Paavaiyargal maan polae kaaviriyin neer polae
Paavaiyargal maan polae kaaviriyin neer polae
Vaazhum vagai vaazhnthaalae devathaikku mel aagum
Naagarega kolam enna kolamaagumo
Paavaiyargal maan polae kaaviriyin neer polae
Vaari vittu pinnaal podungal
Vaasamulla poovai soodungal….poovai soodungal
Aa….aa…aa…aa…aa…aaa….
Ponnagaiyilum udaiyilum azhagillai pennae
Un nagaiyilum nadaiyilum sugam undu kannae
Padiththu padiththu uraiththa thamizhai padiththidungal
Paavaiyargal maan polae kaaviriyin neer polae
Paavaiyargal maan polae kaaviriyin neer polae
Nallathor penmani kaattilum vaazhalaam
Thaasiyin veettilum nermaiyaai vaazhalaam
Naan thannai unarntha mangai
Naan punitham niraintha gangai
Enai thiruththa enakku yaarum thevaiyillai
Nallathor penmani kaattilum vaazhalaam…..
Pattu selai kattum pothae
Maanam kaaval nirkkum
Pottum poovum vaikkum pothae
Dheivam thedi varum
Adhuthaan neengalaa sariyaai sollungal
Pattu selai kattum pothae
Maanam kaaval nirkkum
Dheivam ingae vanthaal kooda
Ennai saerththu kollum
Kaalam pogum pokkai paarththu
Konjam maara sollum
Sariyaai paarungal illaiyael kelungal
Dheivam ingae vanthaal kooda
Ennai saerththu kollum
Nilam paarththu nadappaalae
Andraiya kaalaththu pengal
Mugam paarththu sirikkindraal
Indraiya kaalaththu pengal
Pompala sirippenna pugaiyila virippenna
Pattu selai kattum pothae
Maanam kaaval nirkkum
Kurai yaedhum irunthaalae
Sollungal thiruththikolven
Unnidaththil kurai irunthaal
Naan adhai eduththu solven
Aangalum pengalum sarisamamaagumandro
Women are like deer, like the waters of the Kaveri
Women are like deer, like the waters of the Kaveri
If they live life the right way, they become greater than goddesses
What kind of strange look has modern fashion become?
Women are like deer, like the waters of the Kaveri
Comb your hair neatly and let it fall behind you
Wear fragrant flowers in your hair... wear flowers
Ah... ah... ah... ah... ah... aah...
Beauty is not in gold jewellery or fine clothes, my girl
There is true joy in your smile and your graceful walk, my dear
Read and learn the wisdom taught by Tamil again and again
Women are like deer, like the waters of the Kaveri
Women are like deer, like the waters of the Kaveri
A noble woman can live with honour even in a forest
She can live with dignity even in a courtesan's home
I am a woman who knows her own worth
I am pure like the sacred waters of the Ganga
I do not need anyone to reform or correct me
A noble woman can live with honour even in a forest...
When you wear a traditional silk saree,
modesty stands guard over you
When you wear a pottu (bindi) and flowers,
God himself comes looking for you
Is that really you? Tell me honestly!
When you wear a traditional silk saree,
modesty stands guard over you
Even if God came down here right now,
he would accept and embrace me
Seeing the way the times are changing,
he would tell you to change a little too
Look at things properly, or listen and learn
Even if God came down here right now,
he would accept and embrace me
Walking with their eyes cast down to the ground,
that was the way of women in the past
Looking straight into your face with a smile,
that is the way of women today
What is this open laughter? A woman laughing freely is like tobacco spread in the open!
When you wear a traditional silk saree,
modesty stands guard over you
If there is any flaw in me,
tell me, and I will correct it
If there is any flaw in you,
I will point it out to you too
After all, aren't men and women equal?
