Hiru Paeyu Raye Lyrics
Hiru payuu raye sandu payuu ude
E aruma dine peradaa
Mulu loka thale babalaa dilune
Oba haa maa hamuwuna daa
Hiru payuu raye sandu payuu ude
E aruma dine peradaa
Meya raya do meya dahawala do
Na danune mata e dawase
Mama aadare yanuwen edaa
Mata mulwarata danunaa
Hiru payuu raye sandu payuu ude
E aruma dine peradaa
Prema suwanda suwa me nowedo
Ath widalaa nathi kisi dawase
Pem banda wun senehe welee

හිරු පෑයූ රැයේ සඳු පෑයූ උදේ
ඒ අරුම දිනේ පෙරදා
මුළු ලෝක තලේ බබළා දිලුනේ
ඔබ හා මා හමුවුණ දා
හිරු පෑයූ රැයේ සඳු පෑයූ උදේ
ඒ අරුම දිනේ පෙරදා
මෙය රැය දෝ මෙය දහවල දෝ
නෑ දැනුනේ මට ඒ දවසේ
මම ආදරේ යනුවෙන් එදා
මට මුල්වරට දැනුනා
හිරු පෑයූ රැයේ සඳු පෑයූ උදේ
ඒ අරුම දිනේ පෙරදා
ප්රේම සුවඳ සුව මේ නොවෙදෝ
අත් විඳලා නැති කිසි දවසේ
පෙම් බැන්ද වුන් සෙනෙහේ වෙලී
ගෙවු ජීවිතේ මේ දෝ
හිරු පෑයූ රැයේ සඳු පෑයූ උදේ
ඒ අරුම දිනේ පෙරදා
මුළු ලෝක තලේ බබළා දිලුනේ
ඔබ හා මා හමුවුණ දා
හිරු පෑයූ රැයේ සඳු පෑයූ උදේ
ඒ අරුම දිනේ පෙරදාHiru Paeyu Raye Lyrics English Translation
On the night the sun shone, in the morning the moon shone,
on that wondrous day, long ago,
the whole plane of the world glowed and gleamed,
the day that you and I met
on the night the sun shone, in the morning the moon shone,
on that wondrous day, long ago
Was this night, or was this day?
I could not tell, that day,
that I was in love, on that day,
I felt for the very first time
On the night the sun shone, in the morning the moon shone,
on that wondrous day, long ago
Is this not the sweet comfort of love’s fragrance,
never once experienced on any day?
bound in love, wound in affection,
was this the life we lived out?
On the night the sun shone, in the morning the moon shone,
on that wondrous day, long ago,
the whole plane of the world glowed and gleamed,
the day that you and I met
on the night the sun shone, in the morning the moon shone,
on that wondrous day, long ago

Hiru Paeyu Raye Song Meaning and Interpretation
A radiant romantic duet about the day two people fell in love, remembered as a day so magical the very order of nature turned upside down. On the night the sun shone, in the morning the moon shone, day and night themselves swapped places, on that wondrous day, long ago, when the whole plane of the world glowed, the day you and I met.
The middle captures the disorientation of first love. Was this night, or was this day? I could not tell, that day, so overwhelmed that time itself blurred. And the heart of it: that I was in love, I felt for the very first time. A first, world-altering realization.
The close reflects on the whole life that grew from it. Is this not the sweet comfort of love’s fragrance, a joy never once experienced on any day before? and, bound in love, wound in affection, was this the life we lived out? Looking back, they see a whole shared life born from that one impossible, sun-and-moon-swapping day. Sung as a duet by Rookantha Gunathilaka and Neela Wickramasinghe to words by Ajantha Ranasinghe, it is a luminous classic about the day two people met and fell in love, so radiant it turned night into day.
