Sathiyama nan solluvathellaam thathuvam
Thathuvamaa naan solluvathellaam sathiyam
Sathiyama nan solluvathellaam thathuvam
Thathuvamaa naan solluvathellaam sathiyam

En jaan udambil oru jaan vayirae sathiyam
En jaan udambil oru jaan vayirae sathiyam
Oru jaan vayiraal en saan udambae thathuvam
Sathiyama nan solluvathellaam thathuvam
Thathuvamaa naan solluvathellaam sathiyam

Nallavarullam thedum bodhu naanayam seraadhu
Naanayam vandhaal adharkkum kooda naanayam irukkadhu
Ullathil thangam undu thangathil ullam illai
Ullathai ingae vaithaan thangathai engae vaithaan

Sathiyama nan solluvathellaam thathuvam
Thathuvamaa naan solluvathellaam sathiyam

Kaalam arindhu neram arindhu kadavul tharugindraan
Kaalam arindhu neram arindhu kadavul tharugindraan
Kanniyam nermai paaradhae enakkattalai idukkindraan
Achaana nottai kandaal machaanum maamanum undu
Achaana nottai kandaal machaanum maamanum undu
Ippodhu naanae raaja en pinnae aayiram kooja

Sathiyama nan solluvathellaam thathuvam
Thathuvamaa naan solluvathellaam sathiyam
En jaan udambil oru jaan vayirae sathiyam
Oru jaan vayiraal en saan udambae thathuvam
Sathiyama nan solluvathellaam thathuvam
Thathuvamaa naan solluvathellaam sathiyam

Song Meaning & Analysis

This song, "Sathiyama Naan," from the 1969 film 'Annaiyum Pithavum Tamil,' is a profound philosophical commentary on human existence and societal values, penned by the legendary Kannadasan. The lyrics cleverly juxtapose "truth" (sathiyam) and "philosophy" (thathuvam), suggesting that the speaker's words are both factual and deeply insightful. A central theme revolves around the human body and its basic needs, particularly the "one-span belly" (oru jaan vayiru) which dictates the actions of the "eight-span body" (en jaan udambu), highlighting how fundamental needs often drive complex human behavior and philosophy.

The song then shifts to a critique of materialism and the erosion of integrity. It laments that true integrity is hard to find, and even when it appears, it might lack genuine value. Kannadasan poignantly states, "There is gold in the heart, but no heart in gold," questioning the misplaced priorities of a society that values wealth over intrinsic human goodness. The latter verses sarcastically observe how money (a crisp note) attracts false relationships and power, turning an ordinary person into a "king" surrounded by sycophants, implying that even divine blessings seem to favor those who disregard dignity and honesty in their pursuit of worldly gains.
