Sanda Kiranaka Lyrics Singlish
Sanda kiranaka tharu pokuraka
Dilena eliya nethe thiyenawa
Mal kakulaka naadallaka
Pahaya suwanda moone thiyenawa
Apa galawannata loketa aawata
Thuthi puda demu hada apa hada bathi bara
Pulina thala mada batalu pataw apa
Obe sarayatiye saranayi apa hata
Sanda kiranaka tharu pokuraka
Dilena eliya nethe thiyenawa
Mal kakulaka naadallaka
Pahaya suwanda moone thiyenawa
Aayeth loketa enne kawada da
Apa genayannata nawatha wadinawada
Me naththal da samaawa denawada
Samaawenna mata mage paw durukota
Sanda kiranaka tharu pokuraka
Dilena eliya nethe thiyenawa
Mal kakulaka naadallaka
Pahaya suwanda moone thiyenawa
Pahaya suwanda moone thiyenawa
Dilena eliya nethe thiyenawa
Oba enathura bala sitinawa
Adama eyida kiya sithenawaසඳ කිරණක ගී පද
සඳ කිරණක තරු පොකුරක
දිලෙන එළිය නෙතේ තියෙනවා
මල් කැකුළක නාදල්ලක
පැහැය සුවඳ මූණේ තියෙනවා
අප ගලවන්නට ලෝකෙට ආවට
තුති පුද දෙමු හද අප හද බැති බර
පුලින තලා මැද බැටලු පැටව් අප
ඔබෙ සැරයටියේ සරණයි අප හට
සඳ කිරණක තරු පොකුරක
දිලෙන එළිය නෙතේ තියෙනවා
මල් කැකුළක නාදල්ලක
පැහැය සුවඳ මූණේ තියෙනවා
ආයෙත් ලෝකෙට එන්නේ කවදද
අප ගෙනයන්නට නැවත වඩිනවද
මේ නත්තල් දා සමාව දෙනවද
සමාවෙන්න මට මගෙ පව් දුරුකොට
සඳ කිරණක තරු පොකුරක
දිලෙන එළිය නෙතේ තියෙනවා
මල් කැකුළක නාදල්ලක
පැහැය සුවඳ මූණේ තියෙනවා
පැහැය සුවඳ මූණේ තියෙනවා
දිලෙන එළිය නෙතේ තියෙනවා
ඔබ එනතුරු බලා සිටිනවා
අදම එයිද කියා සිතෙනවාSanda Kiranaka Lyrics English Translation
Light shining like a moonbeam and a cluster of stars
rests within your eyes
the colour and fragrance of a flower bud, of a tender leaf,
rests upon your face
Though you came into the world to save us,
we offer thanks, our hearts full of devotion
we, the little sheep on the sandy plain,
take our refuge in your staff
Light shining like a moonbeam and a cluster of stars
rests within your eyes
the colour and fragrance of a flower bud, of a tender leaf,
rests upon your face
When will you come to the world again?
will you come once more to carry us away?
on this Christmas day, will you grant forgiveness?
forgive me, and dispel my sins
Light shining like a moonbeam and a cluster of stars
rests within your eyes
the colour and fragrance of a flower bud, of a tender leaf,
rests upon your face
The colour and fragrance rest upon your face,
the shining light rests within your eyes,
we stand waiting until you come,
wondering, will it be today?

Sanda Kiranaka Song Meaning and Interpretation
This is a Christmas devotional sung to the infant Jesus, and it begins by gazing at his face. In your eyes, the singer says, is a light shining like a moonbeam and a cluster of stars, and on your face is the colour and fragrance of a flower bud, of a tender new leaf. It is the wonder of looking at a holy child, described in the softest images of moonlight and blossom.
Then it turns to devotion and belonging. Though you came into the world to save us, the singer says, we give thanks with hearts full of faith. He calls the worshippers little sheep on a sandy plain who take refuge in the shepherd’s staff, the old image of Christ as the shepherd and his people as the flock that shelters under him.
The last movement is a prayer. When will you come to the world again, he asks, will you return to carry us home; and on this Christmas day, will you forgive and dispel my sins? The song ends still gazing, the light resting in the child’s eyes, the worshipper waiting and wondering whether today might be the day. It is a tender carol that folds adoration of the newborn Christ into a longing for his return.
