CHORUS 1:
Kadavulae aye kadavulae
Poadhum niruthu undhan pennin padaipu
Pen poovai kaati aalai thinnum selai neruppu
Pennin sollukku ade enne madhippu
Aval sollukadiyil poyyum nanjum kottikidakku

CHORUS 2:
Nenjam thudikkuthey thudikkuthey thudikkuthey
Kangal kalanguthey kalanguthey
Aangal ellaam manal veedukal
Pengal vandhu vilayaadungal, vilayaadungal ye

Kadavulae aye kadavulae

Poovukku adi vizhum naagham undu
Ithu vinjaanam solkindre unmay
Poovaithum naaghangal alayvadhundu
Ithu en jaanam kaangindre unmay
Kaathal vandhaal kuyilai poale konji konji kaththuvaal
Kaalam vandhaal kokkai poale kannai mattum koththuvaal

Iraiva bhoomi vandhaal nee pennai kandu oaduvaal
Paavam aangal endru nee solli paaduvaal
Pen endraal ellaam poykal thaanaa?

Nenjam thudikkuthey thudikkuthey thudikkuthey
Kangal kalanguthey kalanguthey
Ithu njyaayamaa kadavulae!

Kaatrene naanum irundhaene
Perum puyalaaghe neeyennai seithaay
Poovene naan unnai ninaithaene
Oru bhookhambam poal vandhu sendraay

Santharpangal maarumpoadhu saththiyathai kolvaalaa
Pachchoanthikkum ungalukkum bandhapaasam ullathaa
Mirugham ennil undu naan unnaal indru kandaene
Kaathal illaa graham ini ennai kondu saerpaene
En vaazhkai, thisai maariyathey

Nenjam thudikkuthey thudikkuthey thudikkuthey
Kangal kalanguthey kalanguthey
Ithu njyaayamaa aah
