Paru Palamen Lyrics
Paru palamen colombata gel peliya sepath wuna
Gas pahata lan wenekota api hodatama hawas wuna
Sekku weediye kamba deka uba mata mathk wuna.....
Kaiman dorakada idapan man enathuru selesthina..
Colamba rate ipadunata matama obina selesthina
Bere wewata handa pewuwa wagei mata ube sina
kaba kuruththawa edan muthu depotak gele dama.....
Santha basthiyan ele paru padimu selesthina
Maha mankada kavi maduwak heta hawasata pewethwena
Nam darapu kavi karayo ehi ena waga kathawuna
Tram car eke gihin kavi ahamuda selethina.....
Ingeresi rejina wage matanam uba selesthina
Paru palamen colombata gel peliya sepath wuna
Gas pahata lan wenekota api hodatama hawas wuna
Sekku weediye kamba deka uba mata mathk wuna.....
Kaiman dorakada idapan man enathuru selesthina..Paru Palamen Lyrics English Translation
Over the barge bridge into Colombo, the boats carried us across with ease. Evening fell as we neared Gas Pahata. The oil-mill street posts brought you to mind, Selestina. Wait by the door until I come. Your smile fell on me like moonlight on the Beira lake. To me you are like the Queen of England, Selestina.

Paru Palamen Song Meaning and Interpretation
An old-fashioned love song from the Colombo of a century ago, reached across a floating bridge of barges. A young man courts a city girl, Selestina. Her smile like moonlight on the Beira lake draws on the Sinhala image of the moon as calm beauty that settles rather than dazzles. He crowns her the Queen of England.
