Priyashantha Abegunawardana (ප්රියශාන්ත අබේගුණවර්ධන), also romanized Priyashantha Abeygunawardana, is a Sri Lankan playback singer who works in the Sinhala popular and stage-song tradition. He is best known to listeners for the romantic single “Asai Dakaganna” (ආසයි දැක ගන්න).
Abegunawardana belongs to the wave of Sinhala vocalists whose work circulated through radio, live shows, and the MP3 and karaoke download sites that catalogue local music. His best-documented recording, “Asai Dakaganna”, was released as a single in 2006 and remains the song most often listed under his name across Sri Lankan music catalogues. He is also widely credited with the sentimental number “Sihi Wenakota Ruwa (Arathi Mage)”.
Because so much of his catalogue lives on download and lyrics portals rather than in printed records, several spellings of his name appear in circulation. Sources index him as both Priyashantha Abegunawardana and Priyashantha Abeygunawardana, and the songs are the most reliable way to identify the same artist across them.
Each page presents the song in Sinhala script alongside an English transliteration (Singlish) and a translation, so that a listener searching for Priyashantha Abeygunawardana’s lyrics can also read the meaning of the words.
