Mal Pipi Lyrics Singlish
Mal pipee suwanda hamana witeka bambara raanaki
Katu anee wisa ewan maleka ridum dee nithi
Eya nodana nithara suwanda danee sithak wasanga wee
Yali yalith ayida mama nodanimi obata lan wewi
Mal saraa heeya thudu aga madhu mihira mata danee
Wida daraa inna mohothaka wisa katu ridum dunee
Oba soyaa enna sitha radunee ayida nodanimi
Samu nodee inne ayidayi mama magen wimasami
Nethu puraa galaa kandulali unusum susum danee
Hudekalaa weyida sitha mage magen wimasami
Raya puraa oba soyaa nirathuru wehesa mata danee
Nodanenaa ekama pudumaya aadarayamayi priye
Mal pipee suwanda hamana witekaමල් පිපී ගී පද
මල් පිපී සුවඳ හමන විටෙක බඹර රෑනකි
කටු ඇනී විස එවන් මලෙක රිදුම් දී නිති
එය නොදැන නිතර සුවඳ දැනී සිතක් වසඟ වී
යළි යළිත් ඇයිද මම නොදනිමි ඔබට ළං වෙවී
මල් සරා හීය තුඩු අග මධු මිහිර මට දැනේ
විද දරා ඉන්න මොහොතක විස කටු රිදුම් දුනී
ඔබ සොයා එන්න සිත රැදුණි ඇයිද නොදනිමි
සමු නොදී ඉන්නේ ඇයිදැයි මම මගෙන් විමසමි
නෙතු පුරා ගලා කඳුළැලි උණුසුම් සුසුම් දැනී
හුදෙකලා වෙයිද සිත මගේ මගෙන් විමසමි
රැය පුරා ඔබ සොයා නිරතුරු වෙහෙස මට දැනී
නොදැනෙනා එකම පුදුමය ආදරයමයි ප්‍රියේ
මල් පිපී සුවඳ හමන විටෙකMal Pipi Lyrics English Translation
When the flower blooms and its fragrance wafts, there is a swarm of bees,
a flower that pricks with a thorn and sends poison, forever giving pain,
not knowing that, sensing the fragrance always, a heart enthralled,
again and again, why, I don’t know, drawing close to you
On the flower-arrow’s tip I feel the sweet honey,
in a moment of bearing it, the poison-thorn gave its pain,
the heart stayed to keep coming to seek you, why, I don’t know,
why I stay without taking my leave, I ask myself
Tears flowing, filling the eyes, warm sighs are felt,
will my heart go lonely? I ask myself,
all night, tirelessly seeking you, I feel the weariness,
the one wonder I cannot feel is love itself, my dear
When the flower blooms and its fragrance wafts

Mal Pipi Song Meaning and Interpretation
A bittersweet love song built on the double nature of a flower, sweet fragrance and hidden thorn. When the flower blooms and its fragrance spreads, there is a swarm of bees; but it is also a flower that pricks with a thorn and sends poison, forever giving pain. Knowing that, the heart is still enthralled by the fragrance, and again and again, why, I don’t know, drawing close to you. Love that hurts, drawn to anyway.
The middle lives inside that contradiction. On the flower-arrow’s tip he tastes the sweet honey, and in the very next moment the poison-thorn gave its pain. Still, the heart stayed to keep coming to seek you, and he asks himself, honestly, why I stay without taking my leave. He cannot explain his own refusal to walk away.
The close is the sleepless toll of it. Tears fill the eyes, warm sighs rise, he wonders if his heart will be left lonely, and all night, tirelessly seeking you, I feel the weariness. And the quiet paradox that ends it: the one wonder I cannot feel is love itself. Amid all the pain he can name, love remains the thing he cannot quite grasp. Sung by Shirly Waijayantha, it is a tender, aching song about loving something as sweet and thorned as a flower, and being unable to explain, or stop, the pull of it.
