அந்த அன்புள்ள அன்னக்கிளி தன்னை தருமா
என்னை சந்திக்க ஆசைப்பட்டு ஜன்னல் விட்டு வருமா
இந்த அன்புள்ள அன்னக்கிளி தன்னை தருமா
உன்னை சந்திக்க ஆசைப்பட்டு ஜன்னல் விட்டு வருமா
Will that loving swan surrender itself?
Desiring to meet me, will it step out from the window?
Female: This loving swan will give itself,
Desiring to meet you, it will step out from the window.
முன்பு சந்தித்தாள் பின்பு கண்டித்தாள்
நேற்று தண்டித்தாள் இன்று சிந்தித்தாள்
Earlier she met me, later she scolded me,
Yesterday she punished me, today she reflected,
அந்த அன்புள்ள அன்னக்கிளி தன்னை தருமா
என்னை சந்திக்க ஆசைப்பட்டு ஜன்னல் விட்டு வருமா
Will that loving swan surrender itself?
Desiring to meet me, will it step out from the window?
ஒரு பார்வையில் விதை வந்தது
மறுப் பார்வையில் மழை வந்தது
துளிர் விட்டது நெஞ்சம்
பெண் மனம் குளிர்விட்டது கொஞ்சம்
In one glance, a seed was planted,
In the next glance, rain showered down,
The heart sprouted,
The woman's heart cooled down a little,
கூந்தலில் பூக்களை ஒளித்தேன்
சின்னக் கோபத்தில் காதலை மறைத்தேன்
காதலும் வானமும் ஒன்றுதான்
அதை கைகளில் மூடிட நினைத்தேன்
I hid flowers in my hair,
I hid my love behind mild anger,
Love and the sky are the same,
I thought of covering it with my hands,
ஊமைகள் நாடகத்தில் நானொரு பாத்திரமா
நாடகம் முடிந்துவிட்டால் மௌனமும் சாத்தியமா
என்று சிந்தித்தேன் நாளை சந்திப்பேன்
இந்த அன்புள்ள அன்னக்கிளி தன்னை தருமே
உன்னை சந்திக்க ஆசைப்பட்டு ஜன்னல் விட்டு வருமே
Am I a character in a drama of the mute?
When the play ends, is silence also possible?
So I thought, I will meet you tomorrow,
This loving swan will give itself,
Desiring to meet you, it will come through the window,

முத்தக்கலை கற்ப்பிக்கவும்
மோகக் கதை ஒப்பிக்கவும் நெஞ்சென்பது இல்லை
கண்மணி நேசம் போல் இல்லை
To teach the art of kissing,
And recite stories of passion, my heart is not lacking,
My darling, there is nothing like true affection,
காதலில் நானின்று வீழ்ந்தேன்
உந்தன் கண்களில் கண்களை இழந்தேன்
பார்வைக்கு ஆறடி இருந்தேன்
உன்னை பார்த்ததும் ஓரடி குறைந்தேன்
Today I fell in love,
In your eyes, I lost my own eyes,
I was six feet tall to look at,
Upon seeing you, I shrank by a foot,
புன்னகை ஓவியமே போவது நீதியில்லை
நீ எனை நீங்கிவிட்டால் வாழ்க்கையில் பாதியில்லை
வந்து நில்லம்மா வார்த்தை சொல்லம்மா
O smiling painting, leaving like this is unjust,
If you leave me, half of my life won't remain,
Come and stand here, my dear, speak a word,
அந்த அன்புள்ள அன்னக்கிளி தன்னை தருமா
என்னை சந்திக்க ஆசைப்பட்டு ஜன்னல் விட்டு வருமா
Will that loving swan surrender itself?
Desiring to meet me, will it step out from the window?
முன்பு சந்தித்தாள் பின்பு கண்டித்தாள்
நேற்று தண்டித்தாள் இன்று மன்னித்தாள்.....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful romantic duet from the film 'Jadikketha Moodi' captures the tender exchanges between two lovers. The hero wonders if his beloved, whom he affectionately addresses as a 'loving swan', will overcome her hesitation and meet him. He recalls her past hot-and-cold behavior—scolding him one day and reflecting softly on him the next. The heroine responds in kind, admitting that her anger was merely a facade to hide her deep love.

Poetic devices
Metaphor (Uvamaanai)
“Antha anpulla annakkili thannai tharumaa”

Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navortchi)
“Oru paarvaiyil vidhai vanthathu, Maru parvaiyil mazhai vanthathu”
Describing love sprouting from a seed to rain in two glances exaggerates the sudden speed and emotional depth of falling in love.

“Munbu santhiththaal pinbu kandiththaal, Netru thandiththaal indru sinthithaal”
Contrasting pairs of time and action (Munbu/Pinbu, Netru/Indru, Santhiththaal/Kandiththaal) highlight the changing moods of the heroine.
