Kettum pattanam poi ser endru
Sonnavan nallavanaa naan ariyen
Kettum pattanam poi ser endru
Sonnavan nallavanaa naan ariyen
Kaaveri vaasam vittu
Koovathin vaasam kanden
Kaaveri vaasam vittu
Koovathin vaasam kanden
En kadhai ammammammaa
Un kitta chollattumaa
Kettum pattanam poi…
Kettum pattanam poi ser endru
Sonnavan nallavanaa naan ariyen
Kettum pattanam poi ser endru
Sonnavan nallavanaa naan ariyen
Thavaru nerungaamal
Thadamum puralaamal
Neruppaai naan irundhen
Dharuma neri kaakkum
Manidhar pala perkku
Seruppaai naan irundhen
Kadamai nadai podum
Kaaval thuraiyodu
Thuruppaai naan irundhen
Kalavu purivorai ulavu paarkkindra
Poruppaai naan irundhen
Nalladhu nadakkalae podhuvaaga
Nimmadhi kalaindhadhu medhuvaaga
Ingoru kudumbamae baliyaaga
En manam enakku thaan pagaiyaaga
Poyaachu en thookkangal
Veraachu en nokkangal
En kadhai ammammammaa
Un kitta chollattumaa
Kettum pattanam poi…
Kettum pattanam poi ser endru
Sonnavan nallavanaa naan ariyen
Kettum pattanam poi ser endru
Sonnavan nallavanaa naan ariyen
Niyaayam azhindhaalum

Netru nilai veru indru nilai veru
Adi naan kandu konden
Enniya vazhi ellaam kaal pochu
Ippadi thaanammaa naal pochu
Appadi soozh nilai uruvaachu
Naan adhan kaigalil vizhundhaachu
Vaazhkkai thaan mun pol illai
Kutram thaan en mel illai

"Go to the city even if you lose everything," they say—
Was the man who said that good? I do not know.
"Go to the city even if you lose everything," they say—
Was the man who said that good? I do not know.
Leaving behind the sweet scent of the Cauvery river,
I ended up smelling the foul stench of the Cooum.
Leaving behind the sweet scent of the Cauvery river,
I ended up smelling the foul stench of the Cooum.
Oh, the tale of my life!
Shall I tell it to you?
"Go to the city even if you lose everything..."
"Go to the city even if you lose everything," they say—
Was the man who said that good? I do not know.
"Go to the city even if you lose everything," they say—
Was the man who said that good? I do not know.
Never letting wrongdoing come near me,
Never straying from the right path,
I lived as pure as fire.
For many good men
Who stood up for what is right,
I served humbly like footwear protecting their feet.
Alongside the police force
Walking the path of duty,
I was like a secret trump card.
Spying on those who steal and break the law,
I carried that responsibility.
Yet nothing good came out of it generally,
My peace of mind slowly shattered.
As an entire family was destroyed here,
My own conscience turned against me like an enemy.
All my sleep is gone,
My life's goals have changed.
Oh, the tale of my life!
Shall I tell it to you?
"Go to the city even if you lose everything..."
"Go to the city even if you lose everything," they say—
Was the man who said that good? I do not know.
"Go to the city even if you lose everything," they say—
Was the man who said that good? I do not know.
Even if fairness was wiped out,
Even if justice died,
I used to think, "Why should I care?"
That no one in this world
Can reform this country—
I came to realize that truth.
Closing my eyes,
In the millions of dreams that blossomed,
I once used to live.
Yesterday was one life, today is another—
Oh girl, I have finally seen it.
My feet wandered wherever my mind drifted,
And that is how my days passed by.
Circumstances turned out like that,
And I fell trapped into their hands.
Life is not the same as it was before,
Yet the blame does not lie on me.
Oh, the tale of my life!
Do I still need to tell it?
"Go to the city even if you lose everything..."
"Go to the city even if you lose everything," they say—
Was the man who said that good? I do not know.
"Go to the city even if you lose everything," they say—
Was the man who said that good? I do not know.
Leaving behind the sweet scent of the Cauvery river,
I ended up smelling the foul stench of the Cooum.
Leaving behind the sweet scent of the Cauvery river,
I ended up smelling the foul stench of the Cooum.
Oh, the tale of my life!
Do I still need to tell it?
"Go to the city even if you lose everything," they say—
Was the man who said that good? I do not know.
"Go to the city even if you lose everything," they say—
Was the man who said that good? I do not know.
