Api Hamuwunu Thena Lyrics Singlish
Api hamuwunu thana methanayi
Aadara bas dedu apimayi
Yali noenaa thana ethanayi
Pemwathun sinaa sathosin
Mata asi asee aathin
Mumunanaa hagum rahasin
Hamuwemuda yalith methanin
Api hamuwunu thana methanayi
Api apith sinaasee un
Yali yalith hadaa samudun
Hada ridum didee unusum
Susumakin gewee yayi dan
Api hamuwunu thana methanayiඅපි හමුවුණු තැන ගී පද
අපි හමුවුණු තැන මෙතැනයි
ආදර බස් දෙඩු අපිමයි
යළි නොඑනා තැන එතැනයි
පෙම්වතුන් සිනා සතොසින්
මට ඇසි ඇසී ඈතින්
මුමුණනා හැඟුම් රහසින්
හමුවෙමුද යළිත් මෙතැනින්
අපි හමුවුණු තැන මෙතැනයි
අපි අපිත් සිනාසී උන්
යළි යළිත් හඬා සමුදුන්
හද රිදුම් දිදී උණුසුම්
සුසුමකින් ගෙවී යයි දැන්
අපි හමුවුණු තැන මෙතැනයිApi Hamuwunu Thena Lyrics English Translation
This is the place where we met,
we ourselves are the ones who spoke words of love,
that is the place we will never come back to
Lovers, in happy laughter,
I hear them, again and again, from afar,
murmuring their feelings in secret,
will we meet again, here, in this place?
This is the place where we met
We too were the ones who laughed together,
and again and again wept, and said goodbye,
heartbreak, then warmth,
now it all passes away, in a single sigh
This is the place where we met

Api Hamuwunu Thena Song Meaning and Interpretation
A quietly grieving song rooted in a single spot, the place where we met. Here, the singer says, we ourselves spoke words of love; and yet, painfully, this is also the place we will never come back to. The same ground holds both the beginning of the love and the certainty that it is over.
The middle fills the place with other people’s happiness. He hears lovers, in happy laughter, from afar, murmuring their feelings in secret, and it makes him ask the ache of the whole song: will we meet again, here, in this place? Their joy only sharpens his own longing.
The close remembers their own version of that laughter, and its end. We too were the ones who laughed together, but again and again wept, and said goodbye; heartbreak followed by warmth, and now it all passes away, in a single sigh. Sung by Shirly Waijayantha, it is a tender, wistful song about returning in memory to the place a love began, and grieving that it is the one place it can never return to.
