Poongathu vesum adhigaalai neram Kadal melae naanga vala veesa porom
Namma pozhappu nalla nadakka Namba saami varatha kodukkum
Andha saami varatha koduthaa Namma kudumbam nalla irukkum
Poongathu vesum …adhigaalai neram Kadal melae naanga vala veesa porom
Kattu Maratha katti
Povom Kadalukkuklla
Meenu Kedachudhunna kondattam thaan
Pongi Adikkum alai
Meendum Karaiyil namma
Vandhu Irakki vittaa sandhosam thaan
Kadal devi namma kaapathuvaa Petha thaaiya pola sooru oottuvaa
Nammoda paadhai thanneeru mela Nammoda vazhkkai kaathadi polae
Thandhana thandhana thandhana thandhana Thandhana thandhana thandhana thandhana
Poongathu vesum adhigaalai neram Kadal melae naanga… vala veesa porom
Utchi Marathula ellam
Katchi Kodi parakka
Kootam Nadakkuthappa oorukkulla
Endha Kuberan vandhu
Aandaa Namakku enna
Namma Pozhappu indha neerukkullae
Ada thoni thaanda namma sothu Adha nambi vaazhvom paaduppattu
Nambikkai thaanda nammoda selvam
Naam ellaam onna munnaeri selvom
Thandhana thanndhana thandhana thandhana
Thandhana thandhana thandhana thandhana
Poongathu vesum adhigaalai neram Kadal melae naanga vala veesa porom
Namma pozhappu nalla nadakka Namba saami varatha kodukkum
Andha saami varatha koduthaa Namma kudumbam nalla irukkum
Poongathu vesum …adhigaalai neram Kadal melae naanga vala veesa porom
Song Meaning & Analysis
This song is a heartfelt anthem of the fishing community, capturing their daily struggles, hopes, and deep connection with the sea. It portrays the early morning ritual of venturing into the ocean, driven by the simple yet profound desire for a good catch to sustain their families. The lyrics express a strong faith in divine blessings for their livelihood and a profound respect for the sea, personified as a protective mother figure, the Sea Goddess, who provides for them.
Beyond their immediate struggle, the song also touches upon the political landscape, noting the party flags and meetings in the village, but dismisses their relevance to the fishermen's lives. For them, their true wealth lies not in political power or material possessions, but in their boat, their hard work, and their unwavering hope. It's a powerful message of self-reliance, community spirit, and the enduring optimism of those who depend directly on nature for their survival, emphasizing unity and collective progress.
