Nallathor veenai seithae Adhai nalangeda puzhuthiyil erivathundo
Nallathor veenai seithae Adhai nalangeda puzhuthiyil erivathundo

Solladi sivasakthi Sudar migum arivudan
Ennai padaithaai Solladi sivasakthi sudarmigum arivudan
Ennai padaithaai nee

Nallathor veenai seithae Adhai nalangeda puzhuthiyil erivathundo

Poo maalai orr thozhil thaan Poda ninaithaal pen
Pottaalum poo maalaikkor Porulum illaiyae

Naal oru thozhinil Maalaiyai maatridum
Aan kooda pen vaazhvatha Adhai naamum panbenbatha
Idhu nyaayama

Nallathor veenai seithae Adhai nalangeda puzhuthiyil erivathundo

Aanandha neerodaiyil Aada ninaithen naan
Naan paartha gothavari Kaanal variyaa…

Thaai manai agandrathum Thalaivanai adainthathum
Naan seidha theermaanam thaan Adharkintha sanmaanam thaan
Avamaanam thaan

Nallathor veenai seithae Adhai nalangeda puzhuthiyil erivathundo
Solladi sivasakthi sudarmigum arivudan Ennai padaithaai nee
Nallathor veenai seithae Adhai nalangeda puzhuthiyil erivathundo

Song Meaning & Analysis

The song "Nallathor Veenai" from 'Marupadiyum' is a poignant lament from a woman grappling with betrayal and disillusionment in her marital life. She questions the divine, asking if a well-crafted instrument (symbolizing herself, created with intellect by Shiva Shakti) would be cast aside and ruined in the dust. This metaphor powerfully conveys her sense of being undervalued and mistreated despite her inherent worth and the divine spark within her. The lyrics express her anguish over a husband who is unfaithful, likening him to a man who changes his garland (partner) daily, and she questions the morality and fairness of such a life.

The protagonist reflects on her past choices, particularly her decision to leave her mother's home and join her husband, which she now perceives as a source of deep humiliation rather than the bliss she anticipated. The imagery of wishing to bathe in a "stream of bliss" only to find the "Godavari" (a sacred river, symbolizing purity and fulfillment) to be a "mirage" underscores her profound disappointment and the shattering of her dreams. The song is a cry for justice and dignity, highlighting the emotional turmoil of a woman whose self-worth is challenged by societal expectations and personal betrayal.
