Nathara Wunu Gangakda Jiwithe Lyrics Singlish
Nathara wunu gangakda jeewithe
Gal gahuna malakda aadare
Ganga heen sare basa yayi
Mala himin himin pibideyi
Aththamayi yaaluwe
Rala naganna denna gangata
Ganga dewi obe muwangata hasaral
Oba hinaawenna denna malata
Mala dewi athata ronsunu noindul
Ada halenna denna gangata
Ganga natayi rusiru diyaali wannam
Parawenna denna epaa malata
Raka ganna sadaa premaya manaramනතර වුණු ගඟක්ද ජීවිතේ ගී පද
නතර වුණු ගඟක්ද ජීවිතේ
ගල් ගැහුණු මලක්ද ආදරේ
ගඟ හීන් සැරේ බැස යයි
මල හිමින් හිමින් පිබිදෙයි
ඇත්තමයි යාළුවේ
රළ නගන්න දෙන්න ගඟට
ගඟ දේවි ඔබේ මුවඟට හසරැල්
ඔබ හිනාවෙන්න දෙන්න මලට
මල දේවි අතට රොන්සුණු නොඉඳුල්
ඇද හැලෙන්න දෙන්න ගඟට
ගඟ නටයි රුසිරු දියඇලි වන්නම්
පරවෙන්න දෙන්න එපා මලට
රැක ගන්න සදා ප්රේමය මනරම්Nathara Wunu Gangakda Jiwithe Lyrics English Translation
Is life a river that has stopped?
is love a flower turned to stone?
the river flows down in a fine, thin thread,
the flower slowly, slowly opens,
it’s true, my friend
Let the river raise its waves,
o river-goddess, bring a smile to the corner of your lips,
let the flower smile,
o flower-goddess, into the hand, untouched pollen-dust
Let the river tumble and fall,
the river dances a beautiful waterfall-dance,
don’t let the flower wither,
guard forever, this lovely love

Nathara Wunu Gangakda Jiwithe Song Meaning and Interpretation
A gentle, philosophical song that questions whether life and love have stalled, and answers with quiet hope. Is life a river that has stopped? is love a flower turned to stone?, the two despairing questions open it. But the reply is soft and sure: the river still flows down in a fine, thin thread, and the flower slowly, slowly opens. It’s true, my friend, neither has really died.
The middle is a tender exhortation, addressing the river and the flower as goddesses. Let the river raise its waves, and bring a smile to the corner of your lips; let the flower smile, offering untouched pollen-dust into the hand. It coaxes life and beauty back into motion, gently urging them not to hold back.
The close turns that coaxing into a vow to protect. Let the river tumble and fall, where the river dances a beautiful waterfall-dance; but don’t let the flower wither, guard forever, this lovely love. Sung by Harshana Disanayake to words by the poet Rathna Shri Wijesinghe, it is a lyrical, hopeful song that answers despair, a stopped river, a stone flower, with the insistence that life still flows and love, if guarded, still blooms.
