Tu Aasmaan Hai Lyrics by Theekshana Anuradha

In the stars that flicker, dimming and glowing, through dark nights,
just as they hide away your eyes,
they hide so many untold tales,
how many tales are there?
what kind of tales are there?
go, tell it to the flickering, dimming stars,
through the dark nights

Without you, my heart
is exactly like a night with no moon

You are the sky, you are limitless,
if you are with me, then everyone is beside me,
you are the moon, and so very pure,
this love will remain unblemished

With my hands entwined like this,
walk with me along some far, distant road,
at some resting place, spend the night upon my shoulders

I will linger on in your memories,
I will live by your love,
I will be yours, and yours alone,
do not forget me, do not leave me,
that is the one wish of my love

A tender, star-struck love song whose Hindi title, Tu Aasmaan Hai, you are the sky, is answered inside the Sinhala lyric itself. It opens among stars that flicker dimming and glowing through dark nights, and imagines that just as they hide away the beloved’s eyes, they also hide so many untold tales. He wants those unspoken feelings told, if only to the stars.

The heart of it is the title-line, turned into a whole worldview. Without her, my heart is exactly like a night with no moon; but with her, you are the sky, you are limitless, and if you are with me, then everyone is beside me. She is also the moon, and so very pure, and because of that, he vows, this love will remain unblemished. She is at once the sky, the moon, and the reason he is never alone.

The close is pure devotion. Hands entwined, he asks her to walk with him along some far, distant road and to spend the night resting on his shoulders. And the song ends on its single, simple wish: I will live by your love and be yours alone, so do not forget me, do not leave me. Sung by Theekshana Anuradha to words by Wathsala Samarakoon, it is a warm, worshipful love song about a beloved who is sky, moon and whole world, and one quiet plea never to be left behind.
