Oben Thora Lokayak Lyrics Singlish
Oben thora lokayak koyindo
Oben thora heenayak
Oben thora maawathak
Oben thora geethayak
Koyindo....
Dakina hama roopayama
Obe ruwa se pene
Asana hama geeyakama
Obe katahanda ase..
Sihinayen sihinayata
Obayi sarisaranne
Asipiyen asipiyata
Oba pamani sitinne...ඔබෙන් තොර ලෝකයක් ගී පද
ඔබෙන් තොර ලෝකයක් කොයින්දෝ
ඔබෙන් තොර හීනයක්
ඔබෙන් තොර මාවතක්
ඔබෙන් තොර ගීතයක්
කොයින්දෝ....
දකින හැම රූපයම
ඔබේ රුව සේ පෙනෙ
අසන හැම ගීයකම
ඔබේ කටහඬ ඇසේ..
සිහිනයෙන් සිහිනයට
ඔබයි සැරිසරන්නේ
ඇසිපියෙන් ඇසිපියට
ඔබ පමණි සිටින්නේ...Oben Thora Lokayak Lyrics English Translation
Where is there a world without you?
a dream without you,
a path without you,
a song without you,
where could it be?….
Every image that I see
appears to me like your face,
in every song that I hear,
your voice is what I hear..
From dream to dream,
it is you who wanders through,
from one blink to the next,
you alone are there…

Oben Thora Lokayak Song Meaning and Interpretation
A tender, wholehearted love song, and a classic of Sinhala popular music, that measures the beloved’s presence by imagining her absence. Where, it asks over and over, could there ever be a world without you, a dream without you, a path or a song without you? The answer, left unspoken, is nowhere: she has become the very condition of everything.
The middle shows how completely she fills his senses. Every image he sees takes on the look of her face; every song he hears carries the sound of her voice. The whole sensory world has been overwritten by her, so that he cannot look or listen without meeting her.
The close is the most intimate. From dream to dream it is she who wanders through his sleep, and from one blink of the eyes to the next, she alone is there. Written by Prof. Sunil Ariyaratne and sung by Abeywardana Balasuriya, it is a gentle, devoted song about a love so total that the beloved has become inseparable from seeing, hearing and dreaming, from existence itself.
