You don't need him, baby
He's no good for you, baby
Can't you see how he ignores you,
with your own eyes?
By this time,
he would already be scheming for another girl!
I didn't tell you all this
just to make you feel bad.
Think about it and let me know,
you already have my number.
You don't want him, no, no, no, no
You don't want him, no, no, no, no
Stuck in the Mount Road traffic,
except for all her mindless rambling,
I couldn't think of anything else;
she never loved me anyway.
Chorus: Oh dear!
I'm not even upset.
To talk about something important,
I invited her to a restaurant;
she just said she wasn't hungry.
Chorus: Oh dear!
Like a fruit slipping away
and falling right into the gutter,
don't fall into his lustful craze
and become his eleventh victim!
With just a single key,
Chorus: With just a single key,
he is trying to pick
so many locks!
Even if you hate me, it's fine,
it's fine,
it's fine, I'm only telling you this because I care.
You don't want him, no, no
He's no good for you, baby, no good for you.
Can't you see how little he respects you,
with your own eyes?
By this time,
he would already be hitting on another girl!
I didn't tell you all this
just to make you feel bad.
Think about it and let me know,
my number is with you,
yeah, you have it.
You don't want him, no, no
No, no
You don't want him, no, no
No, no

You don't want him, baby, no baby
You don't want him, no, no

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

'Avan Venam Baby' is a contemporary, catchy independent Tamil track produced by ofRo and written/performed alongside Asal Kolaar. The song delivers a direct warning to a girl regarding her toxic or unfaithful partner. Using urban Chennai slang (Gaana/street hip-hop blend), the narrator tries to open her eyes to how little her boyfriend respects or values her, pointing out his playboy tendencies and suggesting that she deserves far better.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Repetition (Anaphora)

“Avan venam venam venam venam”

The phrase 'Avan venam' (You don't need him) is repeatedly emphasized throughout the chorus to strongly drive home the warning.

Metaphor

“Avan orey saavila thorakka paakuraan pootungala nariyaa”

Comparing the guy trying to charm multiple women to using a single key trying to unlock many different locks ('Avan orey saavila thorakka paakuraan pootungala nariyaa').

Imagery & Local Allusion

“Mount road traffic le”

Referencing the intense 'Mount road traffic' to evoke a chaotic, real-life relatable scene in Chennai.
