Oru poraaliyin payanam idhu Avan poraadi petra parisu idhu
Oivillaamal uzhaiththavanae Nee oivu kolla poriyaa
Thaayin madiyil thavazhnthaa Nee tharaikkul thoonga poriyaa
Oivillaamal uzhaiththavanae Nee oivu kolla poriyaa
Ilaingargalai ezhuppa vantha Kutti singamae
Ilam sooriyanaai oli veesiya Katti thangamae
Kolai veriyar jaadhi pedha Thatti thookkinaarae
Kolkaikaga vaazhntha unthan Uyirai pokkinaarae
Oivillaamal uzhaiththavanae Nee oivu kolla poriyaa
Yaesu puththar nabigal gandhi Kaattum vazhiyilae
Pesum puyal peryaar annaa Ambedkar mozhiyilae
Kundram pola muzhangi nadantha Kulavilakku neeyadaa
Un kodi nizhalil Endrum naangal kooduvom paaradaaaa
Oivillaamal uzhaiththavanae Nee oivu kolla poriyaa
