Sengawila Alu Yatin Lyrics Singlish
Sangawilaa alu yatin puligu se mathuwenna
Bura buraa hada dawana kaanthaaraye kusuma
Nikmenna peraathuwa kiyaa dun jeewithaya
Mathaka gonnak kalaa oba mage hada gasma
Thanaa ran kuuduwak ekwa yannata durak
Sathuta radawanna ehi ihiluwaa maha barak
Daiwaye saradamin oba kalin miyadunath
Obama pamanak noweyi miyagihin mage hithath
Widaabara nethu agata kandulu bidu naganawaa
Oba inna thana soyaa mata enna hithenawaa
Nidahase igilenna ida hasara soyanawaa
Api haduwa kuuduwe daruwo iki bidinawaa
Kadalle wisirilaa obe suwanda thiyenawaa
Susumakata lan welaa dun senehe danenawaa
Thanikame paaluwe andura hada dawanawaa
Oba inna thana soyaa mata enna hithenawaaසැඟවිලා අලු යටින් ගී පද
සැඟවිලා අලු යටින් පුළිඟු සේ මතුවෙන්න
බුර බුරා හද දවන කාන්තාරයෙ කුසුම
නික්මෙන්න පෙරාතුව කියා දුන් ජීවිතය
මතක ගොන්නක් කළා ඔබ මගේ හද ගැස්ම
තනා රන් කූඩුවක් එක්ව යන්නට දුරක්
සතුට රඳවන්න එහි ඉහිලුවා මහ බරක්
දෛවයේ සරදමින් ඔබ කලින් මියැදුනත්
ඔබම පමණක් නොවෙයි මියගිහින් මගෙ හිතත්
විඩාබර නෙතු අගට කඳුළු බිඳු නැඟෙනවා
ඔබ ඉන්න තැන සොයා මට එන්න හිතෙනවා
නිදහසේ ඉගිලෙන්න ඉඩ හසර සොයනවා
අපි හැදුව කූඩුවේ දරුවො ඉකි බිඳිනවා
කැදැල්ලේ විසිරිලා ඔබෙ සුවඳ තියෙනවා
සුසුමකට ළං වෙලා දුන් සෙනෙහෙ දැනෙනවා
තනිකමේ පාලුවේ අඳුර හද දවනවා
ඔබ ඉන්න තැන සොයා මට එන්න හිතෙනවාSengawila Alu Yatin Lyrics English Translation
Rising like an ember from beneath the ashes,
o flower of the desert that burns the heart in a smoulder,
the life you taught me before you departed
made a heap of memories, you, my heartbeat
We built a golden cage, to travel a distance together,
to keep our happiness there, we lifted a great weight,
by fate’s mockery, though you died before me,
it is not you alone who died, my heart died too
To the corner of my weary eyes, teardrops rise,
I feel like coming to find the place where you are,
I search for room to fly free,
the children in the nest we built are sobbing
Your fragrance lies scattered through the nest,
the love you gave, drawing close in a sigh, is felt,
in loneliness and emptiness, the darkness burns the heart,
I feel like coming to find the place where you are

Sengawila Alu Yatin Song Meaning and Interpretation
A devastating lament sung by a man for his dead wife. She rises in memory like an ember from beneath the ashes, a flower that still burns the heart in a smoulder; and the life you taught me before you departed has left him a heap of memories. He calls her, simply, my heartbeat.
The middle is the shared life they built and fate destroyed. We built a golden cage, to travel a distance together, lifting a great weight to keep happiness in it; but by fate’s mockery, she died first. And the line that holds the whole grief: it is not you alone who died, my heart died too.
The close is unbearable, domestic loss. Teardrops rise at the corner of weary eyes, and I feel like coming to find the place where you are, a longing to follow her in death. The children in the nest we built are sobbing, her fragrance still scattered through the home, her love still felt in a sigh; and in loneliness, the darkness burns the heart. Sung by Sunil Edirisinghe, it is a profoundly moving widower’s lament, a father alone with grieving children, his own heart dead alongside his wife, wishing only to reach the place where she has gone.
