Oru thaaram thalaiyil vechu Maru thaaram pakkam vecha
Sivanae sivanae sivanae Oru podhum maravaadhunnai
Theru oram paadum indha Maganae maganae maganae
Kan kondu paarum aiyaa Varam ondru thaarum aiyaa
Eesaa sarvaesaa enai aalum magaraasaa Aiyaa nee paathaa en kaiyaal aagaadhaa

Oru thaaram thalaiyil vechu Maru thaaram pakkam vecha
Sivanae sivanae sivanae

Aatril oru kaalai vaithaan Saetril oru kaalai vaithaan
Sivanae sivanae sivanae Koozhukkum aasai pattaan
Meesaikkum aasai pattaan Maganae maganae maganae
Parandhodi vaarum aiyaa Paavathai theerum aiyaa
Eesaa sarvaesaa enai aalum magaraasaa Aiyaa nee paathaa en kaiyaal aagaadhaa

Oru thaaram thalaiyil vechu Maru thaaram pakkam vecha
Sivanae sivanae sivanae

Kaikkullae kaniyum undu Kaayai yaen thaedi ponaan
Sivanae sivanae sivanae Padithaalum buthi vallae
Puriyaadha makku pullae Maganae maganae maganae
Thalaivaa un arulai koottu Thelivaana vazhiyai kaattu
Eesaa sarvaesaa enai aalum magaraasaa Aiyaa nee paathaa en kaiyaal aagaadhaa

Oru thaaram thalaiyil vechu Maru thaaram pakkam vecha
Sivanae sivanae sivanae Oru podhum maravaadhunnai
Theru oram paadum indha Maganae maganae maganae

Song Meaning & Analysis

This song is a poignant plea from a man caught in a moral dilemma, likely the protagonist of the film 'Sathi Leelavathi', who is struggling with bigamy. He addresses Lord Shiva, drawing a parallel to Shiva's own divine duality of having Ganga on his head and Parvati by his side. The lyrics express the protagonist's confusion, indecisiveness, and regret over his choices, using metaphors like placing one foot in the river and another in the mud, or seeking unripe fruit when ripe fruit is at hand. He acknowledges his foolishness despite his education and earnestly seeks divine guidance and forgiveness.

The song captures the protagonist's internal turmoil and his desperate cry for help from a higher power. It reflects a common human tendency to stray from the right path due to desire or lack of wisdom, and then to seek redemption. The repeated invocation of Shiva underscores the depth of his prayer, hoping that a divine glance will empower him to overcome his self-inflicted troubles and find clarity. The devotional tone, combined with the underlying narrative of human folly, makes it a relatable and emotionally resonant piece within the film's comedic yet morally complex storyline.
