Laabamaa nastama nainaa paiyaa Laabamaa nastama
Raajangam namma kaiyil vandhaale Naatil ulla janangalukku nammaale
Raajangam namma kaiyil vandhaale Naatil ulla janangalukku nammaale
Laabamaa nastama nainaa paiyaa Laabamaa nastama
Saalaiyile nikkum maram Sarkaaru vecha maram
Aalu mela saanjadhunaa aabathu Avan aaviyadhu poguminnu yugichu
Nalla verai killi marathai ellaam Vetti thalli kaaya vechu
Vithuvida solliputten kaasukku Viragu panjam theerum nammudaiya oorukku
Naina laabama nastama Idhanaal laabama nastama
Pazham koduthu palan kodukkum Pala maramum ponaa nizhal yedhu
Panamum yedhu laabam yedhu naina
Sathirangal iruppadhaale Thanda sothu saamigale
Jaasthiyaagi pochu namba naatilae Adhuga sanjarchu vendiyadhu kaattula
Adhanaal iththiname Engumulla Sathirathai
Idichi thalla utharavu Pottu vitten naerile
Ennai pola buthisaali Yaaru indha oorile
Naina laabama nastama Idhanaal laabama nastama
Iduchi thalla yegapatta Selavu aagum podhu
Iruppadhellaam karainju Pogum laabam yemi ledhu
Sambalamum vaangi kittu Kimbalamum pethukittu
Sattathittam podum adhigaaringa Thammai sandai pottu
Velai vittu naanunga
Ini sambalamum micham Pala vambugalum micham
Namma janangalukku illaiyini sangadam Manasil sandhosam thannalae pongidum
Naina laabama nastama Idhanaal laabama nastama
Laabam okatti nastam nooru
Song Meaning & Analysis
The song "Laabama Nashtama" from the 1956 film 'Satharam Tamil' is a satirical piece where a foolish ruler (or someone in authority) boasts about his 'wise' decisions, constantly asking his subordinate, "Is this profit or loss, my dear boy?" He justifies his actions, which are clearly detrimental, as beneficial. For instance, he orders the felling of all roadside trees, claiming it prevents accidents and solves firewood shortages, ignoring their ecological and social benefits. He also orders the demolition of inns, believing it will reduce the number of 'free-food beggars,' failing to see the humanitarian aspect and the cost of demolition.
The song humorously highlights the absurdity of short-sighted, self-serving governance. The ruler further claims to have saved money and trouble by firing corrupt officials, implying that his arbitrary actions are for the public good, while in reality, they lead to greater loss and suffering. The recurring question "Is this profit or loss?" serves as a rhetorical device, with the implied answer always being a significant loss, despite the ruler's deluded perception of profit. The final line, "Profit is one, loss is a hundred," succinctly summarizes the true outcome of his misguided policies.
