Obagen Ma Labu Lyrics Singlish
Obagen maa labu aadara thilinaya
Ayi oba ragena gihin
Wasanthaye mal pipilaa natuwen
Gilihi wisira gohin
Hirutath rahasin
Sandutath rahasin oba maa hara giyadaa
Magathotadi oba hamuwee kawuruda
Maa obagen wimasaa
Obagen maa labu..
Magahara yannata hithunath oba daka
Kelesada iwatha balaa
Maa hara kisiweku enamaga balamin
Kelesada hitha pahadaa
Obagen maa labu...ඔබගෙන් මා ලැබූ ගී පද
ඔබගෙන් මා ලැබු ආදර තිළිණය
ඇයි ඔබ රැගෙන ගිහින්
වසන්තයේ මල් පිපිලා නටුවෙන්
ගිළිහි විසිර ගොහින්
හිරුටත් රහසින්
සඳුටත් රහසින් ඔබ මා හැර ගියදා
මගතොටදි ඔබ හමුවී කවුරුද
මා ඔබගෙන් විමසා
ඔබගෙන් මා ලැබු..
මඟහැර යන්නට හිතුණත් ඔබ දැක
කෙලෙසද ඉවත බලා
මා හැර කිසිවෙකු එනමග බලමින්
කෙලෙසද හිත පහදා
ඔබගෙන් මා ලැබු...Obagen Ma Labu Lyrics English Translation
The gift of love I received from you,
why did you take it back and go,
like spring flowers that bloomed
and then slipped from the stalk and scattered away?
Secretly from the sun,
secretly from the moon too, on the day you left me,
who was it you met along the way?
that is what I ask of you
The gift of love I received from you…
Even if I thought to pass you by, seeing you,
how could I look away?
picturing you watching the road for someone other than me,
how could my heart find peace?
The gift of love I received from you…

Obagen Ma Labu Song Meaning and Interpretation
A wounded, questioning love song about love given and then withdrawn. The gift of love I received from you, why did you take it back and go? the singer asks, comparing it to spring flowers that bloomed and then slipped from the stalk and scattered away. What was freely given has been snatched back, and its loss feels as natural, and as final, as petals falling.
The middle carries a quiet accusation. Secretly from the sun, secretly from the moon, she left him one day, slipping away unseen; and he asks, plainly, who was it you met along the way? The suspicion of another is there, but it is put as a question, not a charge, gentle even in its hurt.
The close is helpless devotion. Even if he thought to just pass her by when he saw her, how could I look away?; and picturing her now watching the road for someone other than me, he asks, how could my heart find peace? He cannot stop loving her, even knowing she may be waiting for someone else. Sung by Shirly Waijayantha, it is a tender, aching song about a love taken back like fallen spring flowers, and a heart that cannot look away or find peace.
