Hoi mama oru vaarama Naan irunthenae un mogama
Medhuva sirichennae ethukku Theriyum unakku

Hoi mama oru vaarama hoi Naan irunthenae un mogama
Medhuva sirichennae ethukku Theriyum unakku

Kazhani mettil naaththaaduthu Naathu mela kaaththaduthu
Kazhani mettil naaththaaduthu Naathu mela kaaththaduthu

Aaththaadi en nenjilae Aasaigal koththaadudhu
Vaa maama onnu thaa maama Ennai thaniyae vidalaama

Hei baama oiyaarama Unnai paarthenae aaththorama
Sirichaa puriyadhaa ethukku Theriyum enakku

Ottu potta maambalamae Oththakallu mookuthiyae
Ottu potta maambalamae Oththakallu mookuthiyae

Aasai manavaasalilae Aadura maavilaiyae
Nenachaalum unnai anaichaalum Andha nenappu adangalaiyae

Hoi mama oru vaarama hoi Naan irunthenae un mogama
Sirichaa puriyadhaa ethukku Theriyum Male : Enakku
