Poraalae ponnu thaayi Pogira pokkil manasa thottu
Thara paarkkum karudha pola Vekka pattu
Poraalae ponnu thaayi Puzhudhi kaattil manasa vittu
Ullooru pollaapukku Kattu pattu
Vellamai neethaan Vellaadu naathaan
Vekkatha vittu thallamaa aa
Vellaamai kaatta Vittu thara maattaa
Panpaada katti kaakkum Patti kaattu karuthammaa
Poraalae ponnu thaayi Pogira pokkil manasa thottu
Thara paarkkum karudha pola Vekka pattu
Poraalae ponnu thaayi Puzhudhi kaattil manasa vittu
Ullooru pollaapukku Kattu pattu
Padikkadha pulla Manasellaam vella
Ivaladhu naakkula pokkula Manasula kallamilla
Un melae kirukku Ulloora irukku
Vaai vittu chollathaanae Thodhu illa thodhu illa
Vaigaikku kadalai chera Yogamilla yogamilla
Athu sari vyazhanum velliyum Iruppadhu dhooramilla…aaa…
Poraalae ponnu thaayi Pogira pokkil manasa thottu
Thara paarkkum karudha pola Vekka pattu
Nee kanda valli Chappaathi kalli
Kalliyin ilaiyilum kaayilum Kaniyilum mullirukkum
Adi podi kalli Neethaandi alli
Kandaangi selai kattum Kannagiyae kannagiyae
Un kosuvathil usura katti Kolluriyae kolluriyae
Vara vara pombala pozhappaiyae Vambula maatturiyaeeeee
Poraalae ponnu thaayi Poraalae ponnu thaayi
Puzhudhi kaattil manasa vittu Ullooru pollaapukku
Kattu pattu Kattu pattu
Poraalae ponnu thaayi Puzhudhi kaattil manasa vittu
Ullooru pollaapukku Kattu pattu
Vellamai neethaan Vellaadu naathaan
Vekkatha vittu thallamaa aa
Vellaamai kaatta Vittu thara maattaa
Panpaada katti kaakkum Patti kaattu karuthammaa
Poraalae ponnu thaayi Pogira pokkil manasa thottu
Thara paarkkum karudha pola Vekka pattu
Poraalae ponnu thaayi Puzhudhi kaattil manasa vittu
Ullooru pollaapukku Kattu pattu
Song Meaning & Analysis
The song "Poraale Ponnuthayi" from 'Karuththamma' beautifully captures the essence of rural romance intertwined with the societal pressures faced by women. The lyrics depict a young man's admiration for Ponnuthaayi (Karuththamma), who is shy and reserved, yet leaves a profound impact on his heart. He sees her as the "harvest" and himself as the "white goat," expressing his longing and frustration at her reluctance. The song subtly hints at the challenges she faces, being "bound by the village's ill repute," which could refer to the stigma associated with her birth or the general conservative environment. The playful banter, where he calls her a "prickly pear cactus" and then a "lily," showcases the push-and-pull of their budding affection.
The emotional core of the song lies in the unexpressed love and the societal constraints that prevent its free expression. The male protagonist is smitten, describing her purity and the madness she evokes in him, yet acknowledges the unsuitability of openly declaring his feelings ("not suitable, not suitable"). The metaphor of "Vaigai to meet the sea" highlights the perceived impossibility of their union, contrasted with a hopeful "Jupiter and Venus are not far apart." The song paints a vivid picture of rural life, where love blossoms amidst fields and traditions, but also where women like Karuththamma are burdened by expectations and judgments, making their journey towards happiness a complex one.
