Parami Piru Maga Lyrics
Paaramee piru maga nawathee do
Praarthana sitha sangavee do
Rakusha lokaya rasavee do
Pin sitha sasare thanivee do
Jeewithaye sapa soyana maawatha
Duk vindimin adena ….
Sasara keles laga iki bindina sitha
Karmaya saka lesina ….
Paaramee piru maga nawathee do
Praarthana sitha sangavee do
Rakusha lokaya rasavee do
Pin sitha sasare thanivee do
Mamada nowana ma ... ma laga hindimin
Ma kara pita yapena …
Bhawa duka ikibinda sasare awidina
Holmana mama wemina
Paaramee piru maga nawathee do
Praarthana sitha sangavee do
Rakusha lokaya rasavee do
Pin sitha sasare thanivee do
Paskanda baralanga ... keles malehi bara
Ahasa usata nagila …
Thun lowa balana pahan eliya ada
Avidu andure gilila …..
Paaramee piru maga nawathee do
Praarthana sitha sangavee do
Rakusha lokaya rasavee do
Pin sitha sasare thanivee doපාරමී පිරු මග ගී පද

Does the path filled with perfections come to a halt?
have the wishes hidden in the heart faded away?
has this cruel world turned sweet?
is the merit-seeking heart left all alone in samsara?
The road that searches for life’s comfort,
dragged along, enduring suffering ….
the heart sobbing beside the defilements of samsara,
like the wheel of karma ….
Does the path filled with perfections come to a halt?
have the wishes hidden in the heart faded away?
has this cruel world turned sweet?
is the merit-seeking heart left all alone in samsara?
I who am not even my own self … living beside myself,
kept alive upon my own shoulders …
sobbing the suffering of existence, wandering through samsara,
I become a haunting ghost
Does the path filled with perfections come to a halt?
have the wishes hidden in the heart faded away?
has this cruel world turned sweet?
is the merit-seeking heart left all alone in samsara?
The burden of the five aggregates … the weight of the flowers of defilement,
risen as high as the sky …
the lamp-light that watches over the three worlds,
today drowned in the darkness of ignorance …..
Does the path filled with perfections come to a halt?
have the wishes hidden in the heart faded away?
has this cruel world turned sweet?
is the merit-seeking heart left all alone in samsara?

Parami Piru Maga Song Meaning and Interpretation
This is a searching, philosophical song steeped in Buddhist thought, written as a theme for the teledrama Vishwaye Doratuwa: Sasara Parami. It is built almost entirely of anxious questions. Does the path filled with parami, the perfections a soul cultivates over many lifetimes, come to a halt here? Have the wishes hidden in the heart faded, has this cruel world somehow turned sweet, and is the merit-seeking heart left all alone in samsara, the endless round of rebirth?
The middle turns those questions inward and darker. The road that chases life’s comfort, it says, only drags a person along through suffering, and the heart sobs beside the kilesa, the defilements, turning like the wheel of karma. Then comes the most striking line, pure Buddhist teaching: I who am not even my own self, it says, touching the doctrine of anatta, no-self, and describes a person kept alive on his own shoulders, sobbing the suffering of existence and wandering samsara until he becomes little more than a restless, haunting ghost.
The final image is of light lost. The pas kanda, the five aggregates that make up a being, and the heaped flowers of defilement have risen as high as the sky, and the lamp-light that once watched over all three worlds is today drowned in avidya, the darkness of ignorance. Rather than comfort, the song offers an unflinching picture of a being lost in samsara, and its beauty lies in how seriously it takes the Dhamma, turning hard Buddhist truths into something you can feel.
