Rohana Siriwardena (also spelled Rohana Siriwardana, රෝහණ සිරිවර්ධන) is a Sri Lankan vocalist working in the Sinhala light-classical and golden-era song tradition. He is known for melodic, lyric-driven recordings such as Dewa Mandire, Waradinne Natha, and Matath Horen, which remain in steady rotation among listeners of older Sinhala music.
Siriwardena’s catalogue sits in the same warm, melody-first vein as singers like Victor Ratnayake and Edward Jayakody, the artists most often grouped alongside him on streaming platforms. His recordings favour gentle arrangements built around the voice and the words, the style that defined Sinhala radio-era song. Several of his titles, including Waradinne Natha (also listed as “Waradinne Netha”), have been reissued on later compilations, among them a “Best of Rohana Siriwardana” collection.

What keeps Rohana Siriwardana’s songs alive for the Sinhala diaspora is their restraint: clear diction, unhurried tempos, and lyrics that carry the emotional weight rather than the production. For listeners searching the Sinhala script titles or the romanised forms, these pages pair each song with its meaning so the words travel as well as the melody.
