(Sanda ek dinak taru haa bindi
Vimasa bala andure randi
Taru vel itin taniwi sitin
Sitiyaa bala sanda ey kiyaa //)
Sanda ek dinak taru haa bindi
Apa athare mathu sasare sitha lan wewaa
Nosali hamu wewaa
Atha atha lowa bala yamu piyasi
Sanda ek dinak ../
Oba enne kawadado sitha vimasanne maga balamin inne
Atha atha lowa bala yamu piyasi
Sanda ek dinak ..//One day, the moon shattered with the stars
Searching, waiting, lost in the dark
The stars hung lonely on silent vines
Still they waited, whispering, “The moon will return…”
One day, the moon shattered with the stars…
May our hearts be bound in the next life
Unshaken, may we meet again
Let’s look beyond this world and take flight together
One day, the moon shattered with the stars…
When will you return? I keep wondering
Eyes fixed on the road, hoping to see you
Let’s look beyond this world and take flight together
One day, the moon shattered with the stars…
“Sanda Ek Dinak” is a deeply sentimental song about separation, longing, and hope – all framed in celestial imagery. The moon and stars, often symbols of love and connection, are used here to express heartbreak. The moon has disappeared, the stars are broken, and the night feels incomplete – just like the singer’s world without their loved one.
But the heart of the song lies in its quiet resilience. Even in darkness, there’s belief. The stars wait for the moon. The soul dreams of reuniting, if not in this life, then in another. It’s about love that transcends time and space, and the deep, patient yearning that remains even when everything else falls apart.
Clarence captures the stillness of that wait and the depth of that love with a haunting simplicity that lingers long after the song ends.
