Junior, Junior, Junior!
Male: Yes, Boss!
With two hearts already bound
in married life,
why do you lose your senses stepping in between?
A tender woman is a puppet in two men's hands—
why are you still longing for her?
You are a reed swaying on the shore,
A reed... you are! Hehehehe
You are a reed swaying on the shore,
seeking to claim kinship with the river.
Seeing a sculpted statue smile,
feeling shy, can't a rubber doll
fall in love or something?
He is just a little boy, quite young of age...
Is a doll lacking in feelings or a heart?
If you bring them together, won't they unite?
Hahaha
Junior, Junior, Junior!
With two hearts already bound
in married life,
why do you lose your senses stepping in between?
Like thirst standing beside the ocean,
that is what your love is, my boy!
A melody belonging to someone else—
singing it yourself is a sin, my boy!
Is it? It is a rare melody (Apoorva Raagam)!
Male: Hahaha
Like thirst standing beside the ocean,
that is what your love is, my boy!
A melody belonging to someone else—
singing it yourself is a sin, my boy!
You may say a field needs rainclouds,
but do you know what she truly needs?
You may say a field needs rainclouds,
but do you know what she truly needs?
Setting a tune upon hearing a song,
feeling thirsty upon seeing water,
one shouldn't worry about sins and taboos!
No, it's bad!
Male: But I am mad!
When a poor, unfortunate soul
asks a silent, unspoken question,
desire shouldn't betray it!
Hahahaha
What... kaba kaba kaba... ha!
Junior!
Mmm...
Junior, Junior, Junior!
With two hearts already bound
in married life,
why do you lose your senses stepping in between?
In the scorching month of Chithirai (summer),
you pine away searching for rain.
In the chilly month of Margazhi (winter),
you run around searching for warmth.
Boss, love has no season,
or even reason!
Male: Shut up!
In the scorching month of Chithirai (summer),
you pine away searching for rain.
In the chilly month of Margazhi (winter),
you run around searching for warmth.
To watch the sunrise, towards the west
you yearn and gaze every single day.
To watch the sunrise, towards the west
you yearn and gaze every single day.
For the one who wins, it is the wedding month of Aippasi,
but if you are fooled, it is April Fool's!
Can't you tell how this story ends?
It is highly idiotic!
Male: No, Boss... only romantic!
Female: Hahaha
The sweet doll sings a song,
and a child's heart laughs upon hearing it.
Can't we tell the ending and laugh?
Hahaha
Hahaha
Can't we tell the ending and laugh?
Can't we tell the ending and laugh?
With two hearts already bound
in married life,
why do you lose your senses stepping in between?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Junior Junior from the 1977 film Avargal is a unique narrative track featuring a ventriloquist act performed by Janardhan (Kamal Haasan) with his puppet Junior. Through an entertaining yet biting dialogue, the puppet acts as Janardhan's alter-ego and moral conscience, pointing out the complications of loving a woman caught in marital dilemma and emotional turmoil.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Metaphor (Uvamai / Uruvagam)

Karaiyinil aadum naanalae nee

Compares the protagonist's confused state to a reed swaying helplessly on a riverbank.

Paradox (Muran)

Kadarkarai thaagam idhu thaan unthan kaadhal adaa

Compares his futile love to standing at a seashore seeking fresh drinking water.

Contrast (Muran)

Chithirai maadham mazhaiyai thedi vaadugindraai Maargazhi maadham veyilai thedi odugindraai

Contrasts searching for rain during peak summer (Chithirai) and looking for warmth during winter (Maargazhi) to highlight misaligned desires.

Etukai (Second letter rhyme)

Adainjavanukku aipasi maasam Emaanthaalo april maasam

The second letter 'da' rhymes between Adainjavanukku and Emaanthaalo to create dynamic rhythm.

Viswanathan scored the music, with playback singers S. P. Balasubrahmanyam and L. R. Eswari delivering the distinct voices of the ventriloquist and the puppet.
