| Aazha kannaal tamizh sonnalae | She spoke Tamil with her deep eyes, |

| Mounam ondrum oonam alla alla | Silence is not a disability at all, at all, |
| Vaarthai ellam muzhumai alla alla | Words are not complete in themselves at all, at all, |

ஆழ கண்ணால்
தமிழ் சொன்னாலே ஜாடை
கொண்டு பாஷை சொன்னாலே
நாவில் மட்டும் ஊனம் என்றாலே
ஹையோ ஓஓ
She spoke Tamil with her deep eyes,
She expressed a language through her gestures,
Though they said she has a disability only in her tongue...
Oh dear!...
மௌனம் ஒன்றும்
ஊனம் அல்ல அல்ல வார்த்தை
எல்லாம் முழுமை அல்ல அல்ல
அவள் முகமே போதும் மொழி
சொல்ல சொல்ல ஆ ஆஆ
ஆஆ ஆஆ
Silence is not a disability at all, at all,
Words are not complete in themselves at all, at all,
Her face alone is enough to speak languages...
Ah... aaa aaa aaa...
Aazha kannaal tamizh sonnalae
She spoke Tamil with her deep eyes,
Jaadai kondu baashai sonnalae
She expressed a language through her gestures,
Naavil mattum oonam endralae…..
Though they said she has a disability only in her tongue...
Haiyoo ooo……….
Oh dear!...
Mounam ondrum oonam alla alla
Silence is not a disability at all, at all,
Vaarthai ellam muzhumai alla alla
Words are not complete in themselves at all, at all,
Aval mugamae podhum mozhi solla solla….
Her face alone is enough to speak languages...
Aahh…..aaa aaa aaa……
Ah... aaa aaa aaa...
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
These lines from the film Mozhi celebrate non-verbal communication and reframe disability through poetic appreciation. The lyricist highlights how the female protagonist, despite being unable to speak, communicates powerfully and poetically through her deep eyes, facial expressions, and body gestures. It emphasizes that silence is not a handicap and that spoken words are often incomplete compared to genuine emotional expression.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor & Imagery
“Aazha kannaal tamizh sonnalae”
Describing her eyes as speaking 'Tamil' metaphorically elevates her silent gaze to the status of a rich, articulated language.
Epistrophe / Adukkuthodar (Repetition for emphasis)
“Mounam ondrum oonam alla alla”
The repetition of 'alla alla' (not at all) and 'solla solla' (to speak) adds rhythmic musicality and strongly emphasizes the assertion that silence is not an imperfection.
Antithesis (Contrast)
“Mounam ondrum oonam alla alla”
Contrasts the physical silence ('Mounam') with the idea of impairment ('oonam'), reframing silence as a full presence rather than an absence.
