Ennatha solla

Naan unnaala aluthen ulla

Verenna naan solla

Ennatha solla

Naan unnaala aluthen ulla

Verenna naan solluven

Theriyala

Ennatha solla

Naan unnaala aluthen ulla

U and me

Like a pair of dove

We choose to live

In the shower of love

But life’s a game

In the course of time

Disaster springs

And tragedy strikes

Hoo ooo hooo ooooo oooo

Enna naanae ippothu thaanae

Meiyagavae paakkuren

Unna naanum ennaathathaala

En pecha naan kekkuren

Manasula neethaan neengiyathaala

Thaai thanthaiya nenachen

Oru vari kooda gnyabagam illa

Un yetta naan kilichen

Aanaa idhuthan nirantharamaa

Ennatha solla

Naan unnaala aluthen ulla

Unna paathu thoongaatha naanum

Oiyaaramaa thoonguven

Oththa aalaa aanaalum kooda

Gethaaga naan vaazhuven

Kanavula kuda nee varamaata

Un pera naa marappen

Theruvula ninna aayiram ponnu

Santhosamaaa rasippen

Aanaa edhuthaan nadanthidumaa

Ennatha solla

Naan unnaala aluthen ulla

Verenna naan solluven

Theriyala

What is there to say?

I cried inside because of you.

What else can I say?

What is there to say?

I cried inside because of you.

What else can I say?

I don't know.

What is there to say?

I cried inside because of you.

You and me,

like a pair of doves,

we chose to live

in a shower of love.

But life's a game;

in the course of time,

disaster springs

and tragedy strikes.

Hoo ooo hoo oooo ooo

Only now do I

truly see myself.

Since I stopped thinking of you,

I listen to my own voice.

Since you are gone from my heart,

I thought of my parents.

Not even a single line remains in memory;

I tore up your pages.

But is this truly permanent?

What is there to say?

I cried inside because of you.

I, who stayed awake looking at you,

will now sleep peacefully.

Even if I am left all alone,

I will live with pride.

You won't even appear in my dreams;

I will forget your name.

There are a thousand girls on the street;

I will happily admire them.

But will any of this really happen?

What is there to say?

I cried inside because of you.

What else can I say?

I don't know.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

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.

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Etukai (Second Letter Rhyme)

“Enna naanae ippothu thaanae / Unna naanum ennaathathaala”

In lines 19 and 21 ('Enna naanae' and 'Unna naanum'), the second consonant 'nna' rhymes across adjacent lines, maintaining standard Tamil prosody.

Anaphora / Refrain

“Ennatha solla / Naan unnaala aluthen ulla”

The thematic phrase 'Ennatha solla / Naan unnaala aluthen ulla' is repeated multiple times to anchor the emotional core of hidden grief.

Simile

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

Direct comparison of the lovers to a pair of doves living in a shower of love, emphasizing purity and togetherness before the heartbreak.

Rhetorical Question

“Aanaa idhuthan nirantharamaa”

The lines 'Aanaa idhuthan nirantharamaa' and 'Aanaa edhuthaan nadanthidumaa' pose rhetorical self-doubts, showing the underlying vulnerability behind the protagonist's claims of moving on.
