Oba Awoth Lyrics Singlish
Kaale gewilaa yanawaa
Ayage senehe nogewee thaamath radilaa
Thawa dawasaka hawasaka oba aawoth
Mata kiyaaganna eka aadarayak aluthin
Themena denetha matha atha thiyalaa
Mage duka pisadaa hinahee simbalaa sanasaa
Thawa dawasaka hawasaka oba aawoth
Mata kiyaadenna eka aadarayak aluthin
Dawasa dawasa api prema kalaa
Mage dihaa balan hinahee hitiyaa eeyeth
Thawa dawasaka hawasaka oba aawoth
Mata kiyaadenna eka aadarayak aluthinඔබ ආවොත් ගී පද
කාලේ ගෙවිලා යනවා
ඇයගේ සෙනෙහෙ නොගෙවී තාමත් රැදිලා
තව දවසක හවසක ඔබ ආවොත්
මට කියාගන්න එක ආදරයක් අලුතින්
තෙමෙන දෙනෙත මත අත තියලා
මගෙ දුක පිසදා හිනැහී සිඹලා සනසා
තව දවසක හවසක ඔබ ආවොත්
මට කියාදෙන්න එක ආදරයක් අලුතින්
දවස දවස අපි ප්‍රේම කලා
මගෙ දිහා බලන් හිනැහී හිටියා ඊයෙත්
තව දවසක හවසක ඔබ ආවොත්
මට කියාදෙන්න එක ආදරයක් අලුතින්Oba Awoth Lyrics English Translation
Time keeps passing away,
yet her love, unspent, still lingers on,
if you come, some evening, on some other day,
teach me one love, all over again
Laying a hand upon my wet eyes,
wiping my sorrow, smiling, kissing, consoling,
if you come, some evening, on some other day,
teach me one love, all over again
Day after day we were in love,
you looked my way and smiled, even yesterday,
if you come, some evening, on some other day,
teach me one love, all over again

Oba Awoth Song Meaning and Interpretation
A gentle, longing love song addressed to someone who is gone, and might, just possibly, come back. Time keeps passing, the singer says, and yet her love has not worn away, it still lingers on. The refrain is his one quiet hope: if you come some evening, on some other day, teach me one love all over again, as though love were a thing he has forgotten how to feel without her.
The middle imagines exactly what her return would look like, in the smallest, tenderest gestures: a hand laid on his wet eyes, his sorrow wiped away, a smile, a kiss, a word of comfort. It is not a grand reunion he pictures but simple, close consolation, the ordinary tenderness he has lost.
The last verse leans on memory to keep the hope alive: day after day they were in love, and only yesterday, in his mind, she was still looking his way and smiling. The song never confirms she will return; it just keeps repeating the wish. Sung by Tharindu Damsara, composed by Thiyunuwan Prabuddika, it is a soft, aching song about waiting for a lost love and longing to be taught how to love, one more time.
