Oru naadodi poongaathu sindhu padikkum
Idhu ododi oorengum thaena thelikkum
Nee kaelu thaai pola nenjai idhu thaalaattum
Naal thorum thaalaattil unnai idhu neeraattum
Vanna kiliyae hoo… hoo… ho

Oru naadodi poongaathu sindhu padikkum
Idhu ododi oorengum thaena thelikkum

Vaaikkaalil kaalai vittaal aazham puriyum
Maelaaga paarthu nindraal enna theriyum
Vaai paattai kaetta pinnaal ennai puriyum
Kaetkaamal kadhai alandhaal enna theriyum
Ennudaiya paattukkullae mannin manam veesidum
Muthamizhil moodi vaitha sothukkalai pesidum
Paatteduthaa patta maram poo poothidum
Malai paaraigalum vaai vedichu neer vaarthidum
Ada ooraar thaan paaraattum paattaali naan

Oru naadodi poongaathu sindhu padikkum
Idhu ododi oorengum thaena thelikkum

Kalyaanam kaatchikkendru paattu irukku
Koothaadum maedaikkendru paattu irukku
Thai pongal theevalikkum paattu irukku
Munnooru naatkalukkum paattu irukku
Aanaalum paattu ellaam makkalai poi chaeranum
Illaatti vaai kizhiya edhukkingu paadanum
Vaayeduthu sonnadhellaam paattaagumaa
Summa thee eduthu vechadhellaam vaettaagumaa
Ada nee paadu ellorkkum podhuvaaga thaan

Oru naadodi poongaathu sindhu padikkum
Idhu ododi oorengum thaena thelikkum
Nee kaelu thaai pola nenjai idhu thaalaattum
Naal thorum thaalaattil unnai idhu neeraattum
Vanna kiliyae oo… oo… ho

Oru naadodi poongaathu sindhu padikkum
Idhu ododi oorengum thaena thelikkum

Song Meaning & Analysis

The song "Oru Nadodi" from 'Manikuyil' is a philosophical ode to the power and essence of folk music, personified as a wandering breeze. The singer, a "laborer" of song, describes his music as a natural, comforting force that spreads joy and wisdom, much like a gentle wind carrying the fragrance of the earth. He emphasizes that true understanding comes from experiencing something deeply, just as one must step into a canal to know its depth, and listen to his song to understand him. His music is rooted in Tamil culture, capable of bringing life to barrenness and evoking emotion from the hardest of hearts.

The lyrics further elaborate on the purpose of music, stating that while there are songs for every occasion and festival, their ultimate goal is to reach and resonate with the common people. The singer questions the value of singing if it doesn't connect with the masses, distinguishing between mere words and true song, and between random acts and meaningful endeavors. He advocates for music that is universal and accessible to all, reflecting the spirit of a true folk artist who sings not for personal glory but for the collective soul, offering solace and connection through his art.
