Melatha mella thattu Indha melatha mella thattu
Melatha mella thattu Indha melatha mella thattu
Anganga killikkittu Pootti vecha veettukkul jallikkattu
Anganga killikkittu Pootti vecha veettukkul jallikkattu
Naan thottu nee thottu Thaappaala nee pottu
Melatha mella thattu Indha melatha mella thattu
Muthira vekkiren kannathula Nithamum naan andha ennathula
Nithira kettadhu mothathula Nikkiren naan unga pakkathula
Nee oru poo maala naan anaikka
Vandhadhu vandhadhu vatta nilaa Vaaliba nenjatha sutta nilaa
Pen yena en uyir thotta nilaa Inbatha thooriya pattu nilaa
Kodaiyila vaadaiyila
Ullatha thottadhu vellatha kottudhu
Melatha mella thattu Indha melatha mella thattu
Melatha mella thattu Indha melatha mella thattu
