Mathakayan Obe Lyrics Singlish
Mathakayan obe sithe thabagena
duk vindina mama obage palamu pemwatha
suwanda podata pawa obe pem karana
(adathath mama obage palamu pemwatha...//)
(sinasenna noheki nam mata handannata...//)
Oba langamai hemadamat kamathi innata
imu kandulali gala yanna yanathuruwath mata
ida dennako obage langama innata
mathakayan obe sithe thabagena
duk vindina mama obage palamu pemwatha
(sarasawanna jeewithaya mata hemadata...//)
obe hadin ma labu e kulundul pema
jeewithayama waradala giemuth pawata
wenasak na adaraye mama thaw obata
mathakayan obe....මතකයන් ඔබේ ගී පද
මතකයන් ඔබේ සිතේ තබාගෙන
දුක් විඳිනා මම ඔබගේ පළමු පෙම්වතා
සුවඳ පොදට පවා ඔබ පෙම් කරනා
(අදටත් මම ඔබගේ පළමු පෙම්වතා...//)
(සිනාසෙන්න නොහැකී නම් මට හඬන්නට...//)
ඔබ ළඟමයි හැමදාමත් කැමති ඉන්නට
ඉමු කඳුළැලි ගලා යන්න යනතුරුවත් මට
ඉඩ දෙන්නකො ඔබගේ ළඟම ඉන්නට
මතකයන් ඔබේ සිතේ තබාගෙන
දුක් විඳිනා මම ඔබගේ පළමු පෙම්වතා
(සරසවන්න ජීවිතය මට හැමදාට...//)
ඔබේ හදින් මා ලැබු ඒ කුළුඳුල් පෙම
ජීවිතයම වරදාලා ගියෙමුත් පවට
වෙනසක් නෑ ආදරයේ මම තව ඔබට
මතකයන් ඔබේ....Mathakayan Obe Lyrics English Translation
I carry the memories of you in my heart
Suffering in silence, I am your first love
You even loved the fragrance of flowers
(Even today, I remain your first love)
(If you can’t smile, then let me cry)
You are always near, always wanting to be close
Even if tears continue to fall from these eyes
Please just let me stay near you
I carry the memories of you in my heart
Suffering in silence, I am your first love
(May life be adorned for me, always)
That gentle love I received from your heart
Even though life went astray, lost in fate
My love for you remains unchanged
I carry the memories of you…

Mathakayan Obe Song Meaning and Interpretation
This song is a quiet heartbreak laid bare. In “Mathakayan Obe,” the speaker holds onto memories of a love that once was – one that shaped his very identity. He speaks not as someone who has simply loved, but as someone who was the first to love her, and that role still matters to him. It’s not just a memory. It’s a presence that lingers.
The song gently weaves the pain of separation with the sweetness of remembrance. He doesn’t ask to be loved again. He only asks to be near, to be allowed to stay in her orbit, even if it’s through silent suffering. There’s a depth of selflessness in his love – even her inability to smile becomes something he wishes to carry for her, through his own tears.
What makes this song powerful is its simplicity. It doesn’t dramatize heartbreak. Instead, it accepts it as a part of life – something you live with, something you don’t try to erase. Even though life has taken them in different directions, and even though fate has played its hand, the love remains, unchanged and unyielding.
There’s a universal feeling here – the kind of longing that doesn’t scream, but quietly exists in the corners of memory. It’s about the kind of love that shapes who you are and stays with you, no matter how much time passes or how far the other person goes.
“Mathakayan Obe” captures that emotion with delicate honesty. It’s not just a song about love lost. It’s about love remembered, love endured, and love that chooses not to fade, even when everything else does.
