சொல்லி தரவா சொல்லி தரவா சொல்லி தரவா
இடை மூடும் மேலாடை தடை அல்லவா
தடை போடும் பெண்மைக்கு விடை சொல்லவா
விடை சொல்லும் ஒரு பாடம் நான் சொல்லவா
நான் சொல்லும் புது பாடம் சுவை அல்லவா
Shall I teach you? Shall I teach you? Shall I teach you?
Isn't the upper garment covering your waist an obstacle?
Shall I give an answer to the womanhood that creates obstacles?
Shall I teach a lesson that provides the answer?
Isn't the new lesson I teach sweet and enjoyable?
சொல்லி தரவா சொல்லி தரவா.....ஆ.....
Shall I teach you? Shall I teach you? Shall I teach you?
சில்லென்று காற்றே நீ வழிப் போகும் நேரம்
நில்லென்று நான் கூற ஏன் இந்த நாணம்
சொல்லித் தெரியாத கலை இன்று கண்டேன்
சொல்லத் தெரியாத சிலையாகி நின்றேன்
Oh cool breeze, as you pass along the path
Why this shyness when I ask you to stop?
Female: Today I discovered an art that cannot be explained in words
I stood transfixed like an indescribable statue
கண்மணி உந்தன் கருவிழி பேசும்
கதைகள் புரிகிறது
வெண்பனி தூவும் விடியல் வரையில்
அதுவும் தொடர்கிறது
My darling, the stories spoken by your dark eyes
Are well understood by me
Until the dawn that sprinkles white snow
That too continues
சொல்லித் தரவா.....
ம்.....ம்.....ம்....
சொல்லித்தரவா
இடை மூடும் மேலாடை துணை அல்லவா
துணை சேர என் நாணம் தடை அல்லவா
தடை சொல்லும் பெண்ணுக்கு வழி சொல்லவா
வழி சொல்லும் உன் பாடம் புதிதல்லவா
Shall I teach you...
Female: Mm...mm...mmm
Male: Shall I teach you...
Female: Isn't the garment draped over the waist a companion?
Isn't my shyness an obstacle to uniting together?
Shall I show the way to the woman who speaks of obstacles?
Isn't your lesson showing the way something brand new?
சொல்லித் தரவா.....
ம்.....ம்.....ம்....
சொல்லித்தரவா
Shall I teach you...
Female: Mm...mm...mmm
Male: Shall I teach you...
இரவென்றும் பகலென்றும் அறியாத உறவு
யார் இங்கு தந்தாலும் சுகம் தானே வரவு
இன்னும் ஏன் இங்கு தடை மீற தயக்கம்
இல்லை வேறெங்கும் இதை மீறும் மயக்கம்
A relationship that knows no distinction between night and day
Whoever gives it here, pleasure is the only income
Male: Why is there still hesitation to cross the limits here?
Nowhere else is there an infatuation surpassing this
அச்சம் நாணம் அறிந்தது புரிந்தது
காதல் விளையாட்டு
மிச்சம் மீதி இருந்ததும் மறைந்தது
காமன் சொல் கேட்டு.........
Fear and shyness have been known and understood
This game of love
Whatever little remained has also vanished
Listening to the words of the god of love...
சொல்லி தரவா சொல்லி தரவா
இடை மூடும் மேலாடை தடை அல்லவா
தடை போடும் பெண்மைக்கு விடை சொல்லவா
விடை சொல்லும் ஒரு பாடம் நான் சொல்லவா
நான் சொல்லும் புது பாடம் சுவை அல்லவா

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
"Solli Tharavaa" from Uzhavan Magan (1987) is a sensual romantic duet that captures the playful courtship and passion between lovers. The male protagonist rhythmically teases his partner, offering to teach her the subtle arts of love while gently coaxing her to cast aside her hesitation and shyness. He frames intimacy as a delightful, sweet lesson waiting to be explored. The female protagonist responds with equal fervor, describing how his presence leaves her spellbound like a statue and acknowledging the non-verbal expressions spoken through her eyes. Set against poetic imagery of cool breezes and starry nights leading to frosty dawns, the song expresses how the boundaries of fear and bashfulness melt away under the intoxicating influence of Kaaman (the god of love).
