Aganthuka Manamali Lyrics Singlish
Aaganthuka manamaali
Sinaha dewee
Nupurudu poru masthake
Hurupurudu premawanthiye
Puhunu sasiyedi wunu
Mathaka awulaa ganumane
Uyan thera hamuwelaa
Mewage numba hinahilaa
Mage nethe numbe roo thiyaa
Maa dewure numba hangunaa
Numba langin hida mawuu
Heena podi wisirunaa
Nalal thala siba sanasuu
Mage dethol wiyalunaaආගන්තුක මනමාලි ගී පද
ආගන්තුක මනමාලි
සිනහ දේවී
නුපුරුදු පෝරු මස්තකේ
හුරුපුරුදු ප්රේමවන්තියේ
පුහුනු සැසියෙදී වුනු
මතක අවුලා ගනුමැනේ
උයන් තෙර හමුවෙලා
මේවගේ නුඹ හිනැහිලා
මගෙ නෙතේ නුඹේ රූ තියා
මා දෙවුරෙ නුඹ හැංගුනා
නුඹ ළඟින් හිද මැවූ
හීන පොදි විසිරුනා
නළල් තල සිඹ සැනසූ
මගෙ දෙතොල් වියලුනාAganthuka Manamali Lyrics English Translation
O stranger bride,
smiling goddess,
on the unfamiliar height of the wedding platform,
o my familiar, well-loved beloved,
please gather up again the memories
we made in the rehearsal, that day
We met at the garden’s edge,
you smiled just like this,
keeping your image in my eye,
you hid against my shoulder
The little bundle of dreams
we made, sitting close to you, scattered,
kissing your brow gave me comfort,
and my two lips went dry

Aganthuka Manamali Song Meaning and Interpretation
A tender wedding-day love song, sung to a bride who is, beautifully, two people at once: aaganthuka manamaali, a stranger bride, formal and new atop the unfamiliar poruwa (the decorated wedding platform), and yet hurupurudu premawanthiye, the familiar, long-loved sweetheart he already knows. He gently asks her to gather up, even now, the memories they made together at the wedding rehearsal, the private warmth beneath the public ceremony.
The middle drops into remembered tenderness. They first met at the garden’s edge, where she smiled just as she is smiling now; he kept her image in his eye, and she hid shyly against his shoulder. It is the ordinary, precious history the two of them carry into this grand, unfamiliar day.
The last verse holds the day’s mix of joy and nervous emotion. The little bundle of dreams they built sitting close together seems to scatter in the moment; kissing her brow soothes him, and yet his lips go dry, the flutter of a man overwhelmed at the altar. Sung by Randula Jayasuriya, composed and written by Tharindu Damsara, it is a warm song about marrying the person you already love, and watching them become, for one solemn moment, a radiant stranger.
