Hey hey hey hey

Kodu potta konnu podu Veli potta hey vetti podu
Nethuvaraikum unga sattam Innaikirunthu enga sattam

Kodu potta konnu podu Veli potta hey vetti podu
Villa pola valanja kootam Vela pola nimirnthu vittom

Sothula pangu ketta Ada ellayapodu ellaya
Soththula pangu ketta Avan thalaya podu thalaya

Ooraan veetu sattathukku Ooru naadu masiyathu
Megam vanthu satham potta Aagayamdhan ketkathu

Paatan pootan Boomiya yaarum
Patta poda koodathu
