“Aakasha Deepavu Ninu” is a lovely song from the 1977 Kannada film Pavana Ganga. Known for its emotional depth and beautiful music, the movie is a classic in Kannada cinema.
Call me old folk, but I love this song more than any other trending love song. It’s music, lyrics, Srinath’s acting, everything is crazy. This song always has a special place in my heart, that’s because of that one special person who sang this beautiful melody for me when I was in school.
It was during an annual singing competition in college that one of my close friends chose this song for the stage performance. He is not a trained singer, nor does he have a good voice. But it was his wish to dedicate a song to me, in front of everyone. Aw! What a day and what a moment it was. I felt so special in someone’s life that day. Without any prior preparation, he sang it so well to the music that everyone loved it. And especially girls enjoyed it.
So today, I am bringing the lyrics of that special song, Akasha Deepavu Neenu from the film Pavana Ganga.

Aakasha Deepavu Neenu Lyrics In Kannada
ಆಕಾಶ ದೀಪವು ನೀನು
ನಿನ್ನ ಕಂಡಾಗ ಸಂತೋಷವೇನು
ಆಕಾಶ ದೀಪವು ನೀನು
ನಿನ್ನ ಕಂಡಾಗ ಸಂತೋಷವೇನು
ಆ ನೋಟದಲ್ಲಿ ಹಿತವೇನು
ಮರೆಯಾದಾಗ ನೋವೇನು
ಕಂಡಂದೆ ಕುಣಿಯಿತು ಮನವು
ಹೂವಾಗಿ ಅರಳಿತು ತನುವು
ಕಂಡಂದೆ ಕುಣಿಯಿತು ಮನವು
ಹೂವಾಗಿ ಅರಳಿತು ತನುವು
ಹೃದಯದಾ ವೀಣೆಯನೂ
ಹಿತವಾಗಿ ನುಡಿಸುತಲೀ
ಆನಂದ ತುಂಬಲು ನೀನು ನಾ ನಲಿದೆನು
ಆಕಾಶ ದೀಪವು ನೀನು
ನಿನ್ನ ಕಂಡಾಗ ಸಂತೋಷವೇನು
ನಿನ್ನ ಕಂಡಾಗ ಸಂತೋಷವೇನು
ಅನುರಾಗ ಮೂಡಿದ ಮೇಲೆ
ನೂರಾರು ಬಯಕೆಯ ಮಾಲೆ
ಅನುರಾಗ ಮೂಡಿದ ಮೇಲೆ
ನೂರಾರು ಬಯಕೆಯ ಮಾಲೆ
ಹೃದಯವೂ ಧರಿಸಿದೆ
ಈ ಜೀವ ಸೋಲುತಿದೆ
ಸಂಗಾತಿಯಾದರೆ ನೀನು ನಾ ಉಳಿವೆನು
ಆಕಾಶ ದೀಪವು ನೀನು
ನಿನ್ನ ಕಂಡಾಗ ಸಂತೋಷವೇನು
ಆ ನೋಟದಲ್ಲಿ ಹಿತವೇನು
ಮರೆಯಾದಾಗ ನೋವೇನು
ಆಕಾಶ ದೀಪವು ನೀನು
ನಿನ್ನ ಕಂಡಾಗ ಸಂತೋಷವೇನು
ನಿನ್ನ ಕಂಡಾಗ ಸಂತೋಷವೇನು

Akasha Deepavu Ninu Song Meaning & Theme
Some songs just remain very close to us, no matter how old they get. Akasha Deepavu Ninu is one such song for me. It is a beautiful expression of love and joy.
At the beginning of the song, the singer compares his love to the bright light in the sky. He says, “You are the lamp that fills my life with light always,” just like the bright sky. He feels so happy whenever he sees his girl. Her sight itself is enough for him to live. Her smiling face is everything to him. But he cannot bear the pain when she disappears from his sight.
The next lines reflect how love transforms the heart and soul when we are in true love with someone. The line, “ಕಂಡಂದೆ ಕುಣಿಯಿತು ಮನವು, ಹೂವಾಗಿ ಅರಳಿತು ತನುವು” shows how the presence of the loved one brings life and vibrancy. It says his heart danced like a baby and blossomed like a flower when he saw his girl. Even when apart, their absence leaves a deep longing and sadness.
The music, composed by M. Ranga Rao, adds a serene and comforting touch to the lyrics, perfectly capturing the song’s themes of love, growth, and togetherness.
