දේවත්වයෙන් මිදී මිනිසත් වෙසින් එදා
අප අතරට ඔබ ආ එදිනෙ
ඔබ පිළිගන්නට අප කිසිවෙකුටත් නෑ
හැකි උනේ එදා
සමාවන්න අප දුබල නිසා . .
ආයෙමත් ඔබ එන්න
මා හදේ උපදින්න
සීතලෙන් මිදෙන්න
උණුහුමේ වේලෙන්න
මගේ ජීවිතේ රජවෙන්න
මගේ ජීවිතේ ඔබගන්න
ආදරෙන් සැනසෙන්න
මා පවින් මුදන්න
හදේ ගිනි නිවන්න
සදාළඟ රැදෙන්න
මගේ ජීවිතේ රජවෙන්න
මගේ ජීවිතේ ඔබගන්න
දේවත්වයෙන් මිදී මිනිසත් වෙසින් එදා
අප අතරට ඔබ ආ එදිනෙ
ඔබ පිළිගන්නට අප කිසිවෙකුටත් නෑ
හැකි උනේ එදා
සමාවන්න අප දුබල නිසා . .Dewathwayen Lyrics English Translation
Freed from divinity, in human guise, that day,
the day you came among us,
none of us was able
to receive you, back then,
forgive us, for we are weak . .
Come again,
be born in my heart,
free me from the cold,
dry me in your warmth
Reign over my life,
take my life for your own
Comfort me with love,
release me from my sin,
put out the fire in the heart,
stay forever near
Reign over my life,
take my life for your own
Freed from divinity, in human guise, that day,
the day you came among us,
none of us was able
to receive you, back then,
forgive us, for we are weak . .

Dewathwayen Song Meaning and Interpretation
A devotional Christmas song that begins with an apology rather than a celebration. Freed from divinity, in human guise, Jesus came among us; but none of us was able to receive you, the singer confesses, and asks, forgive us, for we are weak. The birth is met first with humility and repentance.
The middle turns it into a personal invitation. Come again, be born in my heart, he prays; free me from the cold, dry me in your warmth. And the surrender at its centre, repeated as a refrain, reign over my life, take my life for your own. Christmas becomes a plea for Christ to be born not in a manger but within.
The close is a litany of gentle requests: comfort me with love, release me from my sin, put out the fire in the heart, stay forever near. Then it returns to the opening confession of human weakness and the plea for forgiveness. Sung by Nalin Perera (a Marians original) to words by Rev. Fr. Susanatha Bernard, composed by Dinesh Tharanga, it is a humble, prayerful Christmas song asking the Christ who once went unwelcomed to come again and be born, this time, in the heart.
