Maasu Engira Masilamani’s Naan Aval Illai Tamil Lyrics English Translation
Madhan Karky writes, ‘In the heart I already gave to her, I hesitate to place you there.’ This line captures the struggle of moving on while holding onto the past. The wordsmith uses the metaphor of a cloud turning into a sky to describe how new love slowly takes over the heart.
Naan Aval Illai Naan Aval IllaiI’m not her, I am not her.
Azhagilum GunathilumIn beauty or in character,
Ethilum Naan Aval IllaiIn any way, I’m nothing like her.
Un Mele Kadhal KondenI’ve fallen in love with you.
Un Vanathil Rendam NilavaiAs a second moon in your sky,
Ennai Pooka Seivaya SeivayaWill you let me bloom? Will you let me bloom?
Aval Enge Vittu PonaloRight where she left off,
Ange ThodangiStarting from there,
Unai Naan Kadhal SeiveneI will love you.
Anal Anbe Anal AnbeBut my love, but my love,
Avalukku Kodutha IdhayathileIn the heart I already gave to her,
Unai Veithu Parka ThayangugirenI hesitate to place you there.
Anal Anbe Anal AnbeBut my love, but my love,
Aval Vittu Parantha UlagathileIn the world she flew away from,
Unnoda Paraka MuyalugirenI’m trying to fly with you.

Oru Mugilai Nee ThondrinaiYou appeared like a cloud.
Methuvaga En VanamaiSlowly, becoming my sky,
Virinthayadi En NenjileYou expanded within my heart.
En Boomiyil Or ChediyaiIn my earth, like a plant,

Thiranthen PenneI’ve opened myself up, girl.
Iruloodu Netrai Naan ThedinenI was searching for yesterday in the darkness,
Ethirkala Deepam KaatinaiBut you showed me the lamp of the future.
Anal Anbe Anal AnbeBut my love, but my love,
Avalukku Kodutha IdhayathileIn the heart I already gave to her,
Unai Veithu Parka Unai Veithu ParkaTo place you there and see, to place you there and see…
Va Ingu Naan SollumunneCome here… before I could speak,
En Pillaiku Thayaga Anayene AndruYou embraced my child like a mother that day.
Yen Endru Naan Ketkum MunneBefore I could even ask why,
Nee En Kadhin Orathil Muthathil SonnayadiYou answered with a kiss on the edge of my ear.
Madi Methu KidanthaiYou lay on my lap,
Thalai KothinaiRuffling my hair,
Un Kadhalal En Kaayam AatrinaiWith your love, you healed my wounds.
