என்ன நானே இப்பொது தானே
மெய்யாகவே பாக்குறேன்
உன்ன நானும் எண்ணாததால
என் பேச்ச நான் கேக்குறேன்
Only now do I truly see...
...my real self.
Since I stopped thinking about you,
I finally listen to my own voice.
மனசுல நீதான் நீங்கியதால
தாய் தந்தையா நெனச்சேன்
ஒரு வரி கூட ஞாபகம் இல்ல
உன் ஏட்ட நான் கிழிச்சேன்
ஆனா இதுதான் நிரந்தரமா
Since you left my heart,
I thought of my mother and father.
I do not remember a single line;
I tore up your notebook.
But is this state really permanent?

I wept deep within because of you.
உன்ன பாத்து தூங்காத நானும்
ஒய்யாரமா தூங்குவேன்
ஒத்த ஆளா ஆனாலும் கூட
கெத்தாக நான் வாழுவேன்
I who could not sleep while staring at you,
Will now sleep with total ease.
Even if I end up all alone,
I will live with pride and dignity.
கனவுல கூட நீ வரமாட்டா
உன் பேர நான் மறப்பேன்
தெருவுல நின்னா ஆயிரம் பொண்ணு
சந்தோஷமா ரசிப்பேன்
ஆனா இதுதான் நடந்திடுமா
You won't even enter my dreams,
I will completely forget your name.
There are a thousand women in the street,
I will happily admire them.
But will any of this actually happen?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Ennatha Solla from the movie Kolanji (2019) is a heartfelt song capturing the emotional distress and coping mechanism of a lover facing heartbreak. The protagonist reflects on how a once-peaceful, dove-like relationship disintegrated under the unpredictable game of life. To move forward, he tries to reclaim his identity, reconnect with family, tear up old love notes, and vow to live independently with style and pride. However, despite these declarations of moving on, he repeatedly questions if this emotional strength is real or permanent, returning back to the refrain of silent suffering.

Anaphora / Refrain
“Ennatha solla / Naan unnaala aluthen ulla”

Simile
“Like a pair of dove / We choose to live”

Rhetorical Question
“Aanaa idhuthan nirantharamaa”
