Sigiri Sukumaliye Lyrics

Sigiri beauty, from the time of Sinhala kings
Do you remember how we drifted in the river of eternal love?
Your graceful form captured both my eyes and heart
Your name echoes across Sri Lanka
Because it is you – beautiful one

With your hands you carried flowers, brushing through beams of sunlight
Delicate silks adorned you, scented with fine perfume
You scattered petals of blue lotus and opened the view before us
In love, those moments still live in my eyes
Now turned to memories

Sigiri beauty…

Your beauty hasn’t faded, even as time passed
You were admired by all eyes, and hearts found peace
A poem was written, with verses strung together
And in that rhythm, I now sing this golden song
To complete your image

Sigiri beauty…

“Sigiri Sukumaliye” is a romantic tribute to a graceful woman from the era of Sri Lanka’s ancient kings – possibly a muse from the time of Sigiriya. The singer recalls a deep and gentle love that once flowed like a quiet river, marked by her unmatched beauty that captivated both eyes and heart.

In the first verse, she is described as a radiant figure from the days of kings, with her name echoing across the land. Her charm isn’t just physical – it carries the spirit of Sri Lanka itself. This memory is not fleeting; it’s as if her presence has become part of the country’s very soul.

The second verse paints a vivid image of her walking through the gardens, gently touching flowers, wearing soft, elegant garments. She’s like a vision – graceful and serene – surrounded by petals and beauty, offering a moment of peace and love in a world that often rushes past.

By the final verse, time has passed. She’s no longer seen, but her image lingers in the mind and in the hearts of those who beheld her. Her memory lives on through verses, poetry, and song – becoming a symbol of golden-era love that artists still celebrate today.
