Kettum pattanam poi ser endru Sonnavan nallavanaa naan ariyen
Kettum pattanam poi ser endru Sonnavan nallavanaa naan ariyen
Kaaveri vaasam vittu Koovathin vaasam kanden
Kaaveri vaasam vittu Koovathin vaasam kanden
En kadhai ammammammaa Un kitta chollattumaa
Kettum pattanam poi… Kettum pattanam poi ser endru
Sonnavan nallavanaa naan ariyen Kettum pattanam poi ser endru

Song Meaning & Analysis
This poignant song is a lament from a man who has left his pure, peaceful past, symbolized by the Kaveri river, for a corrupt and disillusioning urban life, represented by the Cooum river. He questions the wisdom of the proverb "Go to the city, even if it means ruin," as his own experience has been one of profound loss and moral compromise. He recounts his earlier life as a righteous individual, a protector of dharma, a loyal servant of the law, and an honest spy against wrongdoers, describing himself as being "like fire" against injustice and a "trump card" for the police.
However, his ideals have been shattered by the harsh realities he encountered. He witnessed the absence of good, the slow erosion of peace, and families becoming victims, leading to his own mind turning against him. He lost his sleep and his original goals, becoming deeply disillusioned with the concept of justice and the possibility of reforming society. He admits to living in a dream, oblivious to the growing problems, but has now awakened to a stark reality where he has fallen prey to circumstances. He asserts that his life is irrevocably changed and that he is not to blame for his current predicament, asking if he needs to elaborate further on his tragic tale.
