Kelammaa chinna ponnu kelu un Kelvikku badhilai solven kelu
Kelammaa chinna ponnu kelu un Kelvikku badhilai solven kelu
Vaazhvilae valarndhirukkudhu naadu Ezhai vazhiyai mattum thaduthu nikkudhu
Maedu maedu
Kelammaa chinna ponnu kelu un Kelvikku badhilai solven kelu
Ezhai padum paadu…ooo… Adhil ezhundhu nikkudhu veedu…uu
Ezhai padum paadu…ooo… Adhil ezhundhu nikkudhu veedu…
Iruppadhuvum paduppadhuvum Kuruvi vaazhum koodu
Iruppavanga kodukkanum Illaadhadhai edukkanum
Iruppavanga kodukkanum Illaadhadhai edukkanum
Adhai thaduppavarai maruppavarai Sattam pottu pidikkanum
Kelammaa kelu… Kelammaa chinna ponnu kelu un
Kelvikku badhilai solven kelu
{Thavithavikkira ezhaikkaaga Thittam podanum porulai
Sarisamamaa pangu vaikka Sattam podanum } (2)
Kuviya kuviya vilaivadhellaam Kooru podanum
Kuviya kuviya vilaivadhellaam Kooru podanum
Ezhai kudisaikkullae paalum thaenum Aaraa odanum
Paalum thaenum aaraa odanum
Kelammaa kelu… Kelammaa chinna ponnu kelu un
Kelvikku badhilai solven kelu
{Saalaiyilae maedu pallam Vandiyai thadukkum
Naattu janangalilae maedu pallam Desathaiyae kedukkum} (2)
Ezhai manam kobappattaa Ennennamo nadakkum
Ezhai manam kobappattaa Ennennamo nadakkum
Adhai enni paathu nadandhu kondaa Nimmadhi kidaikkum kidaikkum
Kelammaa kelu… Kelammaa chinna ponnu kelu un
Kelvikku badhilai solven kelu
Song Meaning & Analysis
This song, "Kelamma Chinnaponnu," from the 1965 film 'Kanni Thaai,' is a powerful social commentary delivered through a conversation with a young girl. The lyrics highlight the stark economic disparities prevalent in society, where the nation progresses but the poor remain marginalized. It criticizes the system that allows the wealthy to thrive while the less fortunate struggle, living in conditions akin to bird's nests. The song advocates for a more equitable distribution of wealth, suggesting that those who have should share with those who don't, and that laws should be in place to enforce this fairness.
The song further emphasizes the need for social justice, calling for plans and laws to ensure that the abundant produce is shared equally, bringing prosperity ("milk and honey") to the homes of the poor. It uses the metaphor of road bumps and potholes hindering a cart to illustrate how the divide between the rich and poor ("haves" and "have-nots") harms the nation. The lyrics serve as a warning, stating that if the anger of the poor is ignited, unpredictable consequences will follow. Ultimately, it appeals for empathy and responsible action from society to achieve peace and harmony.
