சொல்லாமலே
கண்முன் தோன்றினாய்
நீங்காமலே நெஞ்சில்
புதைந்ததே
Without speaking a word,
You appeared before my eyes.
Without leaving,
It got buried in my heart.
உன்னை கண்டேன்
காதல் கொண்டேன் தூக்கம்
இழந்தேன் என்னை மறந்தேன்
I saw you,
I fell in love,
I lost my sleep,
I forgot myself.
தேடும் உறவே
நொடியில் கலந்தாய்
உள்ளம் உன்னை
மறந்திடுமா உன்னில்
உயிரை துளைத்தேன்
Oh relation I was searching for,
You merged with me in a second.
Will my heart ever forget you?
I lost my soul in you.
சொல்லாமலே
கண்முன் தோன்றினாய்
நீங்காமலே நெஞ்சில்
புதைந்ததே
Without speaking a word,
You appeared before my eyes.
Without leaving,
It got buried in my heart.
இது கனவா
நிஜமா எண்ணம்
அலைமோதுதே
எதுவரையில் எனக்கிந்த
உயிர் வேதனை
Is this a dream or reality?
My thoughts are raging like waves.
Until when do I have this
Soul-piercing pain?
என்னை
அறியாமலே கால்கள்
நடை போடுதே வலி
கூட இந்நேரம் சுகமாகுதே
Without my knowledge,
My feet keep walking.
Even pain at this moment
Turns into pleasure.
உன் காலடியில்
கிடப்பது மணலில்லை
என் மனம்தான் என்னை
தவிர உந்தன் சுவாசத்தை
யார் அறிவார்
Beneath your feet...
What lies is not sand,
It is my heart.
Except for me,
Who knows your breath?
தூரம் சென்றபின்
இதயம் சொன்னது
இதுதான் காதலா
After moving away,
My heart told me,
Is this what love is?
சொல்லாமலே
கண்முன் தோன்றினாய்
நீங்காமலே நெஞ்சில்
புதைந்ததே
Without speaking a word,
You appeared before my eyes.
Without leaving,
It got buried in my heart.
நீ முதலா
முடிவா உள்ளம்
தடம் மாறுதே
முடிவல்லா நிலையென்று
உன்னை பார்க்கிறேன்
Are you the beginning or the end?
My heart strays off path.
As an endless state,
I look at you.
விடை தெரியாமலே
காதலில் கலந்தேனடி
இது என்ன மாயங்கள்
புதிரானதே
Without knowing the answer,
I dissolved in love, my dear.
What kind of magic is this?
It has become a puzzle,
என் வாழ்க்கையிலே
காதலை உணர்ந்தது
உன்னிடம்தான்
In my life...
Realizing true love
Was only through you.
என் உணர்வுக்கு
நீ நிழல் தந்த தாய்மையும்
நீயல்லவா
To my emotions, you...
Are the motherly care providing shade,
Aren't you?
தூரம் சென்றபின்
இதயம் சொன்னது
இதுதான் காதலா
After moving away,
My heart told me,
Is this what love is?
சொல்லாமலே
கண்முன் தோன்றினாய்
நீங்காமலே நெஞ்சில்
புதைந்ததே
Without speaking a word,
You appeared before my eyes.
Without leaving,
It got buried in my heart.
உன்னை கண்டேன்
காதல் கொண்டேன் தூக்கம்
இழந்தேன் என்னை மறந்தேன்
I saw you,
I fell in love,
I lost my sleep,
I forgot myself.
தேடும் உறவே
நொடியில் கலந்தாய்
உள்ளம் உன்னை
மறந்திடுமா உன்னில்
உயிரை துளைத்தேன்
Oh relation I was searching for,
You merged with me in a second.
Will my heart ever forget you?
I lost my soul in you.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Sollaamalae' (or 'Uyirai Tholaithen') expresses the overwhelming surge of emotions experienced when falling deeply in love unexpectedly. The protagonist describes how the beloved entered his life silently and took complete possession of his heart and mind, making him lose his sleep, identity, and sense of self in the sweetest way possible. The lyrics capture the surreal confusion of love, where pain turns into pleasure, reality feels like a dream, and the beloved becomes a nurturing, motherly presence that anchors his entire existence.
