வாழைப் பழந்தின்றால் வாய்நோகு மென்றுசொல்லித்
vaazhai pazhanthinraal vaaynogu menrusolli
தாழைப் பழத்தின்று சாவெனக்கு வந்ததடி
thaazhai pazaththinru saavenakku vanthathadi
தாழைப் பழத்தைவிட்டு சாகாமற் சாகவல்லோ
thaazhai pazhathaivittu saagamar saagavallo
வாழைப் பழந்தின்றால் என் கண்ணம்மா!
vaazhai pazanthinraal en kannammaa!
வாழ்வெனக்கு வாராதோ!
vazhvenakku vaaraatho!’
