Iraivaa… iraivaa… iraivaa…

Kodiyil oruvan pirandhu vandhaan Pala kudumbangal kaakka vaazhndhu vandhaan
Engal thanga raajaa Avan endrum manakkum rojaa

Kodiyil oruvan pirandhu vandhaan Pala kudumbangal kaakka vaazhndhu vandhaan
Engal thanga raajaa Avan endrum manakkum rojaa

Kadavulai adaindhadhu oru vilakku Engal kangalil erindha mani vilakku

Kadavulai adaindhadhu oru vilakku Engal kangalil erindha mani vilakku
Than nalam karudhaa thani vilakku Nenjil thaaimai niraindha arul vilakku
Iraivaa… iraivaa… iraivaa…

Kodiyil oruvan pirandhu vandhaan Pala kudumbangal kaakka vaazhndhu vandhaan
Engal thanga raajaa Avan endrum manakkum rojaa

Jaadhi samayangal ondrenbaar Oru sagodharargal naamenbaar
Aadhi buthanin vazhi nindraar Avar aathma saanthi adaindhu vittaar

Nallavarkkellaam pagaivar undu Ingu nandri illaadhavar silarundu
Nallavarkkellaam pagaivar undu Ingu nandri illaadhavar silarundu
Kallinum kodiya manamundu Idhil karunaikku engae idamundu

Kodiyil oruvan pirandhu vandhaan Pala kudumbangal kaakka vaazhndhu vandhaan
Engal thanga raajaa Avan endrum manakkum rojaa
