சொல்லாமலே
சொல்லாமலே மொழியை
மறந்தேனே எண்ணாமலே
எண்ணாமலே உயிரை
பிரிந்தேனே ஹோ ஹோ
ஹோ
Without speaking, without speaking,
I forgot my own speech.
Without thinking, without thinking,
I separated from my soul.
சொல்லாமலே
சொல்லாமலே மொழியை
மறந்தேனே எண்ணாமலே
எண்ணாமலே உயிரை
பிரிந்தேனே
Without speaking, without speaking,
I forgot my own speech.
Without thinking, without thinking,
I separated from my soul.
மனது கோலம்
இடும் வேளையிலே
மழையாய் பொழியும்
விதியாலே
At the moment when the mind
Draws beautiful patterns,
Like rain that pours down,
Destiny arrives.
இது கால்
இல்லாமல் போகும்
பாதை வாழ்வின்
தூரம் தெரியாதே
This path goes on
Without feet to tread,
The full distance of life
Remains unknown....
புயல் வீசும்
பொழுதினிலே பொறி
போல சிதறுவதேன்
When a raging storm
Blowing through,
Like tiny sparks,
Why do we scatter?
ஒரு முறை
வாழும் உலகினிலே
தவணையில் நாளும்
உதிர்வது ஏன் உறவுகள்
வேண்டி தொடங்குவதேன்
பிரிவுகள் தீண்ட வருந்துவதேன்
இறுதியில் நானும் அடங்குவதேன்
கண்ணீரில்
In a world where we live
Just once,
In daily installments,
Why do we wither away?
Seeking relationships,
Why do we begin?
When separations touch us,
Why do we suffer?
In the end, why do I
Subside... in tears...
சொல்லாமலே
சொல்லாமலே மொழியை
மறந்தேனே எண்ணாமலே
எண்ணாமலே உயிரை
பிரிந்தேனே
Without speaking, without speaking,
I forgot my own speech.
Without thinking, without thinking,
I separated from my soul.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Sollamalae is a poignant song that explores themes of loss, fate, and the pain of human attachments. The lyricist delves into the sorrow of losing one's voice and inner self due to unexpressed feelings. Life is depicted as a journey through an unknown path where human desires, likened to delicate kolam patterns, are suddenly washed away by the unexpected rain of destiny. The song questions the very cycle of life, asking why humans enter into relationships only to endure the agony of separation, ultimately leaving the protagonist submerged in tears.

Human lives thrown into chaos by life's trials are compared to sparks ('pori') scattering during a storm.
Rhetorical Question
