Hada Parana Lyrics by Shirly Waijayantha

With that heart-scraping gaze,
my eyes fell shut and were gone,
the river of love that swept me up and took me,
went wild in an instant

Though I offered you a love with no end in sight,
why give me more of this pain? to whom can I tell it?
everything we spent, hand in hand, like springtime,
scattered like a gust of wind, and all of it was undone

With that heart-scraping gaze…

The cool balm of the love
that swept me up like springtime,
your smile comes to the heart, endlessly,
did you hear a love with no end in sight break into sobs?
did you give your word with a real heart, in that same way, to me?

With that heart-scraping gaze..

A raw heartbreak song about a love that overwhelmed and then destroyed. It opens with that heart-scraping gaze, a look so powerful the singer’s eyes fell shut and were gone, swept up by the river of love; and then, in an instant, that same river went wild, the love that carried him away suddenly turned to ruin.

The middle is wounded questioning. Though I offered you a love with no end in sight, why give me more of this pain?, and, achingly, to whom can I tell it? Everything they spent together hand in hand, like springtime has scattered like a gust of wind, all of it undone. The contrast of spring warmth and sudden scattering is the heart of the grief.

The close clings to the memory even as it doubts it. The cool balm of the love that swept me up like spring keeps returning, her smile coming to the heart, endlessly. And then the two questions that hold all his hurt: did you hear a love with no end in sight break into sobs? and, did you ever give your word with a real heart the way I did? Sung by Shirly Waijayantha, it is a wounded, questioning song about a springtime love that turned wild and scattered, and a heart left wondering whether the other ever truly meant it.
