Kallaanaalum kanavan thaandi Naan pullaanaalum purushan thaandi adiyaei
Kallaanaalum kanavan thaandi Naan pullaanaalum purushan thaandi

Anju naan valaiyala Aimpathula valaikkirae
Idhukku maelae murukkikittaa Theriyumdi saedhi

Kelavi Kallaanaalum kanavan thaandi
Naan pullaanaalum purushan thaandi adiyaei

Pathminiya unakku theriyumaa Enna kadhalichch vishayam puriyumaa
Banumathiyai kaettu paarudi Avanga yaengi ninna kadhaiyai keladi

Intha mesai konjam vellai Adhu plus point di
Ippa kooda pala pengal Ennai suththuraangadi

Radha kooda enna paarkka Thoodhu vittaa neththu
Anu radhaa kooda enna paarkka Thoodhu vittaa neththu
Naanum unna kattikkittaen Vaalipamae waste-tu

Kallaanaalum kanavan thaandi Naan pullaanaalum purushan thaandi

Anju naan valaiyala Aimpathula valaikkirae
Idhukku maelae murukkikittaa Theriyumdi saedhi

Kelavi Kallaanaalum kanavan thaandi Naan pullaanaalum purushan thaandi

Vayasula enna irukku En manasula thembu irukku
Odambuthaan kojam perusu Adhu parambara thantha parisu

Amalaavum kamalaavum Enna thedurangadi
Amalaavum kamalaavum Enna thedurangadi
Nadhiyaavum sarithaavum Anga vaaduraangadi

Enga appan paattan vamsaththukku Rendu veeduthaandi
Naan raman pola maattikittaen Oththa veeduthaandi
Adhu soththa veeduthaandi Adhu soththa veeduthaandi

Kallaanaalum kanavan thaandi Naan pullaanaalum purushan thaandi

Anju naan valaiyala Aimpathula valaikkirae
Idhukku maelae murukkikittaa Theriyumdi saedhi

Kelavi Kallaanaalum kanavan thaandi
Naan pullaanaalum purushan thaandihaei

Song Meaning & Analysis

This song is a playful and humorous monologue from a husband to his wife, asserting his position and desirability despite his age. The husband, perhaps feeling his wife's lack of appreciation or a shift in their dynamic, boasts about his past romantic conquests and current appeal to other women, even mentioning popular actresses of the time like Padmini, Bhanumathi, Radha, Anuradha, Amala, Kamala, Nadhiya, and Saritha. He playfully chides his wife for trying to "bend" him now that he's older, reminding her of his inherent value as her husband, regardless of his perceived flaws or age.

The song's core theme revolves around the traditional Tamil saying "Kallanalum Kanavan, Pullanalum Purushan" (Even if he's a stone, he's the husband; even if he's grass, he's the man), which emphasizes the wife's duty and acceptance of her husband. However, it's delivered with a lighthearted, almost teasing tone, making it more of a comedic assertion of male ego and marital banter rather than a serious patriarchal statement. The husband's exaggerated claims of being sought after, his lament about being "stuck with one house" (a humorous take on monogamy compared to his ancestors), and his self-deprecating humor about his physique ("body is just a bit big") all contribute to the song's jovial and entertaining mood, showcasing a common dynamic in Tamil cinema where marital squabbles are often portrayed with a comedic touch.
