Karuthavanlaam galeejaam Kelappi vuttaanga
Andha karutha maathu Goiyaala
Ye ulaichathellaam nammaalu Odhingi nikkaadha
Vaa va therikka vidu Goiyyaala

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

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

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.
