Pettakkozhi chinna chittukkozhi Venum kattuppaadi
Pettakkozhi chinna chittukkozhi Venum kattuppaadi
Paalaadai koranjaa Thanmaanam pogumadi
Melaadai sarinjaa Panpaadu paavamadi
Kandavargal kannupadum Unnazhaga moodikkadi
Siththam ketta sirukkiyai pola Thoranthu poda venaamadi
Adi lambaa puliyangombaa Lambaa lambaa nee puliyangombaa
Kaadu manjakkaadu Pachcha manjal araichchu podu
Melanaattu mogaththa nee VIttupputtu odu

Thegam kaatti nadanthu vanthaa Kettuppudum naadu

Adi lambaa nee puliyangombaa Male and Chorus :
Lambaa lambaa nee puliyangombaa
Song Meaning & Analysis
This song is a didactic piece, delivered from a male perspective, advising a young woman on the importance of modesty, traditional values, and proper conduct. It uses metaphors like 'little hen, tiny sparrow' and 'slender tamarind branch' to address her, urging her to maintain self-respect by dressing modestly and avoiding any behavior that might be seen as immodest or attention-seeking. The lyrics warn against the 'Western allure' and emphasize covering one's body, suggesting that a woman's dignity and the nation's moral fabric are intertwined with her adherence to traditional norms.
The song strongly advocates for traditional Tamil femininity, highlighting the virtues of shyness and chastity, citing the legendary Kannagi as an epitome of purity. It suggests that adhering to these values will lead to familial acceptance, symbolized by the 'aunt's son' embracing her. The overall tone is cautionary and paternalistic, aiming to guide the young woman towards a path of perceived cultural righteousness and away from behaviors deemed to be 'spoiling the village' or lacking in dignity.
