Durrrr…urrrr…urrr Hey hey hey hey …hey hey
Hey driona drio drio dunnunana nanaa Hey driona drio drio dunnunana nanaa
Madrasa suthi pakka poren Marinavil veedu katta poren
{Light house-il yeri nikka poren Naan mangaatha rani pola varen} (2)
Madrasa suthi pakka poren Marinavil veedu katta poren
Light house-il yeri nikka poren Naan mangaatha rani pola varen
Madrasa suththi katta poren Marinavil sundal vaangi thaaren
{Idhu thanae ribbon building paaru Idhukku ungappan per vaikka solla poren} (2)
Ada cinema pidikkum kodambakkam Aeroplane irangum meenambakkam
Foreign sarkku burma bazar Namma ulloor sarakku jam bazaru…
Eh…ehhh…ehhhehhhey…
Yeh ponnu yeh ponnu Idha pakkadha kannenna kannu
Yeh ponnu yeh ponnu Ennaittukinnu podi en kannu
Madras-in hero Adhu metro water
Aanaa stylenaa ippo Kudi mineral water
Madrasin geedham Adhu auto auto saththamdhan
All in all kettan oru Photo photo kaiyyildhan
Male & Female : Onnu maamiyaru thollai
Illa mugamoodi kollai Aanaal ismailum abrahamum
Indianaaga vazhum ooru
Madrasa suthi pakka poren Marinavil veedu katta poren
{Light house-il yeri nikka poren Naan mangaatha rani pola varen} (2)
{Hey driona drio drio Dunnunana nanaa }(4)
Ponnu yeh ponnu Nastah thunna vadi en kannu
Unna koottikinnu poren cinemakku Illa koththikinnu povan porambokku
Aahaaneheein
Kalam kettu pochchu mavarasi Summa gappunnu isukkudhu mugarasi
Mooththava solren idha yosi Nan moonu thalaimuraiya madharasi
Vellaikkaran kottai Adhu pazhaiya madras
Raniyamma pettai Idhu pudhiya madras
One wayil pugundhu kooda Madrasa suththi pakkalaam
Centraliyum egmoreiyum Suththi katti nee thuddu sekkalaam
Cinema paiththiyam endral madras Kadhal paiththiyam endral madras
Inga illa joli packet gali Aana lifeo jolly jolly
Madrasa suthi pakka poren Marinavil veedu katta poren
{Light house-il yeri nikka poren Naan mangaatha rani pola varen} (2)
Light house-il yeri nikka poren Naan madrasin rani pola varen
Song Meaning & Analysis
This song is a vibrant ode to the city of Madras (now Chennai), capturing its essence through the eyes of someone either exploring it for the first time or proudly showcasing it. The lyrics paint a picture of excitement and ambition, with lines about building a house on Marina Beach and confidently declaring oneself a 'queen who never loses.' It playfully highlights iconic landmarks like the Lighthouse and Ripon Building, and cultural touchstones such as Kodambakkam for cinema, Meenambakkam for flights, and various bazaars for shopping. The song also touches upon the city's unique characteristics, from its reliance on Metro Water to the ubiquitous auto-rickshaw sounds, all while maintaining a lighthearted and energetic tone.
Beyond the sightseeing, the song delves into the spirit of Madras, acknowledging its challenges like 'mother-in-law's trouble' or 'masked robbery,' but ultimately celebrating its communal harmony where people of different faiths coexist as Indians. It contrasts old Madras with new, and humorously notes that while pockets might be empty without work, life in the city is always 'jolly jolly.' The lyrics convey a deep affection and pride for Madras, portraying it as a place of dreams, cinema, love, and an enduring, lively spirit that captivates all who experience it.
