Dhevanae ennai paarungal En paavangal thammai vaangi kollungal
Dhevanae ennai paarungal En paavangal thammai vaangi kollungal
Aayiram nanmai theemaigal Naangal seigindrom
Neengal ariveer mannitharulveer

Oh my lord pardon me…

Ungal mandhaiyil irundhu Irandu aadugal
Vaeru vaeru paadhaiyil poi vittana Irandum sandhitha podhu
Pesa mudiyavillaiyae…

Thaai madiyilae mazhalaigal oomaiyo
Saei uravilum ninaivugal mounamo
Noi udalilaa manadhila dhevanae
Naan azhuvadhaa sirippadhaa kartharae… oo…

Maangalum sondham thaedumae Im maanidan seidha paavam ennavo
Kaavalae satta vaeliyae un paarvaiyil Pillai paasam illaiyo

Selvangal kuvindhadhu Maaligai vandhadhu
Saevai purindhida saevagar aayiram Thaedi kondaadida nanbargal vandhanar
Aayiram irundhum vasadhigal irundhum No peace of mind

Aaa…aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…aaa…

Dhevanae ennai paarungal En paavangal thammai vaangi kollungal

Aaa…aaaaaaaaaaaa. Aaa…aaaaaaaaaaaa.

Kael tharugiren endradhae neerandro
Naan pala murai ketkiren tharavillai
En karunaiyae thirakkumaa sannidhi
En kartharae kidaikkumaa nimmadhi… oo…

Oh lord please answer my prayer

Kangalil kanneer illaiyae Indha ullamum idhai thaangavillaiyae
Kondu vaa illai kondu po Un kovilil vandhu saevai seigindren

{Mullai valaithoru magudam anindhadhum
Aani adithhoru siluvaiyil araindhadhum
Andru nadandhadhu aavi thudithadhu
Indru nadappadhu nenju thudikkudhu }

Aaa…aaaaaaaaaaaa. Aaa…aaaaaaaaaaaa.

Dhevanae ennai paarungal En paavangal thammai vaangi kollungal
En paavangal thammai vaangi kollungal

Song Meaning & Analysis

This song, 'Devane Ennai' from the 1972 film 'Gnana Oli', is a profound and poignant plea to God. The lyrics, penned by Kannadasan, express a deep sense of remorse and a yearning for divine forgiveness. The protagonist acknowledges the myriad good and bad deeds committed by humans, trusting in God's omniscience and mercy. The imagery of two lost sheep from God's flock, unable to communicate upon reunion, powerfully conveys themes of separation, broken relationships, or perhaps an internal conflict that leaves one speechless and isolated.

The song delves into the protagonist's existential crisis, questioning whether suffering stems from the body or the mind, and expressing confusion between tears and laughter. Despite accumulating material wealth and comforts, there is a profound lack of inner peace, leading to a desperate cry for solace. The lyrics also touch upon the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, referencing the crown of thorns and crucifixion, drawing a parallel between that ancient suffering and the current torment of the heart, culminating in a complete surrender and a fervent prayer for God to either bring or take the devotee to His temple for service.
