Atheetha Samarum Lyrics Singlish
Mage atheetha samarum athare
Obe nama ihalinma liyawilaa
Jeewana gamane karadara ekka
Biduwak amathaka unaata
Amathakama noweewee
Mathakayata yali eewee
Edaa apa aa giya thanwala
Hadudeduu sinaasunu thanwala
Nawathilaa innata nolabunath
Obe mathakaya geethayak se
Hitata idahita daneewee
Nethata kadulak nageewee
Jeewithaye koyiyam ho dawasaka
Hamuwelaa lanwelaa innata
Hithakwath dan nothibunath
Obe mathakaya heenayak se
Warin wara maa daawaawee
Himin with yali niwaaweeඅතීත සැමරුම් ගී පද
මගේ අතීත සැමරුම් අතරේ
ඔබේ නම ඉහලින්ම ලියවිලා
ජීවන ගමනේ කරදර එක්ක
බිදුවක් අමතක උනාට
අමතකම නොවේවී
මතකයට යළි ඒවී
එදා අප ආ ගිය තැන්වල
හැඩුදෙඩූ සිනාසුනු තැන්වල
නැවතිලා ඉන්නට නොලැබුනත්
ඔබේ මතකය ගීතයක් සේ
හිතට ඉදහිට දැනේවී
නෙතට කදුලක් නැගේවී
ජීවිතයේ කොයියම් හෝ දවසක
හමුවෙලා ළංවෙලා ඉන්නට
හිතක්වත් දැන් නොතිබුනත්
ඔබේ මතකය හීනයක් සේ
වරින් වර මා දාවාවී
හිමින් විත් යලි නිවාවීAtheetha Samarum Lyrics English Translation
Among my memories of the past,
your name is written at the very top,
and though, with the troubles of life’s journey,
a little of it was forgotten,
it will never be forgotten,
it will come back to memory again
The places we came and went in those days,
the places we wept and laughed and smiled,
though we never got to stay in them,
your memory, like a song,
is felt in the heart now and then,
and a tear rises to the eye
Some day, at some point in this life,
though there is now not even a heart left
to meet and grow close again,
your memory, like a dream,
scorches me from time to time,
then comes softly and cools me once more

Atheetha Samarum Song Meaning and Interpretation
A gentle song of nostalgia and enduring memory. Among all his memories of the past, the singer says, your name is written at the very top. Life’s journey and its troubles may have blurred a little of it, but he insists it will never truly be forgotten, it always comes back to him.
The middle revisits the shared places, the places we came and went, where they wept and laughed and smiled. They never got to stay there, or stay together, and so now her memory returns like a song, felt in the heart every now and then, always bringing a tear to the eye.
The close is quietly resigned but tender. Some day in this life, he admits, there is now not even a heart left to meet and grow close again, the relationship is truly over. Yet her memory lingers like a dream that scorches me from time to time, then comes softly and cools me once more, pain and comfort in the same breath. Sung by Geeth Peramuna to words by Lakshantha Chinthaka, composed by Tharindu Damsara, it is a tender song about a name kept at the top of the heart, a love long gone that memory keeps quietly alive.
