Naan Enge
Karthik Netha | Manoj Krishna • From “Aalan”
Naan Enge Lyrics Translation Karthik Netha | Manoj Krishna | Aalan
Karthik Netha’s writing asks ‘Where is the I that I call me?’ and ‘If everything disappears, why is there birth here?’ These lines expose the protagonist’s struggle with impermanence. The lyrics reject easy answers about identity.
