Theviyadi mariyamma Sirippa sirikkiraaye
Ennai sirippaa sirikka vaikka Silaiya nikkiriye

Pothumada sami Ponnupatta paadu
Pothumada sami Ponnupatta paadu

Naathiyillaa boomi Ithu nanmaiyilla naadu
Pothumada sami Ponnupatta paadu

Naathiyillaa boomi Ithu nanmaiyilla naadu
Pothumada sami Ponnupatta paadu

Pasithapothu soreduthu Kodutha kaiyai
Kadithu paarkum janangale

Pathungi paayum Mirugamellaam ungalodu
Piranthu vantha inangale

Pasithapothu soreduthu Kodutha kaiyai
Kadithu paarkum janangale

Pathungi paayum Mirugamellaam ungalodu
Piranthu vantha inangale

Poojai seiveere Pennai thevi enbeere
Vaazhvillaatha penninathai Paavi enbeere

Pothumada sami Ponnupatta paadu

Idamillamal koyil katti Madangal katti
Kulangal vetti podungal

Irandu kaiyil vilakkeduthu Irakkamendraal
Ennavendru thedungal

Idamillamal koyil katti Madangal katti
Kulangal vetti podungal

Irandu kaiyil vilakkeduthu Irakkamendraal

Kannai vaithaane irandu Kaiyai vaithaane
Avan manasai mattum eduthu vaikka Maranthu vittaane

Pothumada sami Ponnupatta paadu

Kallaithaan kandom verum Sembaithaan kandom iru
Kan thiranthu pennai paarkum Karunaiyai kaanom

Iraivanukke kan koduthaan Engalaipol manithanaana

Manithanukku kan kodukka Iraivanaalum mudiyalaiye
Yenappaa

Saathiram poyyo Ketta sarithiram poyyo
Naangal aathirathil padaithukonda Aandavan poyyo

Song Meaning & Analysis

The song "Pothumada Sami Ponnu" is a poignant and powerful lament from the perspective of a woman, addressing God (specifically Mariyamma initially, then a more general 'Sami' or God). It expresses deep anguish and frustration over the suffering endured by women in society. The lyrics highlight the hypocrisy of a world that worships goddesses while simultaneously mistreating and demeaning real women. It criticizes humanity for its lack of compassion, comparing people to predatory beasts, and questions the very presence and benevolence of God in the face of such injustice.

The song further challenges societal norms by pointing out the futility of building grand religious structures without cultivating empathy. It suggests that while God created humans with eyes and hands, a heart (compassion) seems to be missing. The lyrics draw a stark contrast between the divine appearances of the past and the perceived absence of God in the present, lamenting the lack of divine intervention or even basic human kindness towards women. The song culminates in a profound questioning of faith, scriptures, and the very concept of a benevolent creator, born out of the intense suffering and anger experienced by women.
