Ummai Nambi Vanthaen
உம்மை நம்பி வந்தேன் நான் வெட்கப்படல
உம் தயை என்னைக் கைவிடல (2)
வெறுங்கையாய் நான் கடந்துவந்தேன்
இரு பரிவாரங்கள் எனக்குத் தந்தீர் (2)
ஏல்-எல்லோகே ஏல்-எல்லோகே
உம்மைத் துதிப்பேன்- நான்
காயப்பட்டு நின்றேன் கண்ணீரில் சென்றேன்
கலங்கின எனக்காக இறங்கி வந்தீர் (2)
உடன்படிக்கை என்னோடு செய்து
இழந்திட்ட யாவையும் திரும்பத் தந்தீர் (2) – ஏல்
வேண்டினோரெல்லாம் விடைபெற்ற போதும்
வேண்டியதெல்லாம் எனக்குத் தந்தீர் (2)
பரதேசியாய் நான் தங்கினதை
சுதந்திரமாக மாற்றித் தந்தீர் (2) ஏல்
Ummai nambi vandhaen naan vetkappadala
Um dhayai ennai kaividala (2)
Verungaiyaai naan kadandhuvandhaen
Iru parivaarangal enakku thandheer (2)
Ael-elloagae ael-elloagae
Ummai thudhippean- naan
Kaayappattu nindraen kanneeril sendraen
Kalangina enakkaaga irangi vandheer (2)
Udanbadikkai ennoadu seidhu
Izhandhitta yaavaiyum thirumba thandheer (2) – Ael
Vaendinoarellaam vidaipetra poadhum
Vaendiyadhellaam enakku thandheer (2)
Paradhaesiyaai naan thanginadhai
Sudhandhiramaaga maatri thandheer (2) Ael
