Vandana Srinivasan’s ‘Ennatha Naa’ from the ‘Sembi’ album uses Prabhu Solomon’s lyrics and Nivas K Prasanna’s composition to frame a confession of broken trust. The sparse musical arrangement amplifies the vocal tension between guilt and hope.

Ennatha Naa
Nivas K Prasanna | Vandana Srinivasan • From “Sembi”
Sembi’s Ennatha Naa Tamil Lyrics English Translation
Prabhu Solomon structures the Tamil verses around direct questions like ‘Nee Ennai Mannithaya’ (Did you forgive me). Vandana Srinivasan’s delivery emphasizes the paralyzing uncertainty of awaiting judgment after breaking a promise.
Ennatha Naan Solla PorenWhat am I going to say?
Kalathai Naan Thalla PorenI’m just trying to pass the time.
Sogathai Naan Yentha PorenI’m going to carry this sorrow,
Seitha Paavathai Naan Thanga Porenand I’m going to bear the sin I’ve committed.
Kanmaniye Pon ManiyeMy dear, my precious one,
Sonnadhellam Nee Nambinayeyou believed everything I said.
Sonnathai Naan SeiyalaiyeI didn’t do what I promised,
Nee Nambinaye Ennai Nambinayebut you believed me, you still believed in me.
Adi AathiOh, my god,
Nee Ennai Mannithayahave you forgiven me,
Illai Thandithaya Endru Thonalaiyeor have you punished me? I just can’t tell.
Ennatha Naan Solla PorenWhat am I going to say?
KaayamellamAll these wounds,
Mella Aaridumethey’ll slowly start to heal,
Mella Maaridumethey’ll slowly start to change,
Athu Vaadidumeand they’ll fade away.
KannukkulleInside my eyes,
Kanda Katchi Ellamall the sights I’ve seen,
Mella Oodidumewill slowly run away,
Nenjil Adidumebut they’ll still tear at my heart.
Adi AathiOh, my god,
Nee Ennai Mannithayahave you forgiven me,
Illai Thandithaya Endru Thonalaiyeor have you punished me? I just can’t tell.
Ennatha Naan Solla PorenWhat am I going to say?
