Pothivecha malliga mottu Vaadudhadi vasanai kettu
Maalaiyoda sera villaiyaeae…
Maalaiyogam aasaiyoda Aalaanadhae
Indru paalanadhae
Pothivecha malliga mottu Vaadudhadi vasanai kettu
Chinna kili naalum Yenguvilaiyya
Seiya sonna thaali Vangavillaiyaa
Ithu maari ponadhaa Dhesai maari ponadhaa
Ithu neethaana Ini vazhvenaa
Intha aathu meedu satchi solluma
Pothivecha malliga mottu Vaadudhadi vasanai kettu
Maalaiyoda sera villaiyaeae…
Maalaiyogam aasaiyoda Aalaanadhae
Indru paalanadhae
Unna enni thaanae Manjal kulichen
Rettai jadai pottu Pinni mudichen
Athu kalanji ponadhu Konjam karanji ponadhu
Manam paaradhu Unnai cheradhu
Ival kolam poda vaasal illaiyae
Pothivecha malliga mottu Vaadudhadi vasanai kettu
Maalaiyoda sera villaiyaeae…
Maalaiyogam aasaiyoda Aalaanadhaehmmmmmmm
Indru paalanadhae…mmm…mmm Aalaanadhaehmmmmmmm
Indru paalanadhae…mmm…mmm
