It is the hour when the world longs to rest.
It is the time when nerves and pulse yearn to surge.
Spoken words are not needed right now.
There is no time left to argue now.

பஞ்சு தலையணை கெஞ்சி அழைக்கிற போது
சின்னஞ்சிறுக்கு நித்திரை என்பது ஏது
நூலாடை மெல்ல வெளியேறட்டும்
பூமேனி இன்பக் கதப் பேசட்டும்
When the soft cotton pillow begs and summons,
How can there be any sleep for the young girl?
Let the woven clothes gently slide away.
Let the flower-like body speak tales of bliss.
பஞ்சாங்கம் பாக்க இப்ப கூடாது
சந்தோஷம் தள்ளி நின்னா வாராது

One shouldn't consult auspicious almanacs right now.
Happiness will not arrive if you stand far away.

அதிகாலை வரை காமன் கொடி ஏறட்டும்....ஹாஹ்ஹ்
Like two intertwining vines,
Let the bodies interplay.
Until early morning, let Cupid's flag soar high... haahh.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'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”

Personification
“Panju thalaiyanai kenji azhaikkira pothu”
The pillow is given human-like attributes of begging and inviting the lovers to rest and indulge in romance.
Simile (Uvamai)
“Iru kodi polavae / Udal vilaiyaadattum”
The lovers' bodies intertwining are explicitly compared using 'polavae' to two creepers or vines weaving together.

“Paadam palliyarai paadam paadum inba suram paadum”
Repetition of the 'Pa' consonant sound across consecutive words creates a rhythmic and melodious cadence.
