Track Credits & Star Cast
Othaiyaa rettaiyaa mothamaa Onnu sernthu varanum
Thutchamaa ennithaan nenjile Vetriyinai tharanum
Pettai kozhi onnu sabatham poduthu Kolli malaiyile
Nathaangoodu onnu viratham kaakkuthu Nandu valaiyile
Othaiyaa rettaiyaa mothamaa Ondru sernthu varanum
Thutchamaa ennithaan nenjile Vetriyinai tharanum
Pattukotta paatta Puthu raagam pottu neetta
Vanthirukku neram ithai Ellaarum kondaada venum
Paavalara pola Pala nooru medai kaana
Vaadaa chinna thambi Nee vanthaa kulirum en nenju
Namma paattaali peraala Pallaanguzhi aadi
Koothaadi vikkiraandaa naatta Itha solli ezhutha venum paatta
Othaiyaa rettaiyaa mothamaa Onnu sernthu varanum
Thutchamaa ennithaan nenjile Vetriyinai tharanum
Saathi endru solli Oru paathiyaagi ponom
Neethi endru solli Theru naayoda koottaali aanom
Sithan sonna vaakku Sudu saambalaagi pochu
Bakthan endra pechum Puthu kattaari thuppaaki aachu
Namma paattaali ellaarum Koottaali aagaamal
Neraathada oru maatram Nee sethaalum kittaathu motcham
Othaiyaa rettaiyaa mothamaa Ondru sernthu varanum
Thutchamaa ennithaan nenjile Vetriyinai tharanum
Pettai kozhi onnu sabatham poduthu Kolli malaiyile
Nathaangoodu onnu viratham kaakkuthu Nandu valaiyile
Othaiyaa rettaiyaa mothamaa Ondru sernthu varanum
Thutchamaa ennithaan nenjile Vetriyinai tharanum
Song Meaning & Analysis
The song "Othaiyaa Rettaiyaa" is a powerful call to unity and social awakening, urging people, particularly the working class (பாட்டாளி), to come together to fight for justice and bring about meaningful change. It criticizes societal divisions based on caste and the hypocrisy of those who claim justice while exploiting others. The lyrics lament the degradation of spiritual teachings and the rise of violence, symbolized by the transformation of a devotee's words into weapons.
The song uses vivid imagery, like a hen taking an oath on Kolli Hills or a snail observing a fast in a crab's net, to emphasize resilience and determination against overwhelming odds. It references the progressive lyrical style of Pattukottai Kalyanasundaram, suggesting a continuation of his socially conscious message. Ultimately, the song asserts that without collective action and solidarity among the common people, no real transformation can happen, and even death will not bring liberation.
