Mella nee veesu Poovudan mella nee peesu} (2)

Karaiyin madiyil Nadhiyum thoongum
Kavalai marandhu thoongu Iravin madiyil ulagam thoongum
Iniya kanavil thoongu

Thendralae thendralae Mella nee veesu
Poovudan mella nee peesu

Oooeeehhhhaaa Ehhhhhooooohhhhh

Kaadhal endraal kavalaiya Kannil neerin thivalaiya
Noi aanen uyirum nee aanen Iravil kaayum muzhu nila
Enakku mattum sudum nila Vaaraiyo enai nee seraiyo

Thoonga vaikkum nilavae Thookam indri neeyae vaadinaiyo

Solla varthai kodi dhan Unnai neril kandaal mounam en

Thoonga vaikka paadinen naan Thookamindri vaadinen

{Thendralae thendralae Mella nee veesu
Poovudan mella nee peesu} (2)
