Mama Numba Kisida
මම නුඹ කිසිදා ගී පද
මම නුඹ කිසිදා අත් නොහරින්නෙමි
නුඹ මා තුල සදා රඳවා ගන්නෙමි
ඔබ පසු පස මා සැමදා එන්නෙමි
ඔබ අසලින්ම මා සදා රැඳෙන්නෙමි
පිළිතුරු නොලබා අසරණ වූ විට වෙනතක හැරුණෙමි
මුව පොව්වෙකු සේ මිරිඟුව පසුපස හතිලා දිව්වෙමි
පිළිතුරක් නොදී බොහෝ කලක් මා නිහඬව සිටියෙමි
එහෙත් නුඹ කෙරෙන් මගේ මුහුණ මා සඟවා නොගත්තෙමි
දෙපාවාරු නැති මොහොතේ තනිවී දුක මැද හැඬුවෙමි
ඉවසුම් නොමැතිව දසතම දිවගොස් හතිලා වැටුනෙමි
දෙපාවාරු නැති මොහොතේ මා නුඹ ඔසවා ගත්තෙමි
නුඹටත් රහසින් නුඹ අසලම සිට නුඹ සවිමත් කළෙමිMama Numba Kisida Lyrics Singlish
Mama numba kisidaa ath noharinnemi
Numba maa thula sadaa radawaa gannemi
Oba pasu pasa maa samadaa ennemi
Oba asalinma maa sadaa radennemi
Pilithuru nolabaa asarana wu wita wenathaka harunemi
Muwa powweku se miringuwa pasupasa hathilaa diwwemi
Pilithurak nodee bohoo kalak maa nihandawa sitiyemi
Eheth numba keren mage muhuna maa sagawaa nogaththemi
Depaawaaru nathi mohothe thaniwee duka mada handuwemi
Iwasum nomathiwa dasathama diwagos hathilaa watunemi
Depaawaaru nathi mohothe maa numba osawaa gaththemi

Mama Numba Kisida Lyrics English Translation
I will never once let go of you,
I will keep you within me forever
I will always come after you,
I will always remain right beside you
When you got no answer and, helpless, turned to another,
like a deer you ran panting after a mirage
though I gave no answer and stayed silent for a long time,
yet I never once hid my face away from you
In the moment you had no foothold, alone, you wept amid your sorrow,
impatient, you ran off to all directions and fell down exhausted
in that moment when you had no foothold, I lifted you up,
secretly, staying right beside you, I made you strong

Mama Numba Kisida Song Meaning and Interpretation
This is a remarkable hymn, because it is sung not by the believer but by God, and it is God’s own promise never to let go. The opening lines are pure reassurance from heaven’s side: “I will never once let go of you, I will keep you within me forever; I will always come after you, I will always remain right beside you.” It is the divine answer to every human fear of being abandoned.
What makes the song so moving is that God speaks these words while honestly describing the believer’s wandering and doubt. “When you got no answer and, helpless, turned to another, like a deer you ran panting after a mirage.” God has watched his child chase illusions, grow impatient, and give up on him during the long silences. And he admits those silences were real, “though I gave no answer and stayed silent for a long time.” But then comes the crucial line: “yet I never once hid my face away from you.” The silence was never absence.
The final verse reveals what God was doing all along, unseen. In “the moment you had no foothold,” when the singer “wept amid sorrow,” “ran off to all directions and fell down exhausted,” that was exactly when “I lifted you up.” And the loveliest detail closes it: “secretly, staying right beside you, I made you strong.” What the listener is left with is one of the deepest comforts of faith, that even in the times God feels silent and far, he has never actually left, but has been quietly holding on, keeping watch, and strengthening the very one who thought they were alone.
