Maalaiyitta mangai yaaro Enna pero
Antha maaniniyaal entha ooro Ungal manam naadiya sugamae tharum
Madhi meviya vanitha mani Maamatha vel thendral thaero
Thiruvaai malarnthae aruleero…

Mugilu kinaiyumendra Kuzhalai thzhuvi nindra
Muga vatta madhu chanthira pimbamo Pirai nigar nettri
Aval kndam sangamo

Pargal mullaiyo idaiyillaiyo Malar kollaiyo valar selviyo
Thudai maraththuvajan koyil kambamo Thangal sagapaththini udalanth thangamo

Kendai meenum maanum kandu naanum suzhal Vandu nerum vizhi valliyaa
Karkandu thaen maruvum solliyaa Tamizh sinthu paadi mani thandaiyaadu patham
Kondu aadugindra melliyaa Enthan sinthaithaan magizha sollaiyaa
Enthan sinthaithaan magizha sollaiyaa

Kaaviya kalaiyo Sirpa oviya silaiyo
Kaaviya kalaiyo

Kaaviya kalaiyo Sirpa oviya silaiyo
Antha kaamanin silai Bhoomiyin pechai kaarigaiyaazh
Urumaari vanthaalo

Kaavin malarkodiyo Kalvi kelvigal eppadiyo
Kaavin malarkodiyo Kalvi kelvigal eppadiyo

Ungal kadhali Enthanin maathiriyandro
Thaamaro kallo sallaapa saamarasa Komala penno

Karpanaiyin seero Kattazhagi yaaro
Karpanaiyin seero Kattazhagi yaaro

Arputhamae gunavathiyo Avalum umakku thagunthavalo

Kaaviya kalaiyo Sirpa oviya silaiyo
Kaaviya kalaiyo Sirpa oviya silaiyo
