Thottathu maappillai Veettai thaedi vandhaal
Summaa varalaamaa Than tholgalil maalai soodiya pennai
Thaniyae vidalaamaa

Kattu kuramagal Kaadhal manamagal
Kanneer vidalaamaa Aval kattiya poovinil
Ottiya kaadhalum Kaatril poi vidumaa haa
Kaatril poi vidumaa Patta kadanum theerndhidumaa

Thottathu maappillai Veettai thaedi vandhaal
Summaa varalaamaa Than tholgalil maalai soodiya pennai
Thaniyae vidalaamaa

Muzhangaal varaiyum Moodiya aadai
Mogam tharavillaiyaa Aval mun varum jaadaiyum
Pin varum vaadaiyum Vegam tharavillaiyaa hoi
Veeram tharavillaiyaa Adhil mogam varavillaiyaa

Thottathu maappillai Veettai thaedi vandhaal
Summaa varalaamaa aaaa… Than tholgalil maalai soodiya pennai
Thaniyae vidalaamaa

Thaakkiya kangal eettiyai polae Sariyaai vizhavillaiyaa
Aval thala thala maeniyum Kala kala baaniyum
Sarasam tharavillaiyaa haa Sarasam tharavillaiyaa
Nenjil sabalam varavillaiyaa

Thottathu maappillai Veettai thaedi vandhaal
Summaa varalaamaa aa…aa… Than tholgalil maalai soodiya pennai
Thaniyae vidalaamaa

Song Meaning & Analysis

The song is a playful and teasing lament from a woman to her lover/husband, who seems to be neglecting her or not showing enough passion. She questions his lack of initiative and desire, despite her presence and allure. The lyrics use vivid imagery, comparing her eyes to spears and her body to a soft, supple form, all designed to evoke desire. She challenges him, asking if he can truly leave her alone after she has committed to him, and if her love and beauty are not enough to stir his passion.

The mood is one of romantic teasing, a woman's gentle chiding of her beloved for his perceived indifference. It's a blend of longing, playful accusation, and an assertion of her own desirability. The song captures the dynamics of a romantic relationship where one partner is trying to reignite the spark or express their unmet desires in a charming, indirect manner, typical of classic Tamil cinema songs that explore romantic themes with a touch of innocence and poetic flair.
