Mangala kannagi kunguma janaki Nalangal thulanga vilanga aniyum thaaliyaa
Nadaga kaviya kaveri madhavi Mayangi kulungi arangil aniyum salangaiya
Thaaliyaasalangaiyaa Thaaliyaasalangaiyaa

Manamagal ival enum deiva bandhama

Vilaimagal ival enum dhinasari sondhama Manamagal ival enum deiva bandhama
Vilaimagal ival enum dhinasari sondhama Thaalikkum medai salangaikkum medai
Irandil edhu nerumo Thalaivan oruvan valangum bandham serumo
Thaaliyaasalangaiyaa Thaaliyaasalangaiyaa

Sathiyam thathuvam pongum vaazhkaiya Nithiyam methaiyil konjum vaazhkkaiya
Sathiyam thathuvam pongum vaazhkaiya Nithiyam methaiyil konjum vaazhkkaiya
Kalaimagal endrae marumagalaagum Punidha nilai serumo
Thagatheem thagatheem enavae aada nerumo

Mangala kannagi kunguma janaki
Nalangal thulanga vilanga aniyum thaaliyaa
Nadaga kaviya kaveri madhavi
Mayangi kulungi arangil aniyum salangaiya

Ilamai maeni idhu perumaiyodu Kollum malargalo
Sabai yeri aadi nenjai Soorai aadum iru vizhigalo

Oru ullam thannil thannai Alli veikkum uyar angamo
Malar palli meedhu seiyum Kalla kaadhal tharum sangamo

Kadhalum ennai marukkumo Vedhamum ennai verukkumo
Nadhamae ennai anaikkumo Nallavan ullam manakkumo

Kalaiyo enna nilaiyoo Poruloo iraivan aruloo

Song Meaning & Analysis

This poignant song delves into the profound dilemma faced by a woman torn between two vastly different life paths: the sanctity of marriage, symbolized by the 'thaali' (mangalsutra), and the allure and societal implications of a life dedicated to performing arts, represented by the 'salangai' (anklets of a dancer). The lyrics draw parallels with iconic figures like Kannagi and Janaki, epitomes of marital fidelity, versus Madhavi, a celebrated dancer. The protagonist questions whether her destiny lies in a life of domesticity, truth, and philosophical depth as a respected wife and daughter-in-law, or in the transient, perhaps less respected, world of performance and fleeting affections.

The song beautifully articulates the internal conflict, exploring themes of societal expectations, personal desire, and the search for identity. It contrasts the 'divine bond' of marriage with the 'daily possession' of a courtesan, and the 'sacred status' of a wife with the rhythmic call of the dance stage. The lyrics reflect a deep yearning for acceptance and a good life, questioning whether love, tradition, or art will ultimately embrace her, and what true meaning or divine grace her path will reveal.
