vaarthai thavari ponathanaalae,
vaazhkai thavari ponadhu paaru,
netru pozhudhu thirumba varudhu,
adharkku bhoomi anumadhikkaadhu,
poovai pennaa sonnavan yaaru?
malarai aruthu maruthuvam paaru,
vaanam tholaivaa,
illai vaazhkai tholaivaa,
ingu vaazhum manidhaa,
unmai puriyallaiyae,
vaarthai thavari ponadhanaalae,
vaazhkai thavari ponadhu paaru,

(Instrumental)
minnalukkum minminikkum thagaraaraa?
kann irukku, kannangal dhaan varallaaraa?
pookkal ellam sandhaegithaal sarugaadhu,
bodhimaram kooda ingu viragaagum,
iraivanai oru moorai vara vazhaithu,
illaram nadathida solla vaendum,
mangaiyarin manadhai kandu pidikka,
matrum oru Columbus ingu vaendum,
mudhal muraiyaa,
illai mudi uraiyaa,
karaiyae illaadha kadalkaraiyaa?
vaanam tholaivaa,
illai vaazhkai tholaivaa,
ingu vaazhum manidhaa,
unmai puriyallaiyae,
