What is the meaning of Enna Thavam Lyrics from Thirupaachi?
The lyrics ask, ‘What penance did we do to be born as brother and sister?’ Perarasu uses imagery like ‘Karpagam,’ a wish-granting tree, to describe the deep love between siblings. The songwriter also mentions henna, symbolizing how one sibling helps the other grow.
Enna Thavam Senju PuttomI wonder what penance we could’ve done,
Annan Thanga Agiputtomto be born as a brother and sister.
Pavi Nanum PonnaWas it a sin for a poor soul like me,
Porandha Pavamato be born a daughter?
Vazhum Edam PorandhaCan the home I’m going to,
Edam Agumaever become the one I was born in?
Hmm Mm HmmHmm mm hmm.
Hmm Mm MmHmm mm hmm.
Uh Kanum Katchi TheepudikkaAs this scene before me catches fire,
Kannu Rendum Neereraikkaand both my eyes begin to well with tears.
Meela Nanum Kara Sethu PoreneI’m just trying to make it to the other shore,
Sami Mela Baram Pottu Vareneand I’m placing this heavy burden in God’s hands.
Kanne KarpagameMy precious, you’re a ‘Karpagam’, a wish-granting tree,
Kannukkulla Soppanameyou’re the dream that lives within my eyes.
Thoongama AnnankoodaWithout a moment’s rest, with your brother,
Yeppothum Kooda IruI wish you’d always stay.
En ThayiMy own mother,
Oru Thaya Petheduthalegave birth to another mother.
Pudhu Vazhvu Ava VazhaSo she could live a new life,
ThathuvitteneI’ve given her away.
Karu Veettil Poothu PuttomWe blossomed from the very same womb,
Veettaiyumthan Mathi Puttombut now we’ve ended up in different homes.
Avadharam Pola NeeyumYou came into this world,
Avadharithayelike a divine ‘avatar’.
Marudhani Pola Enna Valathu VittayeYou adorned my life and helped me grow, just like ‘marudhani’ henna.
Sevantha Edam Porantha EdamThe home that adorned you is the home of your birth,
Uthirntha Edam Puguntha Edamand the home where it fades is the one you must now join.
Enna Thavam Senju PuttomI wonder what penance we could’ve done,
Annan Thanga Agiputtomto be born as a brother and sister.
Enna Thavam Senju PuttomWhat great deed did we ever do,
Annan Thangato become brother and sister…
