Kettaayae oru kelvi Kettaayae oru kelvi
Naan vaarththaiyil badhil solla mudiyaathu Anthiyile naan arumpaavaen
Aasaiyil ezhunthaal irumbaavaen
Sugamo sugam ena karumpaavaen Sorkkaththil anantha virunthaavaen
Kettaayae oru kelvi Naan vaarththaiyil bathil solla mudiyaathu
Munthaanai mogaththil panthaadum azhaginai
Kandaalum naan oru kavithai solvaen
Manthaara thendralil mandraadum idaiyinai
Thanthaalum naan adhai thazhvi kolvaen
Ammaadi enakkathu pudhiya kadhai Aanaalum unnidam iniya suvai
Maanaga piranththu paruvasilai Neeyaaga tharuvathil thadaigal illai
Kettaayae oru kelvi Naan vaarththaiyil bathil solla mudiyaathu
Aththaani mandabam aththaanai kandathum
Thattaamal kadhavugal thirakkindrana
Anantha pookkalil thaen vantha vegathil
Angangal padakena mithakkindrana
Senthoora mugaththinil thuruthuruppu Semaantha maarbinil paraparappu
Aaramba kadhalin suvai arinthu Anantham theduthu anai udainthu
Kettaayae oru kelvi Naan vaarththaiyil bathil solla mudiyaathu
Rasaththi poonjittu rajavin kaipattum Pesaamal iruppathin porul ennavo
Pesaamal iruppathin porul ennavo Penn paadum perinbam adhuvallavo
Kelaamal kettathu nadakkindrathu
Paaramal paarththathu inikkindrathu
Saeraamal saernthathu suvaikkindrathu
Theeraamal sugam pera azhaikkindrathu
Kettaayae oru kelvi Naan vaarththaiyil bathil solla mudiyaathu
Amaithiyilae naan arumpaavaen Aasaiyil ezhunthaal irumpaavaen
Sugamo sugam ena karumpaavaen Sorkaththil anantha virnthaavaen
