Kanna Kanna Lyrics Translation – Vattam Soundtrack
Pradeep Kumar contrasts building up (‘Kattuna’) and tormenting (‘Vattuna’) through direct Tamil phrases. Adithya Rk questions why shared dreams vanished after intimate promises. Lines like ‘Anba Thandha Vanavilla’ compare lost love to a disappeared rainbow.
Kanna Kanna KattunaMy dear, you built me up,
Enna Enna VattunaThen you completely tormented me.
Kannukulla ThangunaYou stayed right here in my eyes,
Enna Motham MathunaAnd you changed every part of me.
Thalli Thalli OodunaYou kept pushing me away and running,
Thannanthani AkkunaLeaving me utterly alone.
Ennennavo PesunaYou said all sorts of things,
Nenja Vetti VeesunaThen you sliced my heart and tossed it aside.
Thaniya ThavichenI suffered all by myself,
Un Valiyal Nan TholainjenI became lost in the pain you gave me.
Adiye ThudichenMy heart pounded for you,
Unna Nenache Nan UdainjenAnd I shattered just thinking of you.
En Kannu MunnaRight before my very eyes,
Nan Kanda KanaThe dream I once saw,
Adhu Kana Poochu YenadiWhy has it just vanished into thin air?
