Ninte hitham pole enne

Ninte hitham pole enne

Ente hitham poleyalle en

Embamulla jeevithavum
Erae dhana maanagalum
Thumbamatta saukyangalum
Chodikkunnille adiyan

Anybody had the English meaning of the song lyrics completely?

Here is the literal translation into English:

As per your will
Lead me daily
Not as per my will
My Lord my God

[for] A life of pleasure and
Vast wealth and glory/fame
Limitless health
Your servant is not asking (ninte hitham...)

Straight and level road or
Long or short path
A life of suffering/a difficult path
Or full of good fortune (ninte hitham...)

The frightening darkness
Father, or bright light
Whatever you command/is your will
All these things for me are blessings (ninte hitham...)

[to know] What is good for me
I don't have the wisdom, Lord
According to your name
Steer me in righteous ways (ninte hitham...)

Pillar of cloud and fire
Your humble servant shall follow
Daily you abide with me
Father, you have your gracious eye on me (ninte hitham...)

If you're looking for a translation that can be sung in English, here is a translation that matches the tempo and meaning of the verses but is not a word-for-word literal translation:

Oh God of All, guide me each day,
With your strong hand, show me the way.
Oh not my will, but yours be done.
Let my desires and yours be one.

[Sing either "ninte hitham" or the first two lines above for the chorus]

I do not ask for wealth or fame
For pleasure or life free from pain.
I only seek to know your will,
Your hopes for me I shall fulfill.

[chorus]

Though my life's path be smooth or straight
Or filled with pain, suff'ring and hate,
Whate'er may come, God help me see
Your blessings in this life for me.

[chorus]

The frightening dark may 'round me grow
Or my life be lit with brightest glow.
My God they are the same to me
For your great love in both shall be.

[chorus]

I've not the wisdom, God, to know
What's right and true; which way to go.
So in your name, Great God I pray,
Steer me ever in righteous ways.

[chorus]

We look to you, great pillar of fire
Guide us and all our dreams inspire.
Watch over us; don't turn away
We submit to your will each night and day.

[chorus]
