Haeiiiiiiyaaaa
Drrrrr Ulagam verum iruttu
Nee uruppadiyaa yaethikkadaa vilakku Ulagam verum iruttu
Nee uruppadiyaa yaethikkadaa vilakku Elaarum pona vazhi naan pogum munnae
Irandil ondru Ada irandil ondru paarppaenadaa
Endha emanaiyum kaelvi kaetpaenadaa
Ulagam verum iruttu Nee uruppadiyaa yaethikkadaa vilakku
Thaedum kaasu pana vaettai Nee ooradicha moottai
Oru kaalam vandhaa thaalam Thandhina thaanaa
Dumkku dappaa thaghara dappaa Dumkku dappaa thaghara dappaa
Amkku dappaa thaghara dappaa Thaghara dappaa yenna velappaa
Thaedum kaasu pana vaettai Nee ooradicha moottai
Oru kaalam vandhaa thaalam Thandhina thaanaa
Thirudi chaertha panam nikkaadhudaa Onnae vekkaadhudaa
Adhu pora vazhi kaagadhu daa Nalladhu kettadhu ethana vandhadhu
Ethana ninnadhu ethana pochudhu Suthina kaasukku pathiram pannura daei…
Ulagam verum iruttu Nee uruppadiyaa yaethikkadaa vilakku
Jaadhi rendunnu sonnadhu Avvai sonnadhu
Angaeyae ninnadhu angaeyae ninnadhu Dharmam enna pannudhu
Jaadhi rendunnu sonnadhu Avvai sonnadhu
Angaeyae ninnadhu dharmam enna pannudhu
Thatthuvathai pazhikkaadhae Thaengaa chaami
Saadhi baedham paarppadhillae namma saami Ada amman saami…
Amman saami vaela paaru Aamaam saami vaelai edhukku
Ulagam verum iruttu Nee uruppadiyaa yaethikkadaa vilakku
Hoi…hoi hoihoi
Poosai naalu tharam pannu Nee ezhu tharam thinnu
Nee oor panatha thinnaa vaayila mannu Poosai naalu tharam pannu
Nee ezhu tharam thinnu Nee oor panatha thinnaa vaayila mannu
Odambu rapparai pol veenghudhadaa Boomi thaangudhadaa
Saami eppodhum thaangaadhadaa Katti mudichavan veettil illadaa
Veettil ullavan kattiyadhalladaa Ethanai solliyum buthi porakkala daei…
Ulagam verum iruttu Nee uruppadiyaa yaethikkadaa vilakku
Ellaarum pona vazhi naan pogum munnae Irandil ondru
Ada irandil ondru paarppaenadaa Endha emanaiyum kaelvi kaetpaenadaa
Ulagam verum iruttu Nee uruppadiyaa yaethikkadaa vilakku
Song Meaning & Analysis
This song from 'Thyagam' is a powerful social commentary, delivered with a raw, energetic folk-rock vibe. The lyrics, penned by Kannadasan, critique societal ills like greed, hypocrisy, and the superficiality of religious practices. The singer, T.M. Soundararajan, embodies a defiant voice challenging the status quo, urging listeners to "light a proper lamp" in a world shrouded in darkness. It questions the pursuit of ill-gotten wealth, emphasizing its transient nature and ultimate futility. The song also directly addresses the caste system, referencing the ancient poet Avvaiyar's teaching of only two castes (the rich and the poor, or those who give and those who don't), lamenting how this wisdom was ignored and asking what role 'dharma' plays then.
The song further criticizes religious hypocrisy, where people perform rituals but engage in corrupt practices, warning that divine tolerance has limits. It highlights the irony of those who accumulate wealth through exploitation, comparing their bloated bodies to rubber, tolerated by the earth but not by God. The protagonist declares his resolve to confront injustice, even challenging Yama (the God of Death), asserting that he will make a stand before following the common path. It's a call for introspection, righteous living, and a rejection of societal norms that perpetuate inequality and moral decay.
