Don't tell, if anyone asks, don't tell, hey!
Don't tell, if anyone asks, don't tell!
Behind closed doors lies the way to heaven.
If the two of us understand each other, a hundred ways will help us.
A lesson, a bedroom lesson; it will sing sweet notes of pleasure.
Don't tell, if anyone asks, don't tell, hey!
Hey, don't tell, if anyone asks, don't tell!
Behind closed doors lies the way to heaven.
If the two of us understand each other, a hundred ways will help us.
A lesson, a bedroom lesson; it will sing sweet notes of pleasure.
This is the time when the world longs to rest,
The moment when pulse and veins race with passion.
Words from the mouth aren't needed right now,
There is no time to argue now.
The meal cooked hot and fresh
Shouldn't needlessly go cold.
The meal cooked hot and fresh
Shouldn't needlessly go cold.
Can hunger be satisfied without setting down the leaf?
Without satisfying this hunger, can true joy ever rise? Shh, hey...
Don't tell, if anyone asks, don't tell, haan!
Hey, don't tell, if anyone asks, don't tell!
Behind closed doors lies the way to heaven.
If the two of us understand each other, a hundred ways will help us.
A lesson, a bedroom lesson; it will sing sweet notes of pleasure.
When the cotton pillow begs and calls us close,
How can there be any sleep for this young girl?
Let the clothes slip away softly,
Let flower-like bodies tell tales of delight.
We shouldn't check the almanac right now,
Joy won't arrive if we keep staying far apart.
We shouldn't check the almanac right now,
Joy won't arrive if we keep staying far apart.
Like two entwined vines,
Let our bodies play,
Until early dawn, let the banner of love fly high... ha!
Don't tell, if anyone asks, don't tell, haan!
Hey, don't tell, if anyone asks, don't tell!
Behind closed doors lies the way to heaven.
If the two of us understand each other, a hundred ways will help us.
A lesson, a bedroom lesson; it will sing sweet notes of pleasure.
Don't tell if anyone asks, haha... hey... ha!
Don't tell, if anyone asks, don't tell... mmm...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

'Sollaathae Yaarum Kettaal' is a sensual romantic duet from the 1989 movie Sakalakala Sambandhi. The song expresses the intimate and secret joys of newlyweds behind closed doors. It playfully urges privacy ('don't tell anyone'), describing how love and mutual understanding open up pathways to heavenly delight without the need for unnecessary words, arguments, or delays. Through poetic metaphors like hot food that shouldn't be allowed to go cold and cotton pillows beckoning the lovers, the lyricist Idhaya Chandran conveys passion and desire. The lovers intertwine like vines through the night until dawn, celebrating their romantic union away from the eyes of the world.

“Soodaaga aakki vechcha sappaadu / Veenaaga aari poa koodathu”

“Iru kodi polavae / Udal vilaiyaadattum”

The lovers' bodies intertwining are explicitly compared using 'polavae' to two creepers or vines weaving together.
