Liyathambara Lyrics
(Liyathambara mudu kusumaki a
Thausange dahane sama bindina
Nae loke jeeve ayai
Nae loke jeeve ayai...//)
Maayawa maayawa lowa rawatana
Sihinayaki sihinayaki andure pawena
Veenave thath nagana mudu sware ayamayi
Ma hadata rasa genena maduwitha ayai
Liyathambara....
Miringuwaki miringuwaki apa rawatana
Dura aetha sithijayaki ima nopenena
Nil nayana bingu delaki neth saraya sumudui
Mage jeeve vali kathare diya bindu ayai
(Liyathambara mudu kusumaki a
Thausange dahane sama bindina
Nae loke jeeve ayai
Nae loke jeeve ayai...//)
Nae loke jeeve ayai..
Nae loke jeeve ayai..ලියතඹරා ගී පද
(ලියතඹරා මුදු කුසුමකි ඈ
තවුසන්ගේ දැහැනේ සම බිඳිනා
නෑ ලෝකෙ ජීවේ ඇයයි
නෑ ලෝකෙ ජීවේ ඇයයි...//)
මායාව මායාව ලොව රවටනා
සිහිනයකි සිහිනයකි අඳුරෙ පාවෙනා
වීණාවෙ තත් නගන මුදු ස්වරෙ ඇයමයි
මා හදට රස ගෙනෙන මදුවිත ඇයයි
ලියතඹරා....
මිරිඟුවකි මිරිඟුවකි අප රවටනා
දුර ඈත සිතිජයකි ඉම නොපෙනෙනා
නිල් නයන බිඟු දැලකි නෙත් සරය සුමුදුයි
මගෙ ජීවෙ වැලි කතරෙ දිය බිඳ ඇයයි
(ලියතඹරා මුදු කුසුමකි ඈ
තවුසන්ගේ දැහැනේ සම බිඳිනා
නෑ ලෝකෙ ජීවේ ඇයයි
නෑ ලෝකෙ ජීවේ ඇයයි...//)
නෑ ලෝකෙ ජීවේ ඇයයි..
නෑ ලෝකෙ ජීවේ ඇයයි..Liyathambara Lyrics English Translation
Liyathambara is a gentle flower,
Falling softly in the breath of a sigh.
There is no other life in this world like hers,
No other life like hers…
She is an illusion, a mirage that deceives the world,
A dream floating through the dark.
The soft tones rising from the veena feel like her,
Bringing a tender sweetness into my heart.
Liyathambara…
She is a shimmering mirage that misleads us,
A distant horizon we can never quite reach.
Her blue eyes are like the net of a honeybee’s wing –
Her gaze is soft like silk.
In the dry desert of my life,
She is the drop of water I thirst for.
Liyathambara is a gentle flower,
Falling softly in the breath of a sigh.
There is no other life like hers in this world…
No other life like hers…

Liyathambara Song Meaning and Interpretation
“Liyathambara” is a poetic tribute to a woman who feels both real and unreachable – delicate, mysterious, and unforgettable. The song uses imagery like mirages, soft flowers, and desert thirst to describe a love that may not be tangible, but leaves a deep emotional imprint.
She is portrayed as something beautiful and almost mythical – a dream that floats in the dark, a veena’s melody, a drop of water in a desert. The repetition of “no other life like hers” reflects the singer’s awe and sorrow, recognizing her uniqueness while also feeling the pain of distance or loss.
In essence, this is a song about the longing for something – or someone – too perfect to hold onto.
