எனக்கு ஒரு தெய்வத்தாயை
கொடுத்தது தெய்வமே
எனக்கு ஒரு தெய்வத்தையே
கொடுத்தது காதலே
உன்னுடன் வாழ்ந்திடும் நாட்கள்
உள்ளத்தை நீங்கிடவில்லை
இன்னும் ஒரு ஜென்மத்தின் மேலே
நம்பிக்கை வந்திடவில்லை
உந்தன் அருகினில்தான்
என் உயிரும் உலவுது
உந்தன் மடியில்தான்
உயிர் துரத்த தொடங்குது
To me, an angel
God has gifted.
Female: To me, a deity
Love has gifted.
Male: The days lived with you
Have not left my heart.
Female: Faith in another rebirth
Has not yet come to me.
Male: Only near you
My soul wanders.
Female: Only in your lap
Does my life begin to fade away peacefully.
எனக்கு ஒரு தெய்வத்தாயை
கொடுத்தது தெய்வமே
To me, an angel
God has gifted.
உன்னை மட்டும் நான் காணும் முன்னே
உலகம் இல்லையே
கண்டவுடன் உன்னில் தொலைந்தேன்
ஏனோ காணவில்லையே
Before I saw only you
The world did not exist.
The moment I saw you, I got lost in you
Why could I not find myself?
வானவில் வண்ணங்களாய்
என்னுள்ளே வந்தாயே
வந்து நிழலைக்கூட நான்
ஏழு வர்ணமாக்கினேன்
Like rainbow colors
You came inside me.
Male: Coming here, even your shadow
I turned into seven colors.
என்னை நீ கேட்காமல்
உள்ளத்தை கொய்தாயே
நெஞ்சை திருடி திருடித்தான்
காதல் தேனை சுவைக்கிறேன்
என்னில் சம்மதம் வரும் முன்னே
நீ முந்திட கூடாது
வருடி நெருடி தின்னால்
தெகட்டவில்லையடி நீ
Without asking me
You plucked my heart.
Male: Stealing my heart repeatedly
I taste the nectar of love.
Female: Before my consent comes
You must not rush ahead.
Male: Even when caressed and consumed
You never get overwhelming, my girl.
எனக்கு ஒரு தெய்வத்தையே
கொடுத்தது காதலே
எனக்கு ஒரு தெய்வத்தாயை
கொடுத்தது தெய்வமே
To me, a deity
Love has gifted.
Male: To me, an angel
God has gifted.
இடி மழையோ எரிமலையோ தாங்கிடுவோமே
ஒரு யுகமோ சில நொடியோ வாழ்ந்திடுவோமே
Whether thunderstorm rain or volcano, we will endure.
Whether an epoch or a few seconds, we will live.
பெண்ணான மண் மேலே
வந்தது உன்னாலே
உந்தன் சுமையை சுமக்கத்தான்
இந்த மண்ணாய் மாறினேன்
Coming onto this earth as a woman
Happened because of you.
Male: Just to bear your burden
I turned into this patient earth.
உன்னையே என் வாழ்வில்
அன்னையாய் கண்டேனே
செர்ரி பழத்தை போலத்தான்
நெஞ்சில் வைத்து பார்க்கிறேன்
நீ பக்கம் இருப்பதனால்
அந்த சொர்க்கமும் கசக்குதே
நிழலும் உன்னை பிரிந்திடலாம்
இணைந்திருப்பேன் நான்
You alone in my life
I considered as a mother.
Male: Just like a cherry fruit
I keep you close in my heart and cherish you.
Female: Because you are near me
Even paradise feels bitter in comparison.
Male: Even your shadow might separate from you
எனக்கு ஒரு தெய்வத்தாயை
கொடுத்தது தெய்வமே
எனக்கு ஒரு தெய்வத்தையே
கொடுத்தது காதலே

God has gifted.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Enakku Oru Dhevathaiyai' is a romantic duet from the movie Pillaiyar Theru Kadaisi Veedu (2011). The song expresses deep emotional devotion and romantic adoration between two lovers who view each other as divine gifts. The male lead considers his partner an angel sent by God, while the female lead considers her partner a deity granted to her by love itself. Through vibrant imagery involving rainbows, cherries, and earth, they describe how their lives became meaningful only after finding each other. They pledge to withstand any severe trial together—whether thunderstorms or volcanic eruptions—emphasizing that time spent together, whether a few seconds or an entire epoch, is sacred. Their mutual devotion reaches a peak where even heaven pales in comparison to being in each other's presence.
