Kathum kadal ullae Oru mutheduthu vandhen
Muthum oru sithiramaai Mun irukka kanden

Achacho athi poo pennaanadho Ammammoi alli poo kannaanadho
Micha poo ovvondrum ennaanadho Mothathil kanni poo endraanadho

Kathum kadal ullae Oru mutheduthu vandhen
Muthum oru sithiramaai Mun irukka kanden

Aan magan yaaro Andhi ilam maalai
Aal kadal neer mel Aadi varum vaelai
Meen valai veesa Mella adhan meedhu
Naan vizhundheno ennai ariyaadhu

Engaeyo paadhai maari Ingae un vaasal thaedi
Vandhenae vaadum kodhai naan Ennendru naanum solla
En ullam thullum mella Ingae naan vaazhum naatkalil thaan
Nenjellaam yedho alai paayum naalo Ammaadi inbam enna kanden ingae naan

Kathum kadal ullae Oru mutheduthu vandhen
Muthum oru sithiramaai Mun irukka kanden

Achacho athi poo pennaanadho Ammammoi alli poo kannaanadho

Kathum kadal ullae Oru mutheduthu vandhen

Sirppathai veettil serthaen naan Yaarukku sondham endru
Yaar solla koodum indru Endraalum kaaval kaappavan naan
Kanneer illaamal karai serppen naanum Ennodu thangum podhu thunbam yedhammaa
