Kaluwarata Hitha Baya Hinda Lyrics by Raini Gunathilaka

Because my heart was scared of the dark,
I felt the warmth of your chest,
you showed me spellbinding night-time dreams,
you gathered me right into your embrace

On a field of unbroken dreams, ripples of laughter surfaced
to come and rest in this heart of mine
a dream where the tears run dry, in eyes not my own,
was I stranded in some darkness…

If you feel it… if you are there…
tenderly accept this love
if it comes to your mind… if you can see it…
a love in which we could go far together

From a distance I couldn’t feel, close to you,
you came with love
joined in a way I never imagined,
a love that brings its healing

On a field of unbroken dreams, ripples of laughter surfaced
to come and rest in this heart
a dream where the tears run dry, in eyes that will not leave me,
was I stranded in some darkness…

If you feel it… if you are there…
tenderly accept this love
if it comes to your mind… if you can see it…
a love in which we could go far together

Gathering our scattered dreams together
we built a palace
a picture painted in our name
is a memory for every single day

If you feel it… if you are there…
tenderly accept this love
if it comes to your mind… if you can see it…
a love in which we could go far together //

A warm, reassuring love song about being rescued from fear by another person. It opens with a vulnerable confession: because her heart was afraid of the dark, she found the warmth of his chest, and he showed her spellbinding dreams and gathered her into his arms. Love here begins as shelter, someone who makes the dark feel safe.

The chorus is a soft, hopeful plea built on a chain of ifs: if you feel it, if you are really here, then gently accept this love; if it crosses your mind, if you can see it, then know this is a love we could carry far together. It is the tentative hope of someone who has found something real and is asking, quietly, for it to be returned.

The imagery is all dreams and building: a field of unbroken dreams where ripples of laughter surface and settle in her heart, and, at the close, the two of them gathering their scattered dreams to build a palace, a picture painted in their names that becomes a memory for every day. It is a tender song about love as safety and shared dreaming, sung by Raini Gunathilaka to words by Manuranga Wijesekara.
