Nura Sadak

In loving eyes – your love smiles,
in the breeze of loving thoughts – the heart floats near and far,
the dream will take flight – in a first-blossom wish,
life will overflow – in the closeness of you

A wanton moon will rise – wrapped in the mist of night,
telling its secrets once again – it steals away my feelings

In the cool where dewdrops bloom – wrapped around your heart – memory went wandering,
smeared in the night moon’s rays – hidden in the coming breeze – your love-song was heard,
the night-lotus bloomed, brimming with fragrance – and life was made new ….

On the path the celestial maidens came – let us go, on a journey,
the field of star-flowers in sight …. across the galaxy

A wanton moon will rise – wrapped in the mist of night,
telling its secrets once again – it steals away my feelings

Life’s delight – a new dream comes true,
on the golden-swan lake – this hour will dance,
diving into the flood of love – in a first-blossom wish,
life will overflow – in the closeness you have found

A wanton moon will rise – wrapped in the mist of night,
telling its secrets once again – it steals away my feelings

A lush, romantic duet by Bathiya Jayakody and Umaria Sinhawansa, all moonlight, dew and dream. It opens with love reflected between two people: your love smiles in loving eyes, and on the breeze of loving thoughts the heart floats near and far. Everything is possibility, the dream about to take flight on a first-blossom wish, life about to overflow simply from being close to the beloved.

The refrain gives the song its title and its spell: a wanton moon, nura sadak, rises wrapped in the night’s mist and, whispering its secrets, steals away the singer’s feelings. Around it the imagery blooms, dewdrops opening in the cool, memory wandering wrapped around the beloved’s heart, a love-song heard hidden in the breeze, the night-lotus opening and brimming with fragrance until life itself feels made new.

The last movement lifts the lovers skyward. They set off on a journey down the path the celestial maidens came, toward a field of star-flowers across the galaxy; a new dream comes true, and on a golden-swan lake the hour itself seems to dance. Diving into the flood of love, life overflows in the closeness they have found. Sung by two of Sri Lanka’s most popular voices, it is a dreamy, elated celebration of a love that turns an ordinary night into something cosmic and enchanted.
