Pogalaam pogalaam theerththa yaaththirai
Antha bodhaiyil kaanalaam yoga niththirai
Pogalaam pogalaam theerththa yaaththirai
Antha bodhaiyil kaanalaam yoga niththirai
Ada bodhaiyilathaan nalla nyaanam pirakkum
Antha nyaanaththilathaan sorkkavaasal thirakkum
Pogalaam pogalaam theerththa yaaththirai
Antha bodhaiyil kaanalaam yoga niththirai
Kaaveri aaththodu neer vattri ponaalum
Kanmaaigal ellaamae thannaalae kaanjaalum
Panjam varum kaalaththilum pongi varum gangaiyithu
Paavangalai theerkka vantha thevaloga paanam idhu
Yaezhaigalin manam kulira namathu arasu koduththathu
Pogalaam pogalaam theerththa yaaththirai
Antha bodhaiyil kaanalaam yoga niththirai
Ada bodhaiyilathaan nalla nyaanam pirakkum
Antha nyaanaththilathaan sorkkavaasal thirakkum
Pogalaam pogalaam theerththa yaaththirai
Antha bodhaiyil kaanalaam yoga niththirai
Dhesiya bhaanaththa unnaama pogaathae
Unnaama ponaalae en nenjam thaangaathae
Aaala vantha nallavanga anbu nenjam kondavanga
Aadharavil vachcha kada nee kudikka enna thada
Yaezhagalin kudisai thozhilai

Pogalaam pogalaam theerththa yaaththirai
Antha bodhaiyil kaanalaam yoga niththirai
Ada bodhaiyilathaan nalla nyaanam pirakkum
Antha nyaanaththilathaan sorkkavaasal thirakkum
Pogalaam pogalaam theerththa yaaththirai
Antha bodhaiyil kaanalaam yoga niththirai
Song Meaning & Analysis
This song from the 1985 movie 'Naam' is a brilliant piece of social satire, cleverly disguised as a devotional or celebratory tune. The lyrics use religious metaphors like "pilgrimage" (theertha yaaththirai), "yogic slumber" (yoga niththirai), and "gates of heaven" (sorkkavaasal) to ironically describe the effects and perceived benefits of consuming alcohol. It suggests that intoxication leads to wisdom and spiritual liberation, a stark contrast to traditional spiritual beliefs. The song's core message is a sarcastic commentary on the societal acceptance and promotion of alcohol, particularly its impact on the poor.
The lyrics further mock the situation by comparing alcohol to the holy river Ganga, claiming it can absolve sins and is a "divine drink" provided by the "government" to bring solace to the impoverished. This highlights a critical perspective on state-sponsored liquor sales or policies that might inadvertently encourage alcohol consumption among vulnerable populations. The final stanza directly refers to it as a "national beverage" and frames its consumption as a way to support the "cottage industry of the poor," a cynical nod to local liquor production. The song's mood is deeply ironic and critical, using humor and exaggerated praise to expose a serious social issue.
