දුර ඈත ජීවිතේ
පිපි සේ අවාරයේ
ඒ ආදරේ සැලේ
වේදනා මාරුතේ..//
මා ඒ අතීතයේ
ඈ හා මුලාවෙලා..//
පිදු ඒ ස්නේහයේ
සිත මා බිඳී තියේ
දුර ඈත ජීවිතේ
පිපි සේ අවාරයේ
ඒ ආදරේ සැලේ
වේදනා මාරුතේ
දෑසේ වෙලී ඔබේ
ආරාධනා මැවේ..//
මසිතේ ගලා හැලේ
සිහිනේ අතීතයේ
දුර ඈත ජීවිතේ
පිපි සේ අවාරයේ
ඒ ආදරේ සැලේ
වේදනා මාරුතේDura Atha Jeewithe Lyrics English Translation
In a life far, far away,
like a flower bloomed out of season,
that love sways
in a wind of pain..//
I, in that past,
was deluded, together with her..//
in the love I offered up,
my heart lies broken
In a life far, far away,
like a flower bloomed out of season,
that love sways
in a wind of pain
Wound into your eyes,
invitations take shape..//
they flow and spill through my mind,
in a dream of the past
In a life far, far away,
like a flower bloomed out of season,
that love sways
in a wind of pain

Dura Atha Jeewithe Song Meaning and Interpretation
A wistful, delicate song about a love that lives now only in a distant past. It opens with a single sustained image: in a life far, far away, a love that bloomed like a flower out of season, beautiful but ill-timed, and now sways helplessly in a wind of pain. The whole song has the fragile feel of something lovely that came at the wrong moment.
The middle names the loss plainly. Back in that past, the singer was deluded, together with her, caught up in a love that felt complete; but in the love I offered up, he says, my heart lies broken. Devotion given fully, and a heart shattered for it.
The close shows how the memory keeps returning uninvited. Wound into your eyes, invitations take shape, her remembered gaze still seems to call to him, and it flows and spills through my mind, in a dream of the past. He cannot stop reliving it. Sung by Lakshman Wijesekara to words by Kularatne Ariyawansa, composed by Y.M. Sumanasiri, it is a soft, sorrowful song about an out-of-season love, long gone and far away, that still sways painfully through the dreams of the one left behind.
