சொல்லி விடவா
சொல்லி விடவா ஆ
உண்மை முழுதும்
சொல்லி விடவா
Shall I reveal it?
Shall I reveal it...
The whole truth,
Shall I reveal it...
விழியிலே
தேக்கிய பாஷைகளை
விரலிலே அடக்கிய
ஆசைகளை நெஞ்சிலே
பூட்டிய ஓசைகளை
சொல்லிவிடவா ஆ
The languages gathered in the eyes,
The desires contained within fingers,
The sounds locked inside the heart,
Shall I reveal it...
நெஞ்சே அதை
சொல்ல விடு நெஞ்சே
வழி அடைப்பது ஏன்
மொழி தடுப்பது ஏன்
என்னை கிறுக்கன்
ஆக்காதே அதை
மறைக்க கூடாதே
Oh heart...
Let me speak it, oh heart.
Why block the path?
Why restrain the words?
Do not make me crazy.
It should not be hidden.
தோழன் என வேடம்
தோளில் அது பாரம் என்னுளே
வானம் என தோன்றிடும்
ஒன்றினை சொல்லிடவா
Disguised as a friend,
That burden rests on the shoulders.
Like a vast sky within me,
Shall I tell of that which arises?
கல்லாய் என்
தோற்றம் உள்ளே நீர்
ஓட்டம் என் உள்ளே
ஆழியான பொங்கிடும்
ஒன்றினை சொல்லிடவா
My appearance is like a stone,
Yet water flows within.
Deep like an ocean inside me,
Shall I tell of that which surges?
மௌன சாலை
கடந்து சத்தம் இட்டு
யாவும் சொல்லிவிடவா
Crossing the silent path,
Shall I make noise and tell everything?
நெஞ்சே அதை
சொல்ல விடு நெஞ்சே
வழி அடைப்பது ஏன்
மொழி தடுப்பது ஏன்
என்னை கிறுக்கன்
ஆக்காதே அதை
மறைக்க கூடாதே
Oh heart...
Let me speak it, oh heart.
Why block the path?
Why restrain the words?
Do not make me crazy.
It should not be hidden.
சொல்லிவிடவா
சொல்லிவிடவா
சொல்லிவிடவா
Shall I reveal it...
Shall I reveal it...
Shall I reveal it...
தாகம் அவன்
கண்ணில் மேகம் நான்
விண்ணில் நான் சொற்கள்
பொழிகையிலே ஆவி
என்றாகியே மறைவது ஏன்
Thirst in his eyes,
I am a cloud in the sky.
As I rain words down,
Why does it dissolve into steam and disappear?
தீயாய் அவள்
முன்னே பூவோ என்
பின்னே கை நீட்டி
தருகையிலே காற்றினில்
பூ அது கரைவது ஏன்
Fire in front of her,
Flowers behind me.
When I reach out my hand to give,
Why does that flower dissolve into the wind?
இன்று சொல்லிவிடவா
ஜென்மம் சில தாண்டி
சொல்லிவிடவா
Shall I reveal it today,
Transcending a few lifetimes?
Shall I reveal it...
நெஞ்சே அதை
சொல்ல விடு நெஞ்சே
வழி அடைப்பது ஏன்
மொழி தடுப்பது ஏன்
என்னை கிறுக்கி
ஆக்காதே அதை
மறைக்க கூடாதே
Oh heart...
Let me speak it, oh heart.
Why block the path?
Why restrain the words?
Do not make me a mad woman.
It should not be hidden.
சொல்லிவிடவா
சொல்லிவிடவா உண்மை
முழுதும் சொல்லி விடவா
Shall I reveal it...
Shall I reveal it...
The whole truth,
Shall I reveal it...
வெளியிலும்
போர்க்கள பூமியடா
மனதுமே போர்க்களம்
ஆனதடா வார்த்தைகள்
என்னை கொல்லுதுடா
சொல்லிவிடவா
Outside is a battlefield, my friend,
The mind too has become a battlefield.
Unspoken words are killing me,
Shall I reveal it...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Sollividava' captures the poignant emotional struggle of a person yearning to confess unsaid love and hidden truths. The narrator wrestles with their own heart, which holds back words out of fear or constraint, even while maintaining a facade of mere friendship. Through vivid imagery of clouds, fire, oceans, and battlefields, the lyrics portray the torment of keeping deep feelings suppressed inside. Ultimately, the song expresses a desperate plea to break the silence and reveal the complete truth. The internal battle of unspoken feelings mirror an external battlefield, highlighting how staying silent causes pain that threatens to consume the narrator's entire world.
