Nisala Wela Imu Lyrics Singlish
Nisala welaa imu sasala welaa sitha
Nihadawa imu api dan
Lowata muwaa wee inna nohaki weyi
Aadara apa hagumin
Sasara puraa apa sithhi daraa
Thawa kelesa darannada mang
Yali nihada welaa goluwatha rakalaa
Pem sihina lowaka sithuwam
Nisala welaa imu sasala welaa sitha
Sasara puraa apa sithhi daraa
Nisala welaa imu sasala welaa sithaනිසල වෙලා ඉමු ගී පද
නිසල වෙලා ඉමු සසල වෙලා සිත
නිහඬව ඉමු අපි දැන්
ලොවට මුවා වී ඉන්න නොහැකි වෙයි
ආදර අප හැඟුමින්
සසර පුරා අප සිත්හි දරා
තව කෙලෙස දරන්නද මං
යළි නිහඬ වෙලා ගොළුවත රැකලා
පෙම් සිහින ලොවක සිතුවම්
නිසල වෙලා ඉමු සසල වෙලා සිත
සසර පුරා අප සිත්හි දරා
නිසල වෙලා ඉමු සසල වෙලා සිතNisala Wela Imu Lyrics English Translation
Let us grow still, though the heart is stirred,
let us stay silent now,
we may not be able to hide from the world
with these feelings of love of ours
Bearing it in our hearts across samsara,
how much longer am I to bear it?
again growing silent, keeping the muteness,
pictures of a love-dream in a world
Let us grow still, though the heart is stirred
Bearing it in our hearts across samsara
Let us grow still, though the heart is stirred

Nisala Wela Imu Song Meaning and Interpretation
A hushed, restrained song about a love that must be kept quiet. Let us grow still, though the heart is stirred, the singer urges, let us stay silent now. The reason is quietly anxious: we may not be able to hide from the world with these feelings of love of ours. The love is real but must not show.
The middle carries the weariness of that concealment across lifetimes. Bearing it in our hearts across samsara, the endless cycle of births, he asks, how much longer am I to bear it? And still the answer is the same, again growing silent, keeping the muteness, holding the love only as pictures of a love-dream in a world.
The song simply circles its two refrains, stay still though the heart is stirred, and bear it in the heart across samsara, the repetition itself enacting the endless, patient silence it describes. Sung by Shirly Waijayantha, it is a quiet, aching song about a love kept deliberately hidden, held in muteness across a whole cycle of lifetimes.
