Pappa pappa kadhai kelu Kakka nariyin kadhai kelu
Thatha paatti sonna kadhai Amma appa ketta kadhai

Pappa pappa kadhai kelu Kakka nariyin kadhai kelu
Thatha paatti sonna kadhai Amma appa ketta kadhai

Oorukku veliaye kadaiyiruku Kadaiyilae vengaaya vadaiyirukkum
Kadaiyiale vadaiya thiridikichaam Kakka marathilae kundhikichaam

Kakka mookilae vadaiyiruku Kulla nariyumae paathikichaam
Naekka vadaiyai vaangidavae Nariyoru thanthiram pannikichaam

Kakka paattu paadasolli Kulla nariyumae kettukichaam
Vaaya thiranthu kakka paada Vadaiyum keezhae vizhunthiduchaam
Vizhunthatha nariyum kavvikkichaam Vaayila pottu thinnudichaam

Pappa pappa kadhai kelu Kakka nariyin kadhai kelu
Thatha paatti sonna kadhai Amma appa ketta kadhai
