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
