Mage Lamada Suwa Yahanak Lyrics by Priya Sooriyasena

I wish to build a peaceful resting place at the center of my heart for you,
And I’ve been waiting across lifetimes, holding onto that hope.
In that resting place, you will relax as soft melodies of bees gently hum,
In a beautiful world, the two of us might one day be left alone.

Dream-bringing princess, don’t enter her world.
Don’t deceive her and take her away, princess.

I wish to build a peaceful resting place at the center of my heart…

In this world that belongs to us, we carry a heart full of gentle joy,
How lucky I am to have you beside me for eternity, through every lifetime.

I wish to build a peaceful resting place at the center of my heart…

The song is a heartfelt wish to build a peaceful and loving life together with someone special – a dream of eternal companionship. The singer imagines creating a gentle resting place (a soothing bed or sanctuary) at the center of their heart for their beloved, as a symbol of lifelong love and comfort.

They speak of waiting for this love not just in this lifetime, but across many lives, as if their souls have always been searching for each other. In that shared space of love, even bees would hum sweet melodies – everything becomes gentle, soft, and serene. Yet there’s a bittersweet note: in that beautiful world they build together, they may still end up alone someday, perhaps suggesting the inevitable passage of time or fate.

Then, there’s a shift. The singer warns a dreamlike princess – a symbol of temptation or distraction – not to enter their world or mislead their partner. It’s a plea to protect the bond they already have and not let outside illusions destroy it.

The final lines reaffirm the dream: to live together in this world that they are meant to share, holding onto love, happiness, and destiny – side by side, for all time.

It’s a romantic, emotional song layered with devotion, longing, and a touch of spiritual depth – about choosing love, guarding it, and dreaming of a forever together.
