Senehasa Gala Giya Lyrics Singlish
Senehasa galaa giyaa
Mata aadare nisaa
Rudhiraya galaa giyaa
Mage paw bara nisaa.
Samiduni oba maa gana sithannata,
Maa sathu watinaakama kimado?
Sithaaganna ba dewiduni maa hata,
Metharam oba aadareyi kiyaa
Metharam oba aadareyi kiyaa
Oba maw samade matama baara dee,
Yatath karannata maa kawdo?
Sathsamudura sama sathun kere,
Adhipathikama dun samide,
Balaya dunnu dewide
Senehasa galaa giyaa
Mata aadare nisaa
Rudhiraya galaa giyaa
Mage paw bara nisaaසෙනෙහස ගලා ගියා ගී පද
සෙනෙහස ගලා ගියා
මට ආදරේ නිසා
රුධිරය ගලා ගියා
මගෙ පව් බර නිසා.
සමිඳුනි ඔබ මා ගැන සිතන්නට,
මා සතු වටිනාකම කිමදෝ ?
සිතාගන්න බෑ දෙවිඳුනි මා හට,
මෙතරම් ඔබ ආදරෙයි කියා
මෙතරම් ඔබ ආදරෙයි කියා
ඔබ මැව් සැමදේ මටම බාර දී,
යටත් කරන්නට මා කව්දෝ ?
සත්සමුදුර සැම සතුන් කෙරේ,
අධිපතිකම දුන් සමිඳේ,
බලය දුන්නු දෙවිඳේ
සෙනෙහස ගලා ගියා
මට ආදරේ නිසා
රුධිරය ගලා ගියා
මගෙ පව් බර නිසාSenehasa Gala Giya Lyrics English Translation
Love flowed out
because you loved me
blood flowed out
because of my burden of sin
Lord, for you to think of me at all,
what is the worth that I possess?
I cannot begin to grasp it, my God,
that you would love me this much
that you would love me this much
You handed over to me all that you made,
yet who am I to have it placed under my rule?
Over the seven seas and every creature,
you gave me dominion, Lord,
you gave me that power, my God
Love flowed out
because you loved me
blood flowed out
because of my burden of sin

Senehasa Gala Giya Song Meaning and Interpretation
This is a hymn of humble wonder, a believer overwhelmed that the God who made everything would love someone as small as himself. It opens by pairing two flowings: “love flowed out because you loved me,” and “blood flowed out because of my burden of sin.” God’s love and Christ’s sacrifice are set side by side, the one the reason for the other.
The heart of the song is a question drawn straight from the Psalms, where the poet, gazing at the stars, asks what human beings are that God should be mindful of them. Here the singer asks it just as personally: “Lord, for you to think of me at all, what is the worth that I possess?” And he confesses his amazement, “I cannot begin to grasp it, that you would love me this much.” The love is simply too large for him to take in.
The final verse deepens that wonder by remembering the dignity God gave humankind at creation. “You handed over to me all that you made,” “dominion over the seven seas and every creature,” and again the humbled question, “who am I to have it placed under my rule?” What the listener is left with is the sweet smallness of true worship, a person standing before a God vast enough to make and rule the world, astonished not by his own worth but by the sheer, undeserved size of being loved by such a God.
