சோலக் கிளிகள் ரெண்டு
சுத்தி சுத்தி மகிழுதையா
கோலக் குயில்கள் ரெண்டு
கொஞ்சிக் கொஞ்சிக் குலவுதையா
வெட்டிக் கதைகள விட்டுப்புட்டு
கிட்ட வந்து தெனம் ஒட்டு ஒட்டு
சொன்னேன் அய்யா வெட்கம் விட்டு
Two grove parrots
Are revolving and rejoicing, my lord
Two beautiful cuckoos
Are caressing and cooing happily
Leave aside idle gossip
Come close and cling to me every day
I told you, my lord, shedding my shyness
சோலக் கிளிகள் ரெண்டு
சுத்தி சுத்தி மகிழுதையா
கோலக் குயில்கள் ரெண்டு
கொஞ்சிக் கொஞ்சிக் குலவுதையா
Two grove parrots
Are revolving and rejoicing, my lord
Two beautiful cuckoos
Are caressing and cooing happily
வத்தாத காள ஒண்ணு
கட்டி இழுக்க உன்னால ஆகுமா
எட்டாத காயை எண்ணி
எட்டிப் பறிக்க கொட்டாவி ஏனம்மா
A wild unyielding bull
Can you tie and pull it along?
Counting an unreachably high fruit
Why yawn trying to reach and pluck it, my dear girl?
நித்தம் நித்தம் சுத்தி வந்து
நித்திரையை விட்டேன் அய்யா
உத்த சனம் யாரும் இல்ல
உத்தமன தொட்டேன் அய்யா
Circling around every day
I lost my sleep, my lord
Having no close relatives
I touched you, a noble righteous man, my lord
அடி ராங்கி ராக்கம்மா
ஏன்டி ஏக்கமா ஒத்திக்கமா
Hey rebellious Raakkamma
Why are you yearning? Move aside!
சோலக் கிளிகள் ரெண்டு
சுத்தி சுத்தி மகிழுதையா
கோலக் குயில்கள் ரெண்டு
கொஞ்சிக் கொஞ்சிக் குலவுதையா
Two grove parrots
Are revolving and rejoicing, my lord
Two beautiful cuckoos
Are caressing and cooing happily
வெட்டிக் கதைகள தொட்டு தொட்டு
கிட்ட வந்து தெனம் ஒட்டும் சிட்டு
சொன்னதென்ன வெட்கம் கெட்டு
Touching upon idle stories
The little bird comes close every day to stick around
What did she say, losing her modesty?
சோலக் கிளிகள் ரெண்டு
சுத்தி சுத்தி மகிழுதம்மா
கோலக் குயில்கள் ரெண்டு
கொஞ்சிக் கொஞ்சிக் குலவுதம்மா
Two grove parrots
Are revolving and rejoicing, my lord
Two beautiful cuckoos
Are caressing and cooing happily
ஊரார சாட்சி வெச்சு
உம் மேல ஆச உண்டாச்சு கேளையா
பூ வாழை பந்தல் இட்டு
புத்தாடை கட்டி பூ மால போடையா
Keeping the villagers as witness
Desire for you bloomed, listen my lord
Setting up a pandal with flowers and plantains
Wearing new clothes, put on the flower garland
பெண்களுக்கு உள்ள குணம்
உன் கிட்டத்தான் ஒண்ணும் இல்ல
ஹொய் தள்ளி நில்லு பெண்ணே பெண்ணே
சொல்லிப்புட்டேன் குத்தம் இல்ல
The typical bashfulness of women
You don't have any of that at all
Hey, stand back, girl, girl
I have spoken clearly, no fault of mine
அட ராசா ராசையா
லேசா பேசையா வந்திடையா
Oh my king, my dear prince
Speak gently and come closer, my lord
சோலக் கிளிகள் ரெண்டு
சுத்தி சுத்தி மகிழுதம்மா
கோலக் குயில்கள் ரெண்டு
கொஞ்சிக் கொஞ்சிக் குலவுதம்மா

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Sola kiligal rendu from Koyil Kaalai (1993) is a playful rural duet depicting a romantic banter between a woman expressing her unabashed love and a man playfully teasing her persistence. The female lead compares their relationship to paired parrots and cuckoos in a grove, urging him to cast away idle talk and marry her in front of the village elders. The male lead responds lightheartedly, warning her that trying to win him over is like taming an untamed bull or reaching for high-hanging fruit, while playfully pointing out her lack of conventional female shyness.
