Raathiri poovaadai Nazhuvudhu melaadai
Paal vanna udambil Paruvathin baaram
Thaan mattum sumandhu Thattu thadumaarum
Vaa… vaavaa vaavaa
Raathiri poovaadai Hae nazhuvudhu melaadai
Aarugal ellaam Kadalil adangum hae hae
Aanmaiyil thaanae Penmai adangum
Kangalil thudikkudhu ullam Karaigalai meerudhu vellam
Un kaiyai konjam kondaa Adhil kaadhal regai undaa
Kaiyai konjam kondaa Adhil kaadhal regai undaa
Kani vandhu kettum kili vidalaamaa Hoo… hoohoo hoohoo
Raathiri poovaadai Hae nazhuvudhu melaadai
Paal vanna udambil Paruvathin baaram
Thaan mattum sumandhu Thattu thadumaarum

Haei naaniya pengal Solvadhum illai
Aasaiyil en manam koosum Vaasanai vaarthaigal paesum
Nitham pitham yerum En ratham satham podum
Nitham pitham yerum En ratham satham podum
Un nuni viralaalae Kani thoda vendum

Nazhuvudhu melaadai Paal vanna udambil
Paruvathin baaram Thaan mattum sumandhu
Thattu thadumaarum Vaa… vaavaa vaavaa
Raathiri poovaadai Haa
Nazhuvudhu melaadai
