Solladi bhaaratha maadha Nee suthanthiram petrathu theetha
Ithanai kuralgal azhugindra pothum Irandu kaathum ketkaatha illai
Kaathae kidayatha
Solladi bhaaratha maadha Nee suthanthiram petrathu theetha
Ratham indri suthanthiram petrom Athuthaan engal varalaru
Suthanthiram vaangi ratham sinthinom Solladi edhu nam kolaru
Vaanigam nadatha vandhavar Andru arasiyal kondathu varalaru
Arasiyal nadatha vanthavar indru Vaanigam seivathu kolaru
Maanila sandai mathangalin sandai Inangalin sandai nadakkudhadi
Malligai poovukkum jaathiyai vaitha Manidhanai thiruthum vazhiyennadi
Solladi bhaaratha maadha Nee suthanthiram petrathu theetha
Gangai kaaveri nadhigalilae Nam kaneer thuligalai oda vittom
Thurigai yendhiya kaigalilae Indru thuppakkigalai yendhi vittom
Santhi santhi endra mannilae Indru sadalangal melae nadanthu sendrom
Gaandhi annal silai udaithu Adhil kaithadi mattum naam eduthu kondom
Kalaiyil isaiyil kanitha dhesam Idiyil gadiyil karuguvathoo
Buthan pirantha punniya boomi Ratha kaadaai maaruvathoo
Solladi bhaaratha maadha Nee suthanthiram petrathu theetha
Solladi bhaaratha maadha Nee suthanthiram petrathu theetha
Song Meaning & Analysis
This powerful song is a poignant lament addressed to Mother India, questioning the true meaning and cost of independence. The lyricist, Vairamuthu, expresses deep anguish over the internal strife, communal violence, and corruption that plague the nation despite achieving freedom. He contrasts the bloodless struggle for independence with the bloodshed witnessed post-independence, highlighting a perceived moral decay where political leaders prioritize personal gain over public service, and societal divisions based on caste, religion, and region run rampant.
The song uses vivid imagery to convey its message, such as tears flowing in sacred rivers, brushes being replaced by guns, and walking over corpses in a land that once preached peace. The symbolic act of breaking Gandhi's statue and only taking his staff represents the nation's failure to uphold his ideals, retaining only superficial symbols while abandoning his core principles of non-violence and unity. It's a desperate plea for introspection and a call to remember the foundational values of a land that nurtured art, music, and spiritual leaders like Buddha, now seemingly consumed by conflict.
