{Haei thanthananaa Hoi thanthanna
Hoi thanthanna thanthaanaa} (2)
Podunnaa podanum neenga Naanga munthi virichchaalae
Podunnaa podanum neenga Naanga munthi virichchaalae
Munnae vanthu sirichchaalae
Pandigai naalithuthaanga Naanga voottukku vooduthaan ketpom
Pandigai naalithuthaanga Naanga voottukku vooduthaan ketpom
Yaaru vallalu ingaethaan paappom
Podunnaathuttu Podunnaa podanum neenga
Naanga munthi virichchaalae Munnae vanthu sirichchaalae…hei
Ullooru MLA neenga Ada ungalaal aanatha thaanga
Katchiyai maaththunga neenga Intha nottaiyum maaththiyae thaanga
Yaezhai sanam kettaakka illaiyinnu poreenga
Koottaniyaa pinnaadi vote-tu ketkka vaareenga
Annaatchi nillunga yaedhaachchum podunga ippo
Ada thaiyyara thaiyyara thaiyyara thaiyyara
Podunnaathuttu Podunnaa podanum neenga
Naanga munthi virichchaalae Munnae vanthu sirichchaalae…hei
Kanjaththanam pannaakkaa ippadiyae nippeenga
Nalla manam undaanaal paththu kada vappeenga
Annaatchi nillunga yaedhaachchum podunga ippo
Ada thaiyyara thaiyyara thaiyyara thaiyyara
Kattiya ponjaathi irukka Neenga kandatha meyurathethukku
Kuppaththu rajave neega Puththi eppaththaan thirunthuveenga
Thaaikulaththa kandaalae paai virikka ennaathae
Thuttugala vachchikkittu thappugala pannaathae
Annaatchi nillunga yaedhaachchum podunga ippo
Ada thaiyyara thaiyyara thaiyyara thaiyyara
Podunnaa podanum neenga Naanga munthi virichchaalae
Munnae vanthu sirichchaalae Pandigai naalithuthaanga
Naanga voottukku vooduthaan ketpom Yaaru vallalu ingaethaan paappom
Podunnaathuttu Podunnaa kaasu podunnaa podanum neenga
Naanga munthi virichchaalae Munnae vanthu sirichchaalae…hei
Song Meaning & Analysis
This song is a vibrant, folk-style plea from a group of women, likely sung during a festival or a traditional begging ritual. They go door-to-door, spreading their saree pallus (the end of the saree used to collect offerings) and smiling, demanding that people give them money or gifts. The lyrics playfully challenge the generosity of the men they encounter, declaring it a festival day where they will see who the true benefactors are. The song captures the spirit of community interaction and the traditional practice of seeking alms or gifts during auspicious times, often with a touch of persuasive charm and directness.
Beyond the immediate request for donations, the song cleverly weaves in social commentary. It directly addresses a local MLA, criticizing politicians who ignore the poor but return for votes, urging them to be generous. It then targets a stingy shopkeeper, suggesting that generosity leads to prosperity, while miserliness leads to stagnation. Finally, it admonishes a man for his philandering ways despite having a wife, and warns against misusing money for immoral acts. The song uses humor and direct language to highlight societal issues while maintaining its core theme of asking for contributions, making it a lively and insightful piece.
