Diviye Nalawili Thotilla Lyrics Singlish
Diviye nalawili thotilla
Kusata ahara rasa palawala
Maha polawata wasi warusaa
Gaseni sadenne
Gasaka mahima bala diwi maga sewanali lanne
Yowun wiyata nawum suwanda
Supipi kusum aga radawana
Ramanee wana gaba asiriya
Gaseni sadenne
Gasaka mahima bala mihilol bamaru adenne
Adena sasala dala nala rala
Atha paa madakata walakana
Sadaaharitha wana rekhaa dasatha mawanne
Gasaka mahima bala sihilasa suwaya sadanne
Abala dubala mahalu wiyata
Sarayatiyen dee weeriya
Gasa pamanayi duka sapa dekatama lan wanne
Athu ithi sidalana ayatada sewana sadanneදිවියේ නැළවිලි තොටිල්ල ගී පද
දිවියේ නැළවිලි තොටිල්ල
කුසට අහර රස ඵලවැල
මහ පොළවට වැසි වරුසා
ගසෙනි සැදෙන්නේ
ගසක මහිම බල දිවි මඟ සෙවණැලි ලන්නේ
යොවුන් වියට නැවුම් සුවඳ
සුපිපි කුසුම් අග රඳවන
රමණී වන ගැබ අසිරිය
ගසෙනි සැදෙන්නේ
ගසක මහිම බල මිහිලොල් බමරු ඇදෙන්නේ
ඇදෙන සසල දල නල රැළ
අත පා මඳකට වලකන
සදාහරිත වන රේඛා දසත මවන්නේ
ගසක මහිම බල සිහිලස සුවය සදන්නේ
අබල දුබල මහලු වියට
සැරයටියෙන් දී වීරිය
ගස පමණයි දුක සැප දෙකටම ලං වන්නේ
අතු ඉති සිඳලන අයටද සෙවණ සදන්නේDiviye Nalawili Thotilla Lyrics English Translation
The cradle-lullaby of life,
the fruit and food-flavour for the belly,
the rain-showers for the great earth,
all are made by the tree,
by a tree’s greatness, shade is cast upon the path of life
To the young, storing fresh fragrance
at the tips of blossomed flowers,
the wonder of the lovely forest-womb
is made by the tree,
by a tree’s power, the honey-loving bees are drawn
The drifting, stirring, tossing waves,
blocking hand and foot for a moment,
the evergreen forest-lines that paint the ten directions,
by a tree’s power, coolness and comfort are made
To the frail, weak days of old age,
giving vigour with a walking-stick,
only the tree draws near to both sorrow and joy,
it makes shade even for those who cut its branches

Diviye Nalawili Thotilla Song Meaning and Interpretation
A serene, philosophical ode to the tree, sung by the maestro Amaradeva, that treats the tree as the very source and sustainer of life. It is the cradle-lullaby of life, giving fruit and food-flavour for the belly, calling down rain-showers for the great earth; and by a tree’s greatness, shade is cast upon the path of life. Everything living is quietly indebted to it.
The middle celebrates the tree as beauty and abundance. It stores fresh fragrance at the tips of blossomed flowers, creates the wonder of the lovely forest-womb, and draws the honey-loving bees. The tree is not just useful but the maker of the world’s loveliness.
The last verses honour the tree’s steadfast generosity. It gives vigour with a walking-stick to frail old age; only the tree draws near to both sorrow and joy, present in every human season; and, in the line that crowns the whole song, it makes shade even for those who cut its branches. Sung by W. D. Amaradeva to words by Sunil Sarath Perera, it is a luminous classic in praise of the tree, sustainer, beautifier, and boundless giver that shelters even those who harm it.
