Ye thangakathi vellikathi Sembukathi irumbukathi
Savarakathi eedaagumaa
Oh koobakathi paasakathi Veerakathi rosakathi
Savarakathi kuththam seiyuma
Veettukathi naatukathi Oorukathi uravukathi saathikathi
Vethakathi neethikathi aanalum Savarakathi polaagumaa
Oh savarakathi polaagumaa
Kathi yethukku thaan Thoppul kodi vettathaan
Kathi yethukku thaan Thoppul kodi vettathaan
{Aah haaaah haa Ahahaaaaa… } (4)
Maramirangi tharaivanthu Kulithondi poruleduthu
Theevatti pathampaathu Naam aayutham senjoomae
Uluthu aruthu maram vetti Kinaru thoondi kall udaichi
Koodu katti kathai solli Kannamoodi irul maranthu
Kanavoonu… kandomae… Kolai senjusirichoomae…
Ye thangakathi vellikathi Sembukathi irumbukathi
Savarakathi eedaagumaa
Oh koobakathi paasakathi Veerakathi rosakathi
Savarakathi kuththam seiyuma
Veettukathi naatukathi Oorukathi uravukathi saathikathi
Vethakathi neethikathi aanalum Savarakathi polaagumaa

Mannaasa ponnaasa Pennaasa peraasa
Por senja idamellam Naam sogam vithaichoomae
Vaanam paranthu mathithottom Kadala kadanthu kodi nattom
Ariva kodanju verkkandom Yemena thorathi oodavittom
Anbathaan …tholaichoomae Vaalathaan…maranthommae…
Ye thangakathi vellikathi Sembukathi irumbukathi
Savarakathi eedaagumaa
Oh koobakathi paasakathi Veerakathi rosakathi
Savarakathi kuththam seiyuma
Veettukathi naatukathi Oorukathi uravukathi saathikathi
Vethakathi neethikathi aanalum Savarakathi polaagumaa
Oh savarakathi polaagumaa

Song Meaning & Analysis
The song "Thangakathi" from 'Savarakathi' is a philosophical exploration of humanity's relationship with tools, particularly the 'knife,' and its dual nature for creation and destruction. It begins by comparing various types of knives – from precious metals to everyday objects and abstract concepts like anger or justice – to the humble shaving razor, questioning if any can truly match its unique purpose. The recurring line, "What is a knife for? To cut the umbilical cord," serves as a powerful metaphor, suggesting that the fundamental purpose of a 'knife' or any tool is for beginnings, for separation that leads to life, rather than solely for violence.
The lyrics then delve into a historical narrative of human evolution, from early tool-making and discovery to grand ambitions like conquering skies and oceans. It highlights humanity's progress in knowledge and power, yet juxtaposes these achievements with the darker consequences: sowing sorrow through war, succumbing to greed, and ultimately losing love and forgetting how to truly live. The song uses the 'savarakathi' (shaving razor) as a symbol of something seemingly innocuous but capable of both precise creation (like shaping a beard) and accidental harm, reflecting the complex moral landscape of human existence and the tools we wield.
