Ulagam ippo engo pogudhu
enakkindha annai boomi podhum
enakkindha annai boomi podhum

ingu pirandhavarum engo pogirar
enakk-endhan sondha naadu podhum
enakk-endhan sondha naadu podhum

vagai vagayai vaazhndha ellam vaazhkai illaya
vazhi vazhiyai kathadhellam namadhu selvam illaya

maatram-than nalla maatrama
adhu namakku venumaa ?

Ulagam ippo engo pogudhu
enakkindha annai boomi podhum
enakkindha annai boomi podhum

Charanam 1

nadhigalinaal nilam sezithu kozhippathil nenjam 
nehizhgiren 
vidhi vasathaal naan sothukk-alaithadhai enni paarkiren 
pattiniyum paamaranum barathathin selvam enben
naadu vittu selbavarellam izhindirukkum yezhai enben 
anniyarin selvamellam annai mannukoru inayamo
indha mannai vittu vittu engu povadhu

Ulagam ippo engo pogudhu
enakkindha annai boomi podhum
enakkindha annai boomi podhum

edhuvum inge maari pogudhu
ennai indha maatram enna seyyum
ennai indha maatram enna seyyum

Charanam 2

vaarthaikulle adangiduma munnor-tham perumai ellam 
ninaikaiyile nenjamellam nirambi vazhiyudhey
