Kaalam vanthathum naan varuvaen Ena karunai kaattum velaiyaa
Karunai kaattum velaiyaa Kanneer vadikkum engalai kaakka
Nee illaamal yaaraiyaa Kanneer vadikkum engalai kaakka
Nee illaamal yaaraiyaa Nee illaamal yaaraiyaa
Kaalam vanthathum naan varuvaen Ena karunai kaattum velaiyaa
Karunai kaattum velaiyaa
Ninthanai seithaar kandhanai endraa Thandanai thanthaai murugaiyaa
Ninthanai seithaar kandhanai endraa Thandanai thanthaai murugaiyaa
Vanthanai seithae vaazhnthirunthaalae Antha en magalukku urugaiyaa
Vanthanai seithae vaazhnthirunthaalae Antha en magalukku urugaiyaa
Arivom unnai sodhanai seithae Adaikkalam tharuvaai murugaiyaa
Arivom unnai sodhanai seithae Adaikkalam tharuvaai murugaiyaa
Adaikkalam tharuvaai murugaiyaa
Kaalam vanthathum naan varuvaen Ena karunai kaattum velaiyaa
Karunai kaattum velaiyaa
Aayiram sodhanai pothum pothum Oppukkondom thavaraiyaa
Aayiram sodhanai pothum pothum Oppukkondom thavaraiyaa
Mayilai kakka mayil meedhaeri Varuvaai engal kanthaiyaa
Vel vizhi maanai uyir pera seiyya Veludan varuvaai velaiyaa
Velaiyaa…aaaaaaaa… Vel vizhi maanai uyir pera seiyya
Veludan varuvaai velaiyaa Veludan varuvaai velaiyaa
Kaalam vanthathum naan varuvaen Ena karunai kaattum velaiyaa
Karunai kaattum velaiyaa
Saravanapavanae karthigai bala Thanikaasalanae engal shanmugaa
Vayaloor aalum vadivelaa Kuraigal theerppaai kurunaathaa
