Thoongaadhae thambhi thoongaadhae
Ippo thoongiputtu pinnaadi yengaadhae
Thoongaadhae thambhi thoongaadhae
Ippo thoongiputtu pinnaadi yengaadhae

Pattukkottai vaarthaigalai pottu
Namba puratchiyaaru paadi vecha paattu
Kannu muzhichukkadaa neeyum idhai kettu
Un surusuruppai kaariyathil kaattu
Thoongaadhae thambhi thoongaadhae
Ippo thoongiputtu pinnaadi yengaadhae

Thollirukka sola muzhunghum aalai
Nee therinjukkathaan kuduthurukkaan moolai
Thollirukka sola muzhunghum aalai
Nee therinjukkathaan kuduthurukkaan moolai

Naama muzhichukkittae irukkaiyilum kooda
Naama muzhichukkittae irukkaiyilum kooda
Thalaiyil molagaa araikka aal iruppaan kooda hoi
Thoongaadhae thambhi thoongaadhae
Ippo thoongiputtu pinnaadi yengaadhae

Thoongaama odudhada aaru Adhu thoongipputtaa nammakku yedhu soru
Thoongaama odudhada aaru Adhu thoongipputtaa nammakku yedhu soru

Oyaama suthuthadaa bhoomi Ada oyaama suthuthadaa bhoomi
Adhu oivedukkum naal irundhaa kaami hoi Thoongaadhae thambhi thoongaadhae
Ippo thoongiputtu pinnaadi yengaadhae

Karnanai pol vaazhndhirundhaal veeran
Kumbhakkarnanai pol paduthirundhaa moodan
Karnanai pol vaazhndhirundhaal veeran
Kumbhakkarnanai pol paduthirundhaa moodan

Nee veeranai pol vaazhanum da thambhi
Nee veeranai pol vaazhanum da thambhi
Indha ooru ulagam irukudhu unnai nambhi hoi
Thoongaadhae thambhi thoongaadhae
Ippo thoongiputtu pinnaadi yengaadhae

Pattukkottai vaarthaigalai pottu
Namba puratchiyaaru paadi vecha paattu
Kannu muzhichukkadaa neeyum idhai kettu
Un surusuruppai kaariyathil kaattu
Thoongaadhae thambhi thoongaadhae
Ippo thoongiputtu pinnaadi yengaadhae
