Kaalam kali kaalam Idhu thaanammaa
Vaazhvae dhinam maarum Pagal veshamaa
Ill vaazhvae poraattam Kadai veedhi vyaabaaram
Idhil uravu yen ammaa paavamae
Kaalam kali kaalam Idhu thaanammaa
Vaazhvae dhinam maarum Pagal veshamaa
Bandham adhil paasam Adhu indha naalil yedhu
O… ooo… oooo Thaevai varum neram
Petra pillai maarum podhu
Kaasu thaanadaa ulagai aaludhu Dharmam ingu thaan irulil thoongudhu
Samsaaramae baaram thaan Sondhangalae vesham thaan

Vaazhvae dhinam maarum Pagal veshamaa
Thaayin manam pithu Adhil pillai manadhu kallu
O… ooo… oooo… Thandhai maraindha podhum

Ill vaazhvae poraattam Kadai veedhi viyaabaaram
Idhil uravu enammaa paavamae
Kaalam kali kaalam Idhu thaanammaa
Vaazhvae dhinam maarum Pagal veshamaamaa

It laments the erosion of genuine human relationships, where love and affection are replaced by materialism and self-interest.

The song delves deeper into the painful realities of familial betrayal, questioning the very essence of love and loyalty. It portrays a mother's unconditional love being met with a child's coldness, and the joy derived from inherited wealth even amidst a parent's demise.
