Noma Tharahawanu Lyrics Singlish
Noma tharahaawanu wimasami maa oba
Kalekini hamuwuuye
Yauwanaye ruwa himiwuna seyaa
Saadambara muhune
Gumu gumu nada dena
Wana samanalune malin malata saranaa
Natha kisi baadhaa thopa hata apagen
Aayeth ohe noenaa
Akurata giye apa dedenaa samagin
Samanola diwi warunaa
Kawata sinaa thol pethi mumunaagena
Suragana lowaki manaa
Noma tharahaawanuනොම තරහාවනු ගී පද
නොම තරහාවනු විමසමි මා ඔබ
කලෙකිනි හමුවූයේ
යෞවනයේ රුව හිමිවුණ සේයා
සාඩම්බර මුහුණේ
ගුමු ගුමු නද දෙන
වන සමනලුනේ මලින් මලට සරණා
නැත කිසි බාධා තොප හට අපගෙන්
ආයෙත් ඔහෙ නොඑනා
අකුරට ගියේ අප දෙදෙනා සමගින්
සමනොළ දිවි වරුණා
කවට සිනා තොල් පෙති මුමුණාගෙන
සුරගන ලොවකි මනා
නොම තරහාවනුNoma Tharahawanu Lyrics English Translation
Don’t be angry, I only ask after you,
we met after such a long time,
the youthful beauty is there on that
proud face of yours
Humming and buzzing,
o forest butterflies going flower to flower,
there is no hindrance to you from us,
we won’t come that way again
We two went to learn our letters together,
the butterfly-days of our lives,
lips murmuring with playful smiles,
it was a fine world of celestial maidens
Don’t be angry, I only ask after you

Noma Tharahawanu Song Meaning and Interpretation
A gentle, wistful song about running into an old flame after many years. Don’t be angry, I only ask after you, the singer begins, disarmingly careful; we met after such a long time. He notices the youthful beauty is still there on her now proud face, time has passed, but she is still lovely, and perhaps a little distant.
The middle steps politely back, using butterflies as its image. To the forest butterflies going flower to flower, he says there is no hindrance to you from us, we won’t come that way again. It is a graceful withdrawal, an assurance that he will not intrude on her life or trouble her.
The close is warm memory. We two went to learn our letters together, childhood classmates, in the butterfly-days of our lives, lips murmuring with playful smiles, in a fine world of celestial maidens. He remembers their shared childhood fondly, without bitterness, and closes on the same gentle plea, don’t be angry, I only ask after you. Sung by Shirly Waijayantha, it is a tender, courteous song about meeting a childhood love long after, cherishing the old days while stepping back with grace.
