Adare Kathawak Lyrics Singlish
Nokiyanaa kathaawak hadawathe hangilaa
Aadare rataawan deneth aga liyawilaa
Api ape wunu saendaakare ath patalawuu mal maawathe
Sihina malkam akurin numba liyuu ape aadare kathandare
Kiyanawada aadare sawanatha kondaralaa
Hoyanawada unuhumak mage hadata langwelaa
Ahanawada senehase tharama thawa wimasalaa
Innawada sadaakal magema witharak welaa
Sihinaye maa welaalaa paata gaa hada balaalaa
Numba thanayi sihina maalige hemi hemin lagata langwelaa
Jeewithaya matama dun numba namata liyawilaa

නොකියනා කතාවක් හදවතේ හැංගිලා
ආදරේ රටාවන් දෙනෙත් අග ලියවිලා
අපි අපේ වුනු සැන්දෑකරේ අත් පටලවූ මල් මාවතේ
සිහින මල්කම් අකුරින් නුඹ ලියූ අපෙ ආදරේ කතන්දරේ
කියනවද ආදරේ සවනතට කොදුරලා
හොයනවද උණුහුමක් මගෙ හදට ලංවෙලා
අහනවද සෙනෙහසේ තරම තව විමසලා
ඉන්නවද සදාකල් මගෙම විතරක් වෙලා
සිහිනයේ මා වෙලාලා පාට ගා හැඩ බලාලා
නුඹ තනයි සිහින මාලිගේ හෙමි හෙමින් ලගට ලංවෙලා
ජීවිතය මටම දුන් නුඹ නමට ලියවිලා
ආදරෙන් ඉන්නෙමී නුඹ ලගට ලංවෙලා
ඈතකට නොමයමී කිසිදිනෙක පියඹලා
අහම්බෙන් මට ලැබුනු නුඹෙම වෙමි දිවිතුරා
සිහිනයේ මා වෙලාලා පාට ගා හැඩ බලාලා
නුඹ තනයි සිහින මාලිගේ හෙමි හෙමින් ලගට ලංවෙලාAdare Kathawak Lyrics English Translation
An untold story, hidden away in the heart,
patterns of love written at the corners of the eyes,
on the evening we became our own, on the flower-path where hands entwined,
you wrote dream-blossoms in letters, our story of love
Do you whisper love, softly, to the ear?
do you seek a warmth, drawing close to my heart?
do you ask again, testing, the depth of affection?
will you stay forever, mine and mine alone?
Wrapping me in a dream, colouring it, admiring its shape,
you build a dream-palace, slowly, slowly drawing near
You who gave me my very life, now written into your name,
I will live on in love, drawn close to you,
I will never fly off, far away, on any day,
by pure chance you were given to me, and I am yours for life
Wrapping me in a dream, colouring it, admiring its shape,
you build a dream-palace, slowly, slowly drawing near

Adare Kathawak Song Meaning and Interpretation
A warm, devoted love song about a love that began quietly and now feels like destiny. It opens on an untold story, hidden away in the heart, and patterns of love written at the corners of the eyes, feelings shown in glances long before they were spoken. On the evening we became our own, hand in hand on a flower-path, you wrote dream-blossoms in letters, our story of love.
The middle is a string of tender questions, the small reassurances lovers seek. Do you whisper love to my ear? do you seek warmth close to my heart? do you keep testing the depth of my affection? and, above all, will you stay forever, mine and mine alone? It is love wanting, gently, to be certain of itself.
The close is a vow. To the one who gave me my very life, now written into your name, the singer promises: I will live on in love, drawn close to you, and I will never fly off, far away, on any day. What came by pure chance, she says, she will hold for life. Sung by Hansinee Wimalsiri, it is a tender, wholehearted love song about a quiet love grown into lifelong devotion, and the sweet certainty of belonging wholly to each other.
