Ran Yaye Lyrics Singlish
Seetha raeka maage daatha e mudu daathe bandunaawe
Aetha loke prema geetha maa sitha welunaawe
Neela daase aadareka mal madahaase bandunaawe
Waasanaawe chethanaawa mal pala ganunaawe
Ran yaaye..
Prema daamaye welenna ae koyi lowakin aawaado
Maa hangum washee karanna e gee gayuwaado
Meewithe amaa howaalaa ae maa surathe thabuwaado
Aadare soyaalaa aawa ae sura anganak do
Ran yaaye ridee nimne
Age ruwa paawenne
E daase ridee rekhaa
Maa netha yaa wenneරන් යායේ ගී පද
සීත රෑක මාගේ දෑත ඒ මුදු දෑතේ බැඳුනාවේ
ඈත ලෝකේ ප්‍රේම ගීත මා සිත වෙළුනාවේ
නීල දෑසේ ආදරේක මල් මදහාසේ බැඳුනාවේ
වාසනාවේ චේතනාව මල් පල ගැනුනාවේ
රන් යායේ..
ප්‍රේම දාමයේ වෙලෙන්න ඈ කොයි ලොවකින් ආවාදෝ
මා හැඟුම් වශී කරන්න ඒ ගී ගැයුවාදෝ
මීවිතේ අමා හොවාලා ඈ මා සුරතේ තැබුවාදෝ
ආදරේ සොයාලා ආව ඈ සුර අඟනක් දෝ
රන් යායේ රිදී නිම්නේ
ඇගේ රුව පාවෙන්නේ
ඒ දෑසේ රිදී රේඛා
මා නෙත යා වෙන්නේRan Yaye Lyrics English Translation
On a cold night my hand was bound to those soft hands,
the love-songs of a far-off world wrapped around my heart,
in blue eyes, the flower-smile of a love was bound,
and by fortune’s own intention, flower and fruit were gained
In the golden field..
To be entwined in the chain of love, from what world did she come?
did she sing that song to bewitch my feelings?
laying nectar-honey in my palm, did she place it in my hand?
was she a celestial maiden, come in search of love?
In the golden field, the silver vale,
her beauty comes floating,
and in those eyes, the lines of silver
meet and join with my own gaze

Ran Yaye Song Meaning and Interpretation
A tender, wondering love song about a night that felt like fate. On a cold night, the singer recalls, his hand was bound to a pair of soft hands, and the love-songs of a far-off world wrapped around his heart; in her blue eyes a love’s flower-smile took hold, and, by fortune’s own intention, flower turned to fruit, the meeting bore real love. The whole verse has the hush of something meant to be.
The refrain, ran yaaye, in the golden field, opens onto a run of awed questions. To become entwined in love’s chain, from what world did she come? Did she sing that song deliberately to bewitch him? Did she place nectar-honey in his palm? Was she, perhaps, a sura anganak, a celestial maiden, come down in search of love? He can hardly believe an ordinary woman could feel so heaven-sent.
The close is a single shimmering image. In the golden field, the silver vale, her beauty comes floating toward him, and in her eyes lines of silver meet and join with his own gaze, two people’s eyes locking as love passes between them. Sung by Rookantha Goonatillake to words by Hemasiri Halpita, it is a soft, romantic song about a love that arrives on a cold night feeling less like chance than like a gift from the heavens.
