Vanakkam vanakkam vanakkam
Vanakkam pala murai sonnen Sabaiyinar munnae thamizh magal kannae

Melai naadengum vinjaana kalaigal Angu vilaiyaadum alangaara nilaigal
Melai naadengum vinjaana kalaigal Angu vilaiyaadum alangaara nilaigal
Angu pen illai paesum kan illai Angu pen illai paesum kan illai

Konda panpaadu maravaadha penmai Indha thennaattin vazhi kaakkum menmai
Vanakkam pala murai sonnen Sabaiyinar munnae thamizh magal kannae
