Karuthavanlaam galeejaam Kelappi vuttaanga
Andha karutha maathu Goiyaala

Ye ulaichathellaam nammaalu Odhingi nikkaadha
Vaa va therikka vidu Goiyyaala

Thakkaali

Ye karuthavanlaam galeejaam Ye ulaichathellaam nammaalu

Ye indha nagaram ippothaan Maanagaram aachu
Idhu maara muzhu kaaranamae Naama annaachi

Ye thagara kottaala Thangi irundhaalum
Chennaiyoda annai Namma kuppam thaanaae

Karuthavanlaam galeejaam Kelappi vutaanga
Andha karutha maathu Goiyaala

Ye ulaichathellaam nammaalu Odhingi nikkaadha
Vaa va therikka vidu Goiyyaala

Thakkaali

Ye karuthavanlaam galeejaam Ye ulaichathellaam nammaalu

Area kaasi kuppom Ellorum onnaa nippom
Yaarunu pakka mattom Paasatha pangu vaippom

{Tajmahala kattinadhu Koththanaaru
Shahjahan kitta sonnaa kooda Oththupaaru }(2)

Udhavinnu kettaakooda Apartmentu aalu
Nice-ah appeet aavaaru Phone-a switch off seivaaru

Evanummae azhaikkaama Kuppam gopaalu
Vandhu kooda nippaaru Edhuthu vela paaappaaru

Oorukku sondhakkaaran Oorukku veliya ninnaan
Perukku chennaikkaaran Yedhedho sattam sonnaan

Ye indha nagaram ippothaan Maanagaram aachu
Idhu maara muzhu kaaranamae Naama annaachi

Ye thagara kottaala Thangi irundhaalum
Chennaiyoda annai Namma kuppam thaanaae

Karuthavanlaam galeejaam Kelappi vutaanga
Andha karutha maathu Goiyaala

Ye ulaichathellaam nammaalu Odhingi nikkaadha
Vaa va therikka vidu Goiyyaala

Thakkaali

Tajmahala kattinadhu Koththanaaru

Sandhu kulla bondhu kulla Vandhu paaru
Indha salaiyellaam Kanmuzhuchi pottadhu yaaru

Tajmahala kattinadhu Koththanaaru
Shahjahan kitta sonnaa kooda Oththupaaru

Song Meaning & Analysis

The song "Karuthavanlaam Galeejaam" from 'Velaikkaran' is a powerful anthem for the working class and marginalized communities, particularly those living in urban slums (kuppam). It challenges the societal prejudice against dark-skinned individuals and laborers, who are often dismissed as "galeejaam" (dirty or trashy). The lyrics assert that these are the very people who built the city and continue to sustain it through their hard work. It highlights their unity, generosity, and foundational role in society, contrasting them with the privileged who often shy away from helping.

The song celebrates the dignity of labor and the collective strength of the common man, emphasizing that the true essence and development of a metropolis like Chennai stem from the efforts of its 'Annaachis' (common folk/laborers) residing even in tin sheds. It's a call to action, urging these unsung heroes not to be sidelined but to proudly claim their rightful place and challenge the derogatory perceptions. The reference to the Taj Mahal being built by masons, not just Shah Jahan, powerfully underscores the often-overlooked contributions of the working class to grand achievements.
