Maadilutha vandi ellaam Naan iluthu paarthen
Naan manushanaa mirugamaa Ozhachi paarthen

Kastapatta podhilum Kaasu vanthu serala
Kaasa vandha podhilum Meedham ethum aagala

Maadilutha vandi ellaam Naan iluthu paarthen
Naan manushanaa mirugamaa Ozhachi paarthen

Kastapatta podhilum Kaasu vanthu serala
Kaasa vandha podhilum Meedham ethum aagala

{Adi maariamma Enna ithu kaaliyamma
Enga vaazhkkaiyellaam Konaloo konalammaa} (2)

Maadilutha vandi ellaam Naan iluthu paarthen
Naan manushanaa mirugamaa Ozhachi paarthen

{Malligaiyum alli katti Meenatchi kumkumamum
Mangalamaa solli vikka Pogaadha veedhi illa} (2)

Kaasu vantha kanakka paartha Sarakku vanga pothaathu
Kai sarakku meedham vandhaa Maththa naalu vikkathu

Ezhaingha polappu Kasthathula thaan
Neeyum naanum ingu enna seiya Iraivan ezhuthu ippadi thaanunnaa
Indhiya arasum enna seiyum

Ethana kaasu kedachaalum Paththalapaa
En nenjamum kaikalum Eppothum suththamappahoi

Maadilutha vandi ellaam Naan iluthu paarthen

Kastapatta podhilum Kaasu vanthu serala
Kaasa vandha podhilum Meedham ethum aagala

Adi maariamma Enna ithu kaaliyamma

Suvaril oru posterathaan Suthamaaga otti paathen
Boring pottu kai kadukka Pumpu settum pottu paathen

Kavaring nagai senju paathen Thavari kuda vikka villa
Kadala viththum kaasum valla Odala vikka vazhiyum illa

{Pattiyila thottiyila Yereduthu naan uzhuthen
Vatti katti maalavilla Neera vittu naan azhudhen} (2)

Palliyila enga padichen Naadagathil naan nadichen
Veedhiyila thoongi mulichen Vaazhvatharkku naan thudichen

Beechula sundala Vithu vithu paathu
Valanthu ponadhu en odambu Roatula kaatula
Vaazhva thedi thedi Koodi ponathaiyaa en vayasu

Ethana kaasu kedachaalum Paththalapaa
En nenjamum kaikalum Eppothum suththamappahoi

Maadilutha vandi ellaam Naan iluthu paarthen

Kastapatta podhilum Kaasu vanthu serala
Kaasa vandha podhilum Meedham ethum aagala

{Adi maariamma Enna ithu kaaliyamma

Song Meaning & Analysis

This song is a poignant lament from the perspective of a common man struggling with poverty and the relentless cycle of hard labor with little reward. He describes his life as one of ceaseless toil, comparing himself to an animal pulling carts, yet questioning his humanity. Despite his honest efforts in various trades—from selling auspicious items and goods to farming, manual labor, and even street performances—he finds himself unable to save money or escape hardship. The lyrics express a deep sense of frustration and helplessness, appealing to deities like Mariyamma and Kaaliyamma, and questioning fate and even the government's ability to alleviate his suffering.

The protagonist's journey from childhood, selling snacks on the beach, to adulthood, searching for a livelihood on roads and in forests, highlights a life of constant struggle and unfulfilled potential. Despite the physical and emotional toll, he maintains the purity of his heart and hands, emphasizing his integrity amidst adversity.
