Punjai undu nanjai undu Pongivarum gangai undu
Panjam mattum innum Ingu maaravilla
Enga baaradhathil Soththuchanda theeravilla
Veedhikkoru katchiyundu Saadhikkoru sangamundu
Needhi solla mattum Ingu naadhiyilla
Sanam nimmadhiyaa Vaazha oru naalumilla
{Idhu naadaa illa Verum kaadaa
Idhai ketka yaarum Illai thozhaa} (2)
Punjai undu nanjai undu Pongivarum gangai undu
Panjam mattum innum Ingu maaravilla
Enga baaradhathil Soththuchanda theeravilla
Vaanaththai etti nirkum Uyarndha maaligai
Yaaringu kattivaithu koduthadhu Oorukku paadupattu
Uzhaitha koottamo Veedindri vaasalindri thavikkudhu
Ethanai kaalam ippadi pogum Endroru kelvi naalai varum
Ullavai ellaam yaarukkum sondham Endringu maarum velai varum
Aayiram kaigal koodattum Aanandha raagam paadattum
Naalaya kaalam nammodu Nichaiyam undu poraadu
Vaanagamum vaiyagamum Engal kaigalil endraadu
Punjai undu nanjai undu Pongivarum gangai undu
Panjam mattum innum Ingu maaravilla
Enga baaradhathil Soththuchanda theeravilla
Aatrukku paadhai ingu Yaaru thandhadhu
Thaanaaga paadhai kandu nadakkudhu Kaatrukku paattu cholli
Yaaru thandhadhu Thaanaaga paatu onnu padikudhu
Enniya yaavum kaigalil saerum Nambikkai vendum nenjukkullae
Kaalaiyil thondrum sooriyan polae Ponnoli vendum kannukkullae
Cheriyil thendral veesaadhaa Ezhaiyai vandhu theendaadhaa
Gangai therkae payaadha Kaveri odu seraadha
Paadupadum thozhargalin Tholgalil maalai soodaadhaa
Punjai undu nanjai undu Pongivarum gangai undu
Panjam mattum innum Ingu maaravilla
Enga baaradhathil Soththuchanda theeravilla
{Idhu naadaa illa Verum kaadaa
Idhai ketka yaarum Illai thozhaa} (2)
Song Meaning & Analysis
