Saamiyilum… saami idhu… Saamiyilum saami idhu oomai chaami
Idhu sanyaasi polirukkum aasaami

Saamiyilum saami idhu Oomai chaami

Sambo sangara mahadhevaa Saamba sadhaasiva gurudhevaa

Sambo sangara mahadhevaa Saamba sadhaasiva gurudhevaa

Bumchikku bumchikku Bumchikku bum bum

Boomiyaiyae paarthirukkum Pudavaiyinnaa nadu nadungum
Boomiyaiyae paarthirukkum Pudavaiyinnaa nadu nadungum
Sirikka chonnaa kaasu ketkkum seemai chaami Endha seedhaikko ivar oru naal raamasaami

Sambo sangara mahadhevaa Saamba sadhaasiva gurudhevaa

Sambo sangara mahadhevaa Saamba sadhaasiva gurudhevaa

Kadharumadi kai pidichaa Padharumadi kannadichaa

Song Meaning & Analysis

This song is a playful and teasing description of a shy, introverted man, humorously comparing him to various deities. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who is aloof and seemingly detached, like a 'mute god' or a 'hermit,' especially when it comes to women. He's depicted as someone who trembles at the sight of a saree, panics at a touch or a wink, and is so innocent that he's called 'Ponnu Saami' (golden god) who doesn't know what to do when love strikes.

The song further pokes fun at his aversion to marriage, likening him to Lord Ganesha, who is traditionally depicted as unmarried. Despite the teasing, there's an underlying affection, suggesting that for the right 'Sita,' he might one day become a 'Rama.' The repeated chants of 'Sambo Shankara Mahadeva' add a devotional yet ironic layer, as the man's characteristics are contrasted with the powerful and often intense imagery of Lord Shiva, making the playful critique even more endearing.
