Koovam manakkira seemaiyithu…
Koovam manakkira seemaiyithu…..
Pattanmo pattanam
Kundu kuzhiyumaa rodu irukku
Latchanamo latchanam
Intha ooru sanangala paaththuputtaen
Ullatha naan sollavaa
Ingu yaarum thalaigal aattugira
Bommaingathaan allaavaa
Koovam manakkira seemaiyithu…
Katchiyum kitchiyum pesikkittu
Sandaiya pottukiraan
Male :Amaammaa
Male :Kandappan sonnatha kettukittu
Mandaiya aattikkiraan
Male :Aamam ooi
Saavi koduththaakkaa aadugira bomma
Aaga moththam ingae naanarinja unmai
Saeri sanga sangathi ingae chekkumaaduthaan
Onnu pona vazhi maththathum
Pogum semmari aaduthaan
Naattu nadappa arinjaen purinjaen naanthaanae…ae….
Koovam manakkira seemaiyithu…..
Pattanmo pattanam
Kundu kuzhiyumaa rodu irukku
Latchanamo latchanam
Intha ooru sanangala paaththuputtaen
Ullatha naan sollavaa
Ingu yaarum thalaigal aattugira
Bommaingathaan allaavaa
Koovam manakkira seemaiyithu…..

Moolaikku moolaiththaan kunthikittu
Mangaaththaa aadugiraan
Ennanu yaedhunu kettudaamaa
Maamula kodukkiraan amaaa
Valluvanin pechchu kaaththuthaan pochchu
Pallavanin ullae ezhuthi vachchaachchu
Kaasu irunthaa kaasu irunthaa pattanam pooraa
Velaikku vaangalaam
Kattaththin melae kaalaiyum neetti
Paduththu thoongalaam
Naattu nadappa arinjaen purinjaen naanthanae
Koovam manakkira seemaiyithu…..
Pattanmo pattanam
Kundu kuzhiyumaa rodu irukku

This is the land where the Cooum river spreads its scent...
This is the land where the Cooum river spreads its scent...
What a grand city, oh what a city!
The roads are full of bumps and potholes,
What a fine, pitiful sight it is!
I have taken a good look at the people of this town,
Shall I tell you the plain truth?
Isn't everyone living around here
Just a head-nodding doll?
This is the land where the Cooum river spreads its scent...
Arguing endlessly over political parties,
They pick fights with each other.
Male: Yes, that is right, ma'am!
Male: Listening to whatever some local leader says,
They just nod their heads along.
Male: That's so true, oh yes!
Like a wind-up toy that dances only when keyed,
All in all, the truth I realized here is this:
Life in these neighborhoods goes in circles like an oil-mill ox,
Following wherever the first one goes,
Just like a flock of sheep!
I have seen and understood the ways of this world all by myself...
This is the land where the Cooum river spreads its scent...
What a grand city, oh what a city!
The roads are full of bumps and potholes,
What a fine, pitiful sight it is!
I have taken a good look at the people of this town,
Shall I tell you the plain truth?
Isn't everyone living around here
Just a head-nodding doll?
This is the land where the Cooum river spreads its scent...
...
Squatting in every street corner,
They gamble away playing cards,
Without questioning what or why,
They quietly pay the bribes, oh yes!
The wise words of sage Valluvar are lost to the wind,
Written only inside the Pallavan city buses!
If you have money, if you have money, the whole city
Can be bought to do your work!
You can stretch your legs out on a terrace building
And lie down to sleep peacefully!
I have seen and understood the ways of this world all by myself!
This is the land where the Cooum river spreads its scent...
What a grand city, oh what a city!
The roads are full of bumps and potholes,
What a fine, pitiful sight it is!
I have taken a good look at the people of this town,
Shall I tell you the plain truth?
Isn't everyone living around here
Just a head-nodding doll?
This is the land where the Cooum river spreads its scent...
