Ai Napuru Lyrics Singlish
Oba dannawanam mage hithe thiyena duka koyitharam
Wenne na napuru oba mata riddana me tharam
Hitha thaluna mata andduna waawanu ba thawath
Mama iwasannam numba mage hitha therum ganna kal
Hada dawuna
Paludu wuna
Numbata horen mata andduna
Hada dawuna
Paludu wuna
Numbata horen mata andduna
Oba hinawenna mama daraan innam mage duka
Hitha paarana paarana waarak paasa nodanima
Numba ridawa mata hadaaganna ba mage hitha
Mata notherenne mama ayi thawa aadare obatama
Hada dawuna
Paludu wuna
Numbata horen mata andduna
Oba dannawanam mage hithe thiyena duka koyitharam
Wenne na napuru oba mata riddana me tharam
Hitha thaluna mata andduna waawanu ba thawath
Mama iwasannam numba mage hitha therum ganna kalඇයි නපුරු ගී පද

ඔබ හිනාවෙන්න මම දරාන ඉන්නම් මගෙ දුක
හිත පාරන පාරන වාරක් පාසා නොදැනිම
නුඹ රිදවා මට හදාගන්න බෑ මගෙ හිත
මට නොතේරෙන්නෙ මම ඇයි තව ආදරෙ ඔබටම
හද දැවුනා

If only you knew how much sorrow is in my heart
you would not be so cruel, hurting me this much
My heart was bruised, I cried, I can bear no more
I will wait until you come to understand my heart
My heart burned
it cracked
and I cried, hidden from you
My heart burned
it cracked
and I cried, hidden from you
So that you can smile, I go on carrying my sorrow
each time you scrape at my heart, again and again, I let it pass unfelt
I cannot mend my own heart by hurting you
I don’t understand why I still love only you
My heart burned
it cracked
and I cried, hidden from you
If only you knew how much sorrow is in my heart
you would not be so cruel, hurting me this much
My heart was bruised, I cried, I can bear no more
I will wait until you come to understand my heart

Ai Napuru Song Meaning and Interpretation
This is a plain, aching heartbreak song, and it does not dress the pain up in much metaphor because it does not need to. A young man is being hurt by someone he loves, and his first line is almost a plea: if you only knew how much sorrow is in my heart, you would never be this cruel. He says his heart is bruised, he has cried, and he cannot take much more, yet he promises to wait until she finally understands him.
The refrain is the rawest part. My heart burned, it cracked, and I cried where you could not see, he repeats, and that hiding is the whole ache of the song. He keeps his tears secret so as not to burden her, holding the sorrow himself so that she can go on smiling.
What makes it hurt is his own helplessness. Every time she scrapes at his heart he lets it pass as if he never felt it, and he admits he cannot heal himself by hurting her back. The last line is the one anyone who has loved the wrong person knows: I don’t understand why I still love only you. There is no resolution, just the honest confusion of a heart that will not let go.
