Niththam niththam nellu choru Nei manakkum kaththirikkai
Niththam niththam nellu choru Nei manakkum kaththirikkai
Nethu vacha meen kozhmabu Ennai izhukkuthaiyya
Nenjukullae andha nenappu Vanthu mayakkuthaiyaa

Pacharisu soru mmm Uppu karuvadu
Sinnammanooru vaaikka Selu kendai meenu
Kuruththaana molai keerai Vaadaatha siru keerai
Nenaikaiyilae enakku ippo echi ooruthu Alli thinna aasai vanthu ennai meeruthu

Niththam niththam nellu choru Nei manakkum kaththirikkai
Nethu vacha meen kozhmabu Ennai izhukkuthaiyya
Nenjukullae andha nenappu Vanthu mayakkuthaiyaa

Paavakkaa koottu Paruppoda serthu
Pakkuvathai paathu Aakki mudichachu
Siru kaalaan varuthaachu Patham paathu eduthaachu
Kezh varagu koozhukathu Romba poruthamaiyya
Thinam kudicha odambu idhu Rombha perukkumaiyya

Niththam niththam nellu choru Nei manakkum kaththirikkai
Nethu vacha meen kozhmabu Ennai izhukkuthaiyya
Nenjukullae andha nenappu Vanthu mayakkuthaiyaa

Pazhayathukku thodha Pulichirukkum moru
Pottukadalia thenggaai Poattaraicha thovaiyalu
Saambaaru venggayam Salikkathu thinnaalum
Adhukku enai olagathilae illavae illai Alli thinnen enakku innum alukkavae illai

Iththanaikum melirukku Nenjukullae aasai onnu
Soosagamaa solla poren pombalai thaangga Soodaaga irukkurappo saappuda vaangga
