Singaara thaer kooda thirai pottu pogum Adhu kooda unakkilaiyae
Ammammaa sevvaanam thanai kooda megangal moodum Moodaatha venn mullaiyae
Singaara thaer kooda thirai pottu pogum Adhu kooda unakkilaiyae
Ammammaa sevvaanam thanai kooda megangal moodum Moodaatha venn mullaiyae
Muththukkal sippikkul irunthaal enna Mottukkal ilaikkul maranthaal enna
Kattukkul maeniyai vaiththai enna Kallaipol illaamal kaninthaal enna
Ada vaazhaithandu kaalai konjam Selai suttri vaiththaal enna
Vanna chittu saanthu pottu Vaiththaal enna
Singaara thaer kooda thirai pottu pogum Adhu kooda unakkilaiyae
Ammammaa sevvaanam thanai kooda megangal moodum Moodaatha venn mullaiyae
Thandaikku kaalgalil idamillaiyo Kondaikku koondhalil vazhiyillaiyo
Manjalthaan mangaikku manamillaiyo Mayittaal kannukku azhagillaiyo
Ambaalai kannaara kandu penmai Kondaal nanmaiyundu

Singaara thaer kooda thirai pottu pogum Adhu kooda unakkilaiyae
Ammammaa sevvaanam thanai kooda megangal moodum Moodaatha venn mullaiyae
Song Meaning & Analysis
This song is a poignant commentary on the erosion of traditional Tamil cultural values, particularly concerning women's modesty and attire, in the face of Western influence. The lyricist, Kannadasan, uses vivid metaphors like a veiled chariot and clouds covering the sky to highlight the natural inclination towards covering and modesty, contrasting it with a woman who is "uncovered white jasmine." He questions the abandonment of traditional adornments like sarees, anklets, bindis, and kohl, urging women to embrace these symbols of femininity and grace, drawing parallels to the divine modesty of Goddess Ambal.
The song takes a critical turn by observing the irony of Westerners appreciating and adopting elements of Indian culture (like Kandaangi sarees, Gita, and Sita) while Indians themselves are discarding their heritage for what the song perceives as "intoxication and torment." It passionately advocates for the preservation of South Indian culture, which is rooted in love, affection, and joy. The final warning about motherhood becoming a "ghost" underscores the deep concern for the potential loss of core societal values if traditional femininity and cultural roots are forsaken.
