Pombalaiyaa latchanamaa podavaiyai kattu
Summaa purupurnnu kizhichchu pona trousar-a vittu
Pombalaiyaa latchanamaa podavaiyai kattu
Summaa purupurnnu kizhichchu pona trousar-a vittu
Koondhalukku pinnalittu kungumam ittu
Siru kurunagaithaan seiyya venum pombala chittu
Koondhalukku pinnalittu kungumam ittu
Siru kurunagaithaan seiyya venum pombala chittu
: Pombalaiyaa latchanamaa podavaiyai kattu
Summaa purupurnnu kizhichchu pona trousar-a vittu
Alli sorugu adhu kodaali kondai
Maiyittu paaru chinna kangalirandai
Vettrilai pottu nallaa sivakkanum udhadu
Veyyil pattaalae summaa jolikkanum azhagu
Manjal poosu thangathattu polirukku
Maamanaiyum pakkaththilae sundi izhukkum
Achcham naanam kooda vanthaal deivam pirakkum
Antha kaala paththinigal amsam irukkum
Pombalaiyaa latchanamaa podavaiyai kattu
Summaa purupurnnu kizhichchu pona trousar-a vittu
Harae rama harae krishna izhukkuthu ulaga
Aadhikaala thathuvangal kalakkuthu manasai
Harae rama harae krishna izhukkuthu ulaga

Naagareegam namma naattai paduththuthu paadu
Namakku mattum uriyathandro pazhaiya panpaadu
Thaayin pinnae maranthu sellum Tamizhar pennammaa
Thalaivan munnae thalai kuniyum Azhagu kannammaa hmm hmm hmm
Intha naattil piranthavalnnaa onnu seiyyammaa Idaiya nallaa izhuththu moodi pudavaiyai kattammaa
Pombalaiyaa latchanamaa podavaiyai kattu
Summaa purupurnnu kizhichchu pona trousar-a vittu
Song Meaning & Analysis
This song is a didactic piece from a male perspective, instructing women on how to embody traditional Tamil femininity. It strongly advocates for the saree as the appropriate attire, explicitly rejecting modern clothing like trousers, which are described as "tattered." The lyrics detail various traditional beauty practices: braiding hair, applying vermilion, wearing kohl, chewing betel leaves for red lips, and applying turmeric for a golden glow. Beyond physical appearance, the song emphasizes virtues like modesty, a gentle smile, and deference to one's husband, suggesting that these qualities lead to a divine presence and embody the essence of chaste women from the past.
The song serves as a cultural commentary, expressing concern over the perceived negative influence of "modernity" (nāgareegam) on traditional Tamil values. It contrasts these new trends with "ancient philosophies" and the "old culture," asserting that the latter is uniquely ours and should be preserved. The lyrics paint an idealized picture of a Tamil woman as one who is modest, respectful of her elders and husband, and adheres strictly to traditional dress codes, ultimately calling for women to embrace the saree as a symbol of their cultural identity and heritage.
