Avan jaadai kaattala

Avan kooda nadakkala
Naan polamba thodangitten
Avan thirumbi paakala

Avan manasu puriyala
Naan mayanga thodangitten
Avan kanna kaattala
Naan karaiya thodangitten
Avan kaiya pudikka thaan
Naan kanavu kandutten….

He stood within speaking distance,
yet I fell into silent love.
Will he feel it? Ah... oh...
Oh... ohooo... oh...
He didn't look at me and smile,
yet I began to fly.
He didn't talk and laugh,
yet I started to melt.
He gave me no sign,
yet I began to fall for him.
He didn't walk with me,
yet I began to murmur and yearn.
He didn't look back,
yet I began to desire him.
I didn't understand his heart,
yet I began to swoon.
He didn't catch my eye,
yet I began to dissolve.
Just to hold his hand,
I have already dreamed...
When I look at him,
I jump with joy like a child.
When he looks at me,
I blush with joy like a young woman.
When I look at him,
I jump with joy like a child.
When he looks at me,
I blush with joy like a young woman.
Ohooo... oo... oo...
He didn't look at me and smile,
yet I began to fly.
He didn't talk and laugh,
yet I started to melt.
He gave me no sign,
yet I began to fall for him.
He didn't walk with me,
yet I began to murmur and yearn.
I spoke and smiled through my eyes,
I gathered up all my desires,
I danced and leaped wildly,
all because of you.
My heart beat fast inside my chest,
I stayed close to my shadow and smiled,
I wanted to say so many things,
and saying them over and over, I lost myself.
Without watching the clock,
I wait for you.
Even if we part for a moment,
I melt with a heavy heart.
To leave my soul and enter yours,
I am waiting for the day and date.
We haven't walked together, we haven't hugged,
yet deep in my heart, I have begun to yearn.
I understand nothing... I don't know how to say it...
all kinds of thoughts have started crossing my mind.
We haven't walked together, we haven't hugged,
yet deep in my heart, I have begun to yearn.
I understand nothing... I don't know how to say it...
all kinds of thoughts have started crossing my mind.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song portrays the sweet, overwhelming intensity of unspoken, one-sided love experienced by a young woman. Even though the man she adores makes no explicit gestures, glances, or conversation toward her, her heart spontaneously reacts with overwhelming joy and romantic vulnerability. She feels like a joyful child when looking at him, yet feels like a mature woman when his eyes briefly land on her.

Anaphora / Parallelism

Repetition of the 'Avan...' and 'Naan...' sentence structure across multiple consecutive lines to establish rhythmic harmony.
