T. M. Soundarajan and L. R. Eswari perform ‘Enthan Nenjam’ from the album ‘Kathalithal Pothuma’. Lyricist Kannadasan and composer S. Vedhachalam shape this melody about unanswered questions in love. The music balances thoughtfulness with quiet optimism.
Enthan Nenjam
L. R. Eswari | T. M. Soundarajan • From “Kathalithal Pothuma”
Enthan Nenjam Lyrics Translation (from “Kathalithal Pothuma”)
Kannadasan compares one-sided love to clapping with a single hand. He questions outcomes when only one person feels desire. The lyrics note clouds without rain cannot produce storms.
Endhan Nenjam Yaarai Kandu OodumooWhom does my heart seek to run towards?
Eppodhu Ondraiondru KoodumoWhen will our two hearts finally unite as one?
Endhan Nenjam Yaarai Kandu OodumooWhom does my heart seek to run towards?
Eppodhu Ondraiondru KoodumoWhen will our two hearts finally unite as one?

Mutual affection defines the song’s central philosophy. Vedhachalam’s composition pairs well with the Enthan Nenjam lyrics translation about reciprocal bonds. Unreturned longing forms the core tension.
