Sarungaley Lyrics Singlish
Sarungale..
Aadara pawanayi sithmala popiyayi
Jeewitha katharayi baadhaka pawurayi
Premaya sasalayi hadawila kalambeyi
Pawane harayayi nilambara paaweyi
Kaalaya gathawee delowaka thaniwee
Wiyaru basin asan
Kawudo numba..sarungale
Daasath bandunaa muwamala dutudaa
Aalaya galuwaa hadawila uthuraa
Aalaya pathuwe raagaya thawaraa
Numba na kisidaa sithuwili athagaa
Kaalaya gathawee delowaka thaniwee
Wiyaru basin asan

Maa sitha numba langa kima maa amathaka
Paaluwa thanikama paarayi maa netha
Hadawatha paarana atheeta andara
Pawasayi numba hitha paarapu andama

සරුංගලේ..
ආදර පවනයි සිත්මල පොපියයි
ජීවිත කතරයි බාධක පවුරයි
ප්‍රේමය සසලයි හදවිල කැළඹෙයි
පවනේ හැරයයි නිලඹර පාවෙයි
කාලය ගතවී දෙලොවක තනිවී
වියරු බසින් අසන්
කවුදෝ නුඹ..සරුංගලේ
දෑසත් බැඳුනා මුවමල දුටුදා
ආලය ගැලුවා හදවිල උතුරා
ආලය පැතුවේ රාගය තවරා
නුඹ නෑ කිසිදා සිතුවිලි අතගා
කාලය ගතවී දෙලොවක තනිවී
වියරු බසින් අසන්
කවුදෝ නුඹ..සරුංගලේ
මා සිත නුඹ ළඟ කිම මා අමතක
පාළුව තනිකම පාරයි මා නෙත
හදවත පාරන අතීත අන්දර
පවසයි නුඹ හිත පාරපු අන්දම
කවුදෝ නුඹ..සරුංගලේSarungaley Lyrics English Translation
O kite..
The wind of love, and the heart-flower bursts into bloom,
life is a desert, and its obstacles a fortress wall
Love trembles, the lake of the heart is stirred,
it lets go into the wind and floats in the blue sky
Time has passed, left alone in both worlds,
I ask in mad, raving words,
who are you.. o kite
My eyes were bound the day I saw the flower of your face,
love overflowed and brimmed over the lake of the heart
Love longed, smeared over with passion,
but you were never there, however I searched my thoughts
Time has passed, left alone in both worlds,
I ask in mad, raving words,
who are you.. o kite
My heart is right beside you, so why have I forgotten myself?
emptiness and loneliness keep wounding my eyes
The old tales that scrape the heart raw
tell of just how you scratched it,
who are you.. o kite

Sarungaley Song Meaning and Interpretation
A wistful, poetic song that turns an elusive love into a sarungale, a kite, something you hold by a thread and yet that drifts and tugs, always half out of reach. It opens with love as spring and hardship together: the wind of love makes the heart-flower burst open, even as life is called a desert and its troubles a fortress wall. Love trembles, stirs the lake of the heart, and then simply releases into the wind and floats off into the blue.
The refrain is the ache of not knowing what this love even was: time has passed, the singer is left alone in both worlds, and can only ask, in mad, raving words, who are you, o kite? He remembers his eyes being bound the day he first saw the flower of her face, love brimming over the lake of the heart, longing smeared with desire, and then the cruel truth: you were never really there, however hard I searched my own thoughts.
The close deepens the confusion of a love that hurt. My heart is right beside you, he says, so why have I lost myself? Emptiness and loneliness keep wounding him, and the old, heart-scraping memories only remind him of how she scratched his heart. He ends where he began, holding the string of a kite he can neither reel in nor understand: who are you, o kite? Sung by Ridma Weerawardena and Ranga Weerasekara with Nipuni Herath, to words by Savindra Madushan, it is a haunting song about a love that stays forever aloft and unknowable, beautiful, painful and just out of grasp.
