Mihiri Naththale Lyrics
Mihiri naththale - seetha denenne
Saame bedanne - Jesu awith ne
Lowa pibidenne - bathi bara upadinne
Sathuta bedanne - Jesu awith ne
Dore galana senehasa laga Jesu ipadilaa
Duppathkama rajawena e dawasa awillaa
Lowa pibidenne - bathi bara upadinne
Sathuta bedanne - Jesu awith ne
Bethlehemme tharuwaki eliyayi diswuuye
E eliyayi yana maga apa hata pennuuye
Lowa pibidenne - bathi bara upadinne
Sathuta bedanne - Jesu awith ne
Mihiri naththale - seetha denenne
Saame bedanne - Jesu awith ne
Lowa pibidenne - bathi bara upadinne
Sathuta bedanne - Jesu awith neමිහිරි නත්තලේ ගී පද
මිහිරි නත්තලේ - සීත දැනෙන්නේ
සාමේ බෙදන්නේ -ජේසු ඇවිත් නේ
ලොව පිබිදෙන්නේ - බැති බර උපදින්නේ
සතුට බෙදන්නේ - ජේසු ඇවිත් නේ
දොරේ ගලන සෙනහස ළඟ ජේසු ඉපදිලා
දුප්පත්කම රජවෙන ඒ දවස ඇවිල්ල
ලොව පිබිදෙන්නේ - බැති බර උපදින්නේ
සතුට බෙදන්නේ - ජේසු ඇවිත් නේ
බෙත්ලෙහෙමේ තරුවකි එළියයි දිස්වූයේ
ඒ එළියයි යන මග අප හට පෙන්වුයේ
ලොව පිබිදෙන්නේ - බැති බර උපදින්නේ
සතුට බෙදන්නේ - ජේසු ඇවිත් නේ
මිහිරි නත්තලේ - සීත දැනෙන්නේ
සාමේ බෙදන්නේ -ජේසු ඇවිත් නේ
ලොව පිබිදෙන්නේ - බැති බර උපදින්නේ
සතුට බෙදන්නේ - ජේසු ඇවිත් නේMihiri Naththale Lyrics English Translation
On sweet Christmas, the cold is felt,
sharing peace, Jesus has come
The world awakens, devotion is born,
sharing joy, Jesus has come
By the love that overflows at the door, Jesus was born,
the day that makes poverty a king has come
The world awakens, devotion is born,
sharing joy, Jesus has come
A star in Bethlehem was the light that appeared,
that light is what showed us the road to walk
The world awakens, devotion is born,
sharing joy, Jesus has come
On sweet Christmas, the cold is felt,
sharing peace, Jesus has come
The world awakens, devotion is born,
sharing joy, Jesus has come

Mihiri Naththale Song Meaning and Interpretation
A warm, simple Christmas carol built around one glad announcement, Jesus has come. On sweet Christmas, in the felt cold, peace and joy are shared; the world awakens, and devotion is born. Every couplet returns to that arrival as the source of all the season’s gladness.
The middle finds the meaning in humility. By the love that overflows at the door, Jesus was born, and, in the carol’s loveliest line, the day that makes poverty a king has come. The birth in poverty is not a lack but a crowning, the lowly lifted up.
The close turns to guidance. A star in Bethlehem was the light that appeared, and that light is what showed us the road to walk. The star is not just a wonder over a manger but a direction for everyone. Sung by Chaminda Silva (a Marians original) to words and music by Theja Iddamalgoda, it is a gentle, joyful carol about the peace, devotion and quiet exaltation that come with the birth of Jesus.
