Neelavizhi oram Nilavae kaayum
Isaithaan ingae nathiyaai paayum Rasiththaal podhum madimel saayum
Paavai naan

Hey ratharaa Heyratharaa ratharaa…ratharaa
Ratharaa ratharaa…ratharaahoi

Othadi othadi Oramaa othadi ammadi
Ettadi thullinaa Paththadi paayuven ammadi

Pattanam arinja pokkiri Adi pattiyam therinja pakkiri
Ada ennoda mothaama Vaamaa paappamma
Aadi paapoma Vettu than pottu thaan paapoma

Ada vaamaa paappamma Aadi paapoma
Vettu than pottu thaan paapoma

Othadi othadi Oramaa othadi ammadi

Villadhi villanadi ennaku ennaiya Killaadi illaiyadi
Ada vechalum vechanadi unnaku Sariyaagha thaan
Maachanum oththa vedi

Solanum vandhanam ila Moolaiyil kundhanum
Makku pol nikkura Sekku pol suthura
Sikkalil sikkalaaama…

Ada eppovum thullura Sopana sundari
Ippadi muzhikaalama

Othadi othadi Oramaa othadi ammadi
Ettadi thullinaa Paththadi paayuven ammadi
Vettu than pottu thaan paapoma

Ada vaamaa paappamma Aadi paapoma
Vettu than pottu thaan paapoma

Othadi othadi Oramaa othadi ammadi

Thenmangu paadatuma mayilae Jadhiyodu naan thillana aadatuma
Ada indhadi dappanguthu ithula Periya aalu naan
Summa nee vaaya poththu

Vithaiyaa kathavan Adi peru thaan pethavan
Paththu per madhiyil Sothaiyaa sollaiyaa
Ennai nee ennalaama

Othadi othadi Oramaa othadi ammadi
Nee ettadi thullinaa Paththadi paayuven ammadi

Song Meaning & Analysis

This song is a vibrant and energetic folk-dance number, typical of 80s Tamil cinema, often featuring a playful challenge between a male and female lead. The male protagonist, portrayed as a confident, street-smart 'rogue' or 'villain of villains,' boasts about his prowess and reputation, inviting the female lead to join him in a dance-off or a 'show.' He uses colorful, colloquial language to assert his dominance and challenge her, while also expressing admiration for her beauty. The lyrics are filled with playful taunts and boasts, setting a lively and competitive tone.

The song's mood is boisterous and celebratory, reflecting the common trope of a hero trying to impress or win over the heroine through a display of skill and bravado. The repeated refrain "Othadi Othadi" (Step aside, step aside) serves as both a playful warning and an invitation to engage. It's a classic example of a 'dappanguthu' style song, meant for lively dancing and audience engagement, embodying the spirit of rural festivities and lighthearted flirtation.
