Come come kainaatu Ennanga ejamaan
Thitturingha…(Dialogue)

Thooki paaru Thookku chattiyaa
Ada athana parthen(Dialogue)

Thokku chattiyaa Thooki parthu
Moopam pudi da Ethula enna irukkuthunu
Kandupudi daa

Thokku chattiyaa Thooki parthu
Moopam pudi da Ethula enna irukkuthunu
Kandupudi daa

Pala veetu soththu rusi Parthuputta kastamada
Oru veetil ithanaiyum Kedaikurathum kastamada

Yaarum parkaama Theriyaama thingonum
Therinji pochuna Thalai kavizhndhu nikkonum

Kedaichathellam eduthu vei Mudinchathuna micham vei

{Thokku chattiyaa Thooki parthu
Moopam pudipom Ethula enna irukkuthunu
Kandupudipom} (3)

Kamman choru Kathirikka kootu irukku
Neththu vecha meen kulambu Ingae irukku

Keppa kazhi Kuchchi karuvaadum irukku
Saama chooru sanabu keerai Paruppum irukku

Porucha vaathu Mutta vaasam…aahaaaahaa
Porucha vaathu Mutta vaasam
Paruthi kattu Varaikkum veesum

Amaa…

Porucha vaathu Mutta vaasam
Paruthi kattu Varaikkum veesum

Chetti naatu Aachi sutta
Mutta dosai Nakkil pesum

Tharigida thom Tharigida thom
Thathith thom

Nellu choorum Kollu saarum
Manasa kollai Adikkum paaru

Aiyoo

Chola choorum Pulicha moorum
Rasichu rasichu Kuduchi paaru

Iiishhhh Ada pulicha thanni
Kuda serthu Vengayatha kadika venum
Poricha molagu vaththal oda Karaichi karaichi
Kudikka venum

Yaarum parkaama Theriyaama thingonum
Therinji pochuna Thalai kavizhndhu nikkonum

Kozhi kulambirukku Koodi thingha thembhu irukku

Song Meaning & Analysis

This song is a vibrant celebration of traditional South Indian village cuisine, particularly focusing on the simple yet rich flavors enjoyed by rural folk. It paints a picture of a communal meal, where various dishes are brought together in a 'thookku chatti' (tiffin carrier), and the act of identifying them by smell becomes a playful ritual. The lyrics list a mouth-watering array of dishes, from Kambu rice and fish curry to Ragi kali, duck eggs, and Chettinad dosa, highlighting the diversity and rustic charm of the food.

Beyond just food, the song also touches upon the camaraderie and perhaps a touch of mischievousness associated with eating. Phrases like "eat without anyone seeing or knowing" suggest a shared, intimate experience, possibly hinting at the simple joys of a laborer's meal or a secret indulgence. The overall mood is one of hearty enjoyment, appreciation for traditional flavors, and the simple pleasures of life in a rural setting, underscored by Ilayaraja's folk-infused music.
