Oonaan vanthu maattikiduchchu Naanthaan oththa kanni pottu pidippaen
Thalaivaraeantha pakkam intha pakkam Entha pakkam ponaalum
Suththi suththu veli pakkam Vanthuthaanae aagonum

Oonaan vanthuhaei haei Oonaan vanthuhaahaa
Oonaan vanthu maattikiduchchu…haei

Naanaa vanthu maattikiduvaen Onnaththaan nandu pudi pottu pudippen
Hehhaeoththa kanni poda Naanum onaana illae udumbu
Ottikittaa vida maattaen Jaakkiratha odambu

Naanaa vanthuhaei haei Naanaa vanthuhaei
Naanaa vanthu maattikiduvaen

Naan kizhichcha kotta Thaanda vida maattean
Aana mattum paareandaa daei Kodu enna kodu koodu vittu koodu
Thaavi thaavi povendaa haa…aa…

Adadaa enna thimiru…aa… Irukku mookku kayiru
Hehhaeevandaa enna thoduvaan Hae avanthaan odhapaduvaan
Paei aattam podaathae vaalaatta koodaathu Idhu varai poruththaen…

Oonaan vanthu maattikiduchchu
Naanthaan oththa kanni pottu pidippaenhaei

Naalu peru paaththaa peru kettu pogum
Veru idam vaayaendaa vaadaa vaadaa
Aada theriyaatti meadai enna pannum
Aala vittu poyaendaa kurr kurr kurr…

Varuvaen onna thodarnthu Tharuven nalla virunthu
Thaniyaa ninnu edhirpaen Mudivil unna jeippaen
Kaalangal nerangal kai koodi venthaachchu Kodi katti parappaen

Oonaan vanthu maattikiduchchu Naanthaan oththa kanni pottu pidippaen
Haei haei haei Oththa kanni poda
Naanum onaana illae udumbu Ottikittaa vida maattaen
Jaakkiratha odambu

Oonaan vanthuhaei haei Oonaan vanthuhaahaei
Oonaan vanthu maattikiduchchu…haei

Song Meaning & Analysis

This song, 'Oonaan Vandhu' from the 1981 film 'Ram Lakshman,' is a vibrant and confrontational duet, likely between two male characters, possibly rivals or friends engaged in a playful yet intense battle of wits and dominance. The central metaphor revolves around a 'lizard' (oonaan) getting caught, symbolizing one character's perceived victory or upper hand, while the other retorts by claiming to be a 'monitor lizard' (udumbu), a stronger and more tenacious creature that, once it latches on, never lets go. The lyrics are filled with boasts, challenges, and declarations of superiority, reflecting a dynamic of one-upmanship.

The mood is energetic and defiant, with each singer asserting their strength and cunning. It's a classic example of a 'challenge song' often found in Tamil cinema, where characters express their resolve and competitive spirit through clever wordplay and rhythmic exchanges. The song captures the essence of a spirited rivalry, promising a 'feast' (vrundhu) of confrontation and an ultimate victory for the speaker, all while maintaining a lively and engaging musical backdrop characteristic of Ilayaraja's compositions.
