Poovukenna pootu kaatrukenna rootu Gullaa gullaa hallaa gullaa
Vaanum mannum yaaruku neeyum naanum yaaruku Gullaa gullaa hallaa gullaa

{Nee sirichaa deewanaa kaikodutha masthana
Gullaa gullaa hallaa gullaa
Neeyum naanum onnaanaa roopu theraa masthana
Gullaa gullaa hallaa gullaa} (2)

Solai kili enna oru kavalai Eppodhum paravaigal azhuvadhillai
Sooriyanil endrum iravu illai Eppodhum sorgathuku thadaiyillai
Gullaa gullaa hallaa gullaa… Gullaa gullaa hallaa gullaa…

Kaanathaanae kangal kaneer sindha illai
Meghangal manvizhundhu kaayangal aanadhillai

Kaanathaanae kangal kaneer sindha illai
Meghangal manvizhundhu kaayangal aanadhillai
Vaazhathanae vaazhkai veezhvadharku illai
Pollaadha jaadhi madham iraivanum sollavillai

{Paadathanae nenjam mounam enna enna
Aasaikku rekkaikatti kattavizhthu aadavidu } (2)

Vellathanae veeram kolvadharku illai
Kaiyodu kaiserthu vaanathaiyae thottuvidu

{Gullaa gullaa hallaa gullaa… Gullaa gullaa hallaa gullaa} (2)

Kaanathaanae kangal kaneer sindha illai
Vaazhathanae vaazhkai veezhvadharku illai
Paadathanae nenjam mounam enna enna
Vellathanae veeram kolvadharku illai

{Nee sirichaa deewanaa kaikodutha masthana
Neeyum naanum onnaanaa roopu theraa masthana} (2)
