Michael Peiris (also written Micheal Peries and Michael Peries, මයිකල් පීරිස්) is a Sri Lankan singer associated with an older generation of Sinhala devotional and reflective song. He is best remembered for “Sansare Bawe Duka” (සංසාරේ භවේ දුකා), a meditation on the suffering of the cycle of existence that has stayed in circulation for decades and been recorded and re-shared across many Sinhala music collections.
Peiris worked largely in a spiritual and contemplative idiom, with many of his recordings drawing on Buddhist themes and moral reflection. Catalogues of his work list devotional pieces alongside lighter narrative songs, a range that places him among the singers who kept that quieter, message-driven strand of Sinhala music alive.
On Lyrics-lk his signature song appears in two transliterations, reflecting how it has been spelled by different sources over the years. The site also hosts his nature-themed “Kele Gijindaya” and the love song “Ase Athin Obe Geethe”, presented with Sinhala lyrics and English translation for bilingual readers.
Searchers find his work under several spellings, most often Michael Peiris and Micheal Peries, and his best-known title under both “Sansare Bawe Duka” and “Sansare Bhawe Dukaa”.
Every Sinhala lyric, composition, and song credit by Micheal Peries.
