Nalla perai vaanga vendum Pillaigalae
Nam naadu ennum thottathilae Naalai malarum mullaigalae
Nalla perai vaanga vendum Pillaigalae
Nam naadu ennum thottathilae Naalai malarum mullaigalae
Nalla perai vaanga vaendum pillaigalae
{Paalootum annai Aval nadamaadum deivam
Arivootum thandhai Nal vazhikaattum thalaivan} (2)
Thunaiyaaga kondu Nee nadai podu indru
Thunaiyaaga kondu Nee nadai podu indru
Uruvaagum nalla Edhirkaalam ondru

Nalla perai vaanga vendum Pillaigalae
Nam naadu ennum thottathilae Naalai malarum mullaigalae
Nalla perai vaanga vaendum pillaigalae
Kili pola pesu Ilangkuyil pola paadu
Malar pola siriththu Nee kural pola vaazhu
Laalaala laalaaa Lala laalaa laa laa
Laalaala laalaaa Lala laalaa laa laa
Manadhodu kobam Nee valarthaalum paavam
Meiyaana anbae deiveegamaagum Meiyaana anbae deiveegamaagum

Song Meaning & Analysis
This song is a classic didactic piece from the M.G. Ramachandran (MGR) starrer 'Nam Naadu' (Our Country), reflecting the socio-political themes prevalent in his films. It serves as a powerful message to children, whom the lyricist Vaali metaphorically calls the "jasmine flowers" of the nation's garden, urging them to uphold good values and earn a respectable name. The lyrics emphasize the importance of respecting parents as divine figures and guides, advocating for a life lived with integrity, kindness, and wisdom, drawing parallels to the ancient Tamil wisdom of Thirukkural.
Beyond personal conduct, the song extends its message to civic duties and patriotism. It calls upon the younger generation to protect their language as they would their own eyes, guide those who err, and recognize their inherent power and responsibility in a democratic society, echoing the words of "Gandhi of the South" (referring to K. Kamaraj or Periyar, both influential leaders). The overall mood is one of hopeful instruction, inspiring children to become responsible citizens and contribute positively to the nation's future, embodying the ideals of self-respect, social harmony, and national pride.
