சொர்க்கத்தை பார்க்கிறேன் உன்னிடம்
இன்பத்தை கொண்டு வா என்னிடம்
மாணிக்கத் தேரே நீ மெதுவாகச் செல்லு
காணிக்கை எது வேண்டும் காதோட சொல்லு
I see heaven in you
Bring joy to me
O ruby chariot, move slowly
Whisper in my ear what offering you desire
சொர்க்கத்தை பார்க்கலாம் என்னிடம்
சொல்லாமல் சொல்லவா உன்னிடம்
பூமேனி வாடாமல் மெதுவாக தழுவு
நீ கொண்ட எண்ணத்தை கன்னத்தில் எழுது
We can see heaven in me
Come to convey feelings without speaking words
Gently embrace so the flower-like body does not wither
Write your inner thoughts upon my cheek
சொர்க்கத்தை பார்க்கலாம் என்னிடம்
சொல்லாமல் சொல்லவா உன்னிடம்
We can see heaven in me
Come to convey feelings without speaking words
பச்சைக்கிளி கொத்தாமல் பழம் எதற்கு
இச்சைப்படி கொஞ்சாமல் அழகு எதற்கு
ஆ......ஆ......ஆ.....
ஹே.......ஹே......
What is the purpose of a fruit if the green parrot doesn't peck at it?
What is the purpose of beauty if it isn't caressed as desired?
Female: Aa..aa..aa..
Male: Hae..hae
உத்தரவு இல்லாமல் தொடுவதென்ன
பத்து விரல் லேசாக படுவதென்ன
ஆசை வேகம்...
நாளை தீரும்..
அதற்குள் அவசரம் வா வா வா
Why touch without permission?
Why let ten fingers lightly brush against me?
Male: It is the speed of desire
Female: It will subside tomorrow
Male: Hurry before that, come, come, come
சொர்க்கத்தை பார்க்கலாம் என்னிடம்
சொல்லாமல் சொல்லவா உன்னிடம்
We can see heaven in me
Come to convey feelings without speaking words
தக்கபடி கல்யாணம் நடக்கட்டுமே
அந்தபுர சந்தோசம் கிடைக்கட்டுமே
லா......லா....
லாலாலாலா............
Let the wedding take place as appropriate
Let the bliss of the royal bedchamber be attained
Male: Laa..lalalalaa..laa
Female: Lalalala…
ஒத்திகை இந்நேரம் நடக்கட்டுமே
ஒன்றிரெண்டு முன்னாடி விளங்கட்டுமே
மயங்கும் போது...
மௌனம் ஏது...
எனக்கு புரிந்தது நீ...நீ...நீ ......
Let the rehearsal happen right now
Let a couple of things be understood beforehand
Female: When swooning in passion
Male: Where is the place for silence?
Female: I too understood, it is you, you, you
சொர்க்கத்தை பார்க்கிறேன் உன்னிடம்
இன்பத்தை கொண்டு வா என்னிடம்
மாணிக்கத் தேரே நீ மெதுவாகச் செல்லு
காணிக்கை எது வேண்டும் காதோட சொல்லு
I see heaven in you

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Sorgathai Parkkiren Unnidam' is a sensual romantic duet from the 1978 Tamil film 'Aval Oru Athisayam', sung by S. P. Balasubrahmanyam and Vani Jayaram, with music composed by K. Vijaya Baskar and lyrics penned by Vaali. The song depicts an intimate conversation between two lovers who express their intense longing and romance, exchanging poetic metaphors about intimacy, beauty, and wedded bliss. Vaali weaves rich poetic tropes—comparing the female form to a ruby chariot and a ripe fruit awaiting a parrot's peck—to craft a refined yet playful love dialogue between the couple as they eagerly anticipate union.

“Pachaikili kothaamal pazham edharkku / Ichaippadi konjaamal azhagu edharkku”

“Utharavu illamal thoduvadhenna / Pathu viral lesaaga paduvadhenna”
The Tamil poetic rhythm relies on second-letter rhyming (Edhugai) like 'Pachaikili' and 'Ichaippadi', as well as 'Utharavu' and 'Pathu'.
