozhandha porakkudhu
Pombalainga serndhu inga Kudumbam nadakkudhu

Dabbu mattum Vechirundhaa podhum
Neengha thappu gippu Senjaalum gnyaayam

Poiyum saththiyam seiyum Indha boomi yeppadi uiyum
Idha paakka paakka Manushan konda bhakthi koraiyudhu
Vinai theerkka vandha Saami kooda aaththil karaiyudhu

Mahaaganapathi mahaaganapathi Mahaaganapathi mahaaganapathi

Kannagikku koyil kattum Karpu mikka naadidhu
Karpunnaa yethana litre Pudhupponnu ketkkudhu

Ada sela paavaada Adhu malaiyerippochu
Midiyodu chudidhaarum Podhu udaiyaaghippochu

Pozhi punnaakku Palli edhukku
Dd thandhaalae Pattam irukku

Yettil ulladhu ozhukkam Andhu rottil vandhadhum vazhukkum
Idha paakka paakka Manushan konda bhakthi koraiyudhu
Vinai theerkka vandha Saami kooda aaththil karaiyudhu

Mahaaganapathi mahaaganapathi Annanukku jae
Kaadhal mannanukku jae Mara thamizhanukku jae
Namma thalaivanukku jae jae Thalaivanukku jae jae
Thalaivanukku jae jae

Thiraiyila poigala sonnaa Saadhisanam nambudhu
Karuthulla kavinjan sonnaa Kaadha dhooram odudhu

Ada saththulla dhaaniyam Adhu kaanaama pochu
Verum pokkulla arisi Podhu unavaagi pochu

Paasam kanneeru pazhaiya tholla Thaayae seththaalum azhuvadhilla
Ada yezhukundalavaada Idhu innaikku thirundhum naadaa
Idha paakka paakka Manushan konda bhakthi koraiyudhu
Vinai theerkka vandha Saami kooda aaththil karaiyudhu

Mahaaganapathi mahaaganapathi

Song Meaning & Analysis

The song "Kaalam Kalikaalam" is a satirical commentary on the moral and societal degradation perceived in the modern era, often referred to as 'Kali Yuga' in Hindu mythology. It highlights various contemporary issues such as the rise of technology (computers becoming gods), changing family structures (children born without a father, women running families), the power of money over justice, and the erosion of traditional values like chastity and respect for education. The lyricist laments how truth is overshadowed by lies, and genuine wisdom is ignored in favor of superficial entertainment.

The recurring theme is the diminishing faith and devotion among people as they witness these societal shifts. The line "Seeing this, the devotion man held diminishes, even the God who came to resolve karma dissolves in the river" powerfully conveys a sense of despair and disillusionment. The song criticizes the loss of nutritious food, the decline of emotional bonds, and questions whether society can ever reform. Despite the critical tone, the repeated chant of "Mahaganapathi" serves as a plea or an invocation, perhaps for divine intervention or a return to righteousness amidst the chaos.
