Vellai kalai uduththum kalaimagalae Nee vithavaiyalla athai naan arivaen
Ival illa kamalam adhil uraiyum idam Oruvarukko illai iruvarukko
Vellai kalai uduththum kalaimagalae Nee vithavaiyalla athai naan arivaen
Ival illa kamalam adhil uraiyum idam Oruvarukko illai iruvarukko
Oruvanukku maaliyittaal Avaraial kandaal
Matoruvarukku maalaiyittaal Izhanthuvittaal
Ival sumangaliyaa illai amangaliyaa
Sumangali enbatharkku ivan satchi Amangali enbatharkku avan satchi
Kalanguthammaa ival manasatchi Nee kaatividu oru katchi
Vellai kalai uduththum kalaimagalae Nee vithavaiyalla athai naan arivaen
Ival illa kamalam adhil uraiyum idam Oruvarukko illai iruvarukko
Nangaiyar vaazhvil idhu pudhiya kadhai

Vellai kalai uduththum kalaimagalae Nee vithavaiyalla adhai naan arivaen
Ival ulla kamalam adhil uraiyum idam Oruvarukko illai iruvarukko

Vaazhvu kalanguthammaa vazhiyillai
Vaai thiranthu solla mozhiyillai
Vellai kalai uduththum kalaimagalae Nee vithavaiyalla adhai naan arivaen
Ival ulla kamalam adhil uraiyum idam Oruvarukko illai iruvarukko
Song Meaning & Analysis
The song "Vellai Kalai Uduthum" from the 1978 film 'Iraivan Kodutha Varam' is a poignant plea to Saraswati, the Goddess of Arts, depicted in white, to resolve a complex marital dilemma. The protagonist is caught in an unusual situation where she has been associated with two men. The lyrics describe her as having "garlanded one man and found him," and then "garlanded another and lost him," leading to a profound question: is she a 'sumangali' (a woman whose husband is alive, considered auspicious) or an 'amangali' (a widow, considered inauspicious)? The song highlights the societal and personal turmoil arising from this ambiguous status, with one man serving as a witness to her 'sumangali' state and another to her 'amangali' state, leaving her conscience deeply troubled.
The narrative further complicates as it reveals the woman's innocence and purity, stating that despite being married, she remains untouched and a virgin. The emotional core of the song lies in her yearning for a normal marital life ("wished to see him in the bridal chamber") and the unexpected twist of finding "him" (likely the first husband presumed lost or dead) in an unexpected place like a school. This discovery throws her life into further disarray, creating unanswered questions and an unresolved turmoil. The song is a desperate cry for divine intervention to show her a clear path forward, as she is left speechless and without direction in a life fraught with confusion and societal judgment.
