Bo Pathak Lyrics Singlish
Bo pathak se sisila dee..
Sa kothak se eliya wee..
Mang mulaa wuu sansaara saagaraye..
Mata pradeepaagaarayak
Wee nam numbayi ape amme..
Ahimi kanimandal daraagena
Dewra matha wahalak
Waraa malakudu pahasa nopathuu
Numbawa mata amme..
Puraa sanda mandalak
Sadaathana aruthak udaakala
Soduru maha pirithak
Samaadhiya thun sithama ithiruu
Numbawa mata amme..
Amaa diwa mathurak
Siyalu mawwarun hata upahaarayakma wewa!බෝ පතක් ගී පද
බෝ පතක් සේ සිසිල දී..
සෑ කොතක් සේ එළිය වී..
මං මුලා වූ සංසාර සාගරයේ..
මට ප්රදීපාගාරයක්
වී නම් නුඹයි අපේ අම්මේ..
අහිමි කැණිමඬල;් දරාගෙන
දෙව්ර මත වහලක්
වරා මලකුදු පහස නොපැතූ
නුඹව මට අම්මේ..
පුරා සඳ මඬලක්
සදාතන අරුතක් උදාකළ
සොඳුරු මහ පිරිතක්
සමාධිය තුන් සිතම ඉතිරූ
නුඹව මට අම්මේ..
අමා දිව මතුරක්
සියලු මව්වරුන් හට උපහාරයක්ම වේවා!Bo Pathak Lyrics English Translation
Giving coolness like a bo-leaf..
shining like the pinnacle of a stupa..
in the samsaric ocean where I lost my way,
if there was a lighthouse for me,
that was you, our mother..
Bearing a lost jewel-orb,
a roof upon your shoulders,
you who never sought so much as the touch of a boon-flower,
you are, to me, mother..
a full disc of the moon
You who dawned an eternal meaning,
a lovely great pirith-chant,
overflowing all three states of mind with serene calm,
you are, to me, mother..
a spell of the nectar of the deathless
May this be a tribute to all mothers!

Bo Pathak Song Meaning and Interpretation
A reverent, image-rich tribute to a mother, cast almost as a sacred refuge. She gives coolness like a bo-leaf (the sacred fig), shines like the pinnacle of a stupa, and, in the samsaric ocean where I lost my way, she was a lighthouse for me. From the first lines the mother is holy ground and guiding light at once.
The middle honours her selfless sacrifice. Bearing a lost jewel-orb, a roof upon her shoulders, she never sought so much as the touch of a boon-flower, never asked anything for herself, and to the child she is a full disc of the moon, complete and luminous.
The close piles up sacred metaphors. She dawned an eternal meaning, she is a lovely great pirith-chant, a protective Buddhist recitation, overflowing all three states of mind with serene calm, and a spell of the nectar of the deathless (amrita). The song ends dedicated, may this be a tribute to all mothers. Sung by Harshana Disanayake, it is a devout, luminous tribute that treats a mother as a lighthouse, a moon, and a sacred chant, the holiest refuge a child could have.
