Kamban yaemaandhaan Ilam kanniyarai oru malar endraanae
Karpanai seidhaanae Kamban yaemaandhaan
Kamban yaemaandhaan Ilam kanniyarai oru malar endraanae

Ambu vizhi endru yaen sonnaan Adhu paaivadhinaal thaano
Ambu vizhi endru yaen sonnaan Adhu paaivadhinaal thaano
Aval arunjuvai paalena yaen sonnaan Adhu kodhippadhinaal thaano

Ha ha kamban yaemaandhaan…
Song Meaning & Analysis
This song, 'Kamban Emandhaan,' is a playful yet subtly critical take on how classical Tamil poets like Kamban idealized women. The male protagonist argues that poets were mistaken in comparing young women to delicate flowers, suggesting that women possess a fiery, complex nature that goes beyond such simple metaphors. He questions poetic descriptions, asking if eyes are called 'arrows' because they pierce hearts, and if a woman's essence is 'six-flavored milk' because it can boil with passion or anger, implying a deeper, more volatile nature than mere beauty.
The song further extends this critique to other revered poets like Valluvar, Ilango, and Bharathi, claiming that even the speaker himself was once similarly mistaken. The latter part of the song takes a more assertive, arguably chauvinistic, tone, suggesting that a woman's anger is limited to domestic spaces and that she should submit when a 'dominant hero' asserts himself. This reflects a common patriarchal viewpoint prevalent in cinema of that era, contrasting sharply with the initial playful critique of poetic idealization.
