Maattu vandi saalaiyilae Pootu vandi poguthamma
Pootu vandi ullu kullae Koondu kili vaaduthamma
Koora patta idam veru Ival pogum idam veru
Kaadhalukku varalaaru Kanneeru thagaraaru
Maattu vandi saalaiyilae Pootu vandi poguthamma
Odi poyi solli vida Uyir kidanthu thudikirathu
Oomai kanda kanavu ithu Ullukkul valikkirathu
Ennathai sollaamal Rendu manam thavikkuthu
Kannathil sinthaamal Kanneerum urainthathu
Kaatu marangal ellam Kai neeti alaikkuthu
Maatu salangai ellaam Magalodu azhugudhu
Maattu vandi saalaiyilae Pootu vandi poguthamma
Aatru manal medugalae Adhan arugae aalaiyamae
Thenna ilam thoppugalae Thean kodutha solaigalae
Nadhi vazhi pona magal Vidhi vazhi pogindraal
Idhayathil thudippilai Irunthaalum vaalukindraal
Chinna kili irandum Seithu vitta paavam enna
Anbai kondru vittu Aachaaram vaazhvadhenna
Maattu vandi saalaiyilae Pootu vandi poguthamma
Pootu vandi poguthamma
Song Meaning & Analysis
This poignant song from 'Vedham Pudhithu' paints a sorrowful picture of a young woman being taken away in a locked bullock cart, symbolizing her confinement and loss of freedom. The lyrics vividly portray her internal anguish as she is forced into a destiny not of her choosing, leaving behind her true love. The metaphor of a "caged parrot" perfectly encapsulates her despair, highlighting her inability to express her pain, much like a mute person's dream. The song laments the cruel twist of fate that separates lovers, questioning the purpose of a life lived without love, where even tears freeze from profound sorrow.
The song further emphasizes the depth of her suffering by personifying nature itself as mourning with her. The trees seem to beckon, and the bullock's bells cry alongside her, reflecting the universal empathy for her plight. As she passes familiar landscapes, she reflects on her lost freedom and the path of destiny she is now forced to tread, her heart devoid of life yet still beating. The lyrics poignantly ask what sin the lovers committed to deserve such a fate, ultimately questioning the value of a life built on the destruction of true affection.
