Vetkkapada vendum Ovvoru manithanum
Vetkkapada vendum Ovvoru manithanum
Vedhanai pada vendum Vedhanai pada vendum
Avanavan nenjai thottapadi
Vetkkapada vendum Ovvoru manithanum
Vedhanai pada vendum Avanavan nenjai thottapadi
Sorkaththin thanthaiyaana Antha kadavul kudiththaaraa
Yazhai varkaththin thanthaiyaana Annal ganthi kudiththaaraa
Paaratha poril kadamaiyai seitha Kannan kudiththaara
Uyar kaaviyathalaivi seedhaiyai pirikka Raman kudiththaaraa
Vetkkapada vendum Ovvoru manithanum
Vedhanai pada vendum Avanavan nenjai thottapadi
Ivai bhoomi adhu illai saami Medhaigal sonnaarae
Intha kudi oru boodham idhu illai vedham Enbathai sonnaaraa
Gandhiyai pootti punnagai seitha Siraiyin kadhavugalae
Gandhiyai pootti punnagai seitha Siraiyin kadhavugalae
Paalum kudiyai pootti unakkul vaiththaal Kudiyaa muzhugi vidum
Paalum kudiyai pootti unakkul vaiththaal Kudiyaa muzhugi vidum
Vetkkapada vendum Ovvoru manithanum
Vedhanai pada vendum Vedhanai pada vendum
Avanavan nenjai thottapadi Avanavan nenjai thottapadi
Song Meaning & Analysis
The song "Vetkapada Vendum" is a powerful moralistic anthem, urging every individual to feel shame and regret for actions that lead to societal decay, particularly focusing on the vice of drinking. It rhetorically questions whether revered figures like God, Mahatma Gandhi, Krishna, and Rama ever indulged in alcohol, thereby setting them as examples of abstinence and moral uprightness. The lyrics emphasize that true wisdom lies in recognizing alcohol as a destructive force, a "demon" rather than a sacred text.
The song uses vivid imagery, such as the prison doors that "smiled" when Gandhi was incarcerated, to highlight the contrast between noble sacrifice and self-inflicted harm. It concludes with a poignant rhetorical question: if one locks away the "wretched habit of drinking," will the family "drown"? This cleverly plays on the double meaning of 'kudi' (drink/family) to imply that abstaining from alcohol is crucial for the well-being and survival of one's family, thus reinforcing the central message of personal responsibility and societal welfare.
