Kurundhogai kondaadum Kaadhal maindha
Perundhogai eppodhu eettuvaai Inbaththpaal sollum ilaya vendhae
Porutppaalai eppodhu kaattuvaai

Eesan ezhudhiya olaigalil Akkaala kaadhal uruvaagum
Ration ezhudhiya attaigalil Tharkkaala kaadhal uruvaagum
Nalla veli seidha pinnae Siru thaali seidhu kondu vaa

Kurundhogai konaadum Kaadhal maindhan
Perundhogai pinnaalil vaasippaan Inbaththu paal konjam paditha pinnae
Porutppaalai unnodu yosippaan

Aaa…aaaa Sadhi mogam ennum megam
Iru kannai moodumae Pasi dhaagam vandhu kaadhai
Mooda unmai thonumae

Idhu avvaiyaarin kelvi Yen adhaiyae solgiraai
Naan aasai ambu veesumbodhu Azhagaai vaigiraai

Illaram kolla vinaithogaiyum Alapedaiyum modha kathu
Sathiyamadi thamizh namakku Unavalikkum thadai yethu
Ae poiya solvathu meiyaa Nanba vaa vaaaaa

Kurundhogai konaadum Kaadhal maindhan

Adhu kanidham aagumae Nee nenju kondu kaanumbodhu
Nesam thondrumae

Vizhi moodi kondu kaana En nenjae podhumae
Nee moodi vaitha unmai kaana Moolai venumae

Kanidha medhai ramanujam Peththa ponnu needhaana
Karpanai pannum mahaakavi Kamban magan needhaana

Ammae tamizhil m.a. Nambi vaavaaaaa

Kurundhogai kondaadum Kaadhal maindha
Perundhogai eppodhu eettuvaai Inbaththpaal sollum ilaya vendhae
Porutppaalai eppodhu kaattuvaai

Song Meaning & Analysis

The song "Kurunthogai" from 'Idam Porul Yaeval' is a delightful and witty dialogue between a young couple, exploring the eternal conflict between love and practical realities. The female protagonist, grounded and pragmatic, questions her lover's romantic idealism, urging him to focus on earning wealth and securing their future (represented by "Perunthogai" and "Porutpaal" from Thirukkural). She uses clever analogies, contrasting ancient love from palm-leaf manuscripts with modern love tied to ration cards, and emphasizes that infatuation blinds one to the harsh truths of hunger and thirst.

The male protagonist, a dreamy and poetic soul, counters her arguments with romantic ideals, suggesting that love and emotional connection ("Inbaththupaal") should precede material pursuits. He playfully dismisses her logical reasoning, asserting that the heart sees love where the brain sees only calculations. The song is a charming back-and-forth, using rich Tamil literary references (Kurunthogai, Thirukkural, Avvaiyar, Kamban, Ramanujam) to highlight their contrasting perspectives, ultimately portraying a relatable struggle between passion and practicality in a relationship, with both sides making valid, albeit humorous, points.
