Kannai nambaadhae { Unnai yemaatrum } (2)
Nee kaanum thotram Unmai illaadhadhu
Arivai nee nambu Ullam thelivaagum
Adaiyaalam kaatum Poiyae sollaadhadhu
Kannai nambaadhae Unnai yemaatrum
Nee kaanum thotram Unmai illaadhadhu
Arivai nee nambu Ullam thelivaagum
Adaiyaalam kaatum Poiyae sollaadhadhu
{ Kavalarae vesamitaal Kalvargalum vettruruvil
Kanmunnae thonuvadhu Saathiyamae } (2)
Kaathirundhu kalvaruku Kai vilangu pootividum
Kannuku thonaadha Sathiyamae
{ Podum poi thirayai Kilithuvidum kaalam
Puriyum appodhu Meiyaana kolam } (2)
Kannai nambaadhae Unnai yemaatrum
Nee kaanum thotram { Unmai illaadhadhu } (2)
Om muruga endru solli Ucharikum saamigalae
Rudhraacha poonaigalaai Vaazhurenga
Seemaangal porvaiyilae Saamanya makkalaiyae
Yemaatri kondaatam Podureenga
Poimai eppodhum Onguvadhum illai
Unmai eppodhum Thoonkuvadhum illai
Kannai nambaadhae
{ Pon porulai kandavudan Vandhavali marandhuvitu
Kanmoodi pogiravar Pogatumae } (2)
En manathai naan ariven En uravai naan maraven
Edhuvana podhilum Aagatumae
Nandri maravaadha Nalla manam podhum
Endrum adhuvae en Moolathanam aagum
Kannai nambaadhae { Unnai yemaatrum } (2)
Nee kaanum thotram Unmai illaadhadhu
Arivai nee nambu Ullam thelivaagum
Adaiyaalam kaatum Poiyae sollaadhadhu
Song Meaning & Analysis
This philosophical song, 'Kannai Nambathey,' serves as a profound warning against superficiality and deception. It urges listeners not to be swayed by outward appearances, as they are often misleading. Instead, the lyrics emphasize the importance of trusting one's intellect and inner wisdom, which alone can discern the truth and reveal the true nature of things and people. The song highlights how easily one can be fooled by disguises and false fronts, whether by criminals or by those who feign piety or status.
The latter part of the song directly criticizes hypocrisy, particularly targeting those who exploit religion or social standing for personal gain, likening them to 'Rudraksha-wearing cats' – a powerful metaphor for deceptive individuals. It asserts that falsehood can never triumph permanently, and truth, though sometimes obscured, will inevitably emerge. The song concludes with a personal declaration of integrity, valuing a grateful and honest heart over material wealth, positioning it as the true and lasting capital in life.
