Samaththaana mappillai ivaru Sangathi keladi thangachi
Samaththaana mappillai ivaru Sangathi keladi thangachi

Thangam pola chinna ponnukku Samamaai intha ammaanji
Thangam pola chinna ponnukku Samamaai intha ammaanji
Samamaai intha ammaanji

Vennei vettiya sippaai ivaru Pennai kattukka vanthaaru
Thonnai konduvaa neiyai podu Dosai muppathu thinpaaru

Paarvaikku thaanadi raja Paththini ponnukku koojaa
Paarvaikku thaanadi raja Paththini ponnukku koojaa
Paarkkira paarvai thookkuthu aalai Payila pottukka lesaa

Dakkumukku dikku thaalam adiyae Kottungadi ketti melam
Dakkumukku dikku thaalam adiyae Kottungadi ketti melam

Samaththaana mappillai ivaru Sangathi keladi thangachi

Pottenna poovenna Ponnenna maniyenna
Ponnaaga piranthumenna Podaatha nagai enna poomaalai azhagenna
Bommai polirunthumenna

Sappaani mookkayi ivalukku Nam veettil sambantham vaaiththathenna
Samsaari maappillai sanniyaasiyaai maara Idam paarththu vanthathenna

Ammaa ivathaan athirshttakkaari Azhagiya mappillai vachchaaru
Arjunan pola enga mappillai Aadhi manthiyai pudichchaaru

Arivenna thiramenna azhagenna Gunamenna aaraatchi moolai enna
Aaraezhu varushangal aaraam vaguppilae Aaniyaal Adichchathenna

Maharani seedhaikku raman kidaikkaamal Anumaaru vaaichchathenna
Magarasi ival vanthu vaazhavaippaal endru Manamaalai pottathenna

Song Meaning & Analysis

This song is a quintessential example of a traditional Tamil wedding song, specifically a 'nalangu' or 'oonjal' song, where women playfully tease the bride and groom. The lyrics are a humorous exchange, with different groups of women (or perhaps the same group taking turns) making fun of both the bride and the groom. They exaggerate their flaws, question their suitability for each other, and make witty, sometimes sarcastic, remarks about their appearance, intelligence, and character. The overall mood is one of joyous celebration, lighthearted banter, and affectionate teasing, which is a common cultural practice in South Indian weddings to ease tension and add merriment.

The song uses vivid imagery and cultural references, comparing the groom to a 'butter-cutting soldier' or a 'water pot' for a chaste girl, and the bride to a 'lame-nosed' girl or a 'cactus' in cunning. Despite the seemingly critical words, the underlying sentiment is one of warmth and blessing for the couple. The rhythmic interjections of "Dakkumukku dikku thaalam adiyae / Kottungadi ketti melam" serve to maintain the festive and energetic atmosphere, reminding everyone that this is all in good fun as they celebrate the union.
