Ran tikiri sina muwa muwa paala
Lanwi ath allagena aes dalwuwa
Daethey baedila aethata duwala
Nopeni yanawada sudu nangee
Iniman baedila lassana hoyala
Gamanak yanawada sudu mallee
Baale gewala aale durala
Nopeni yanawada sudu nangee
Dagakara sitala ganthera herada
Gamanak yanawada sudu malleeරන් ටිකිරි සිනා මුව මුව පාලා
ලංවී අත් අල්ලාගෙන ඇස් දැල්වූවා
දෑතේ බැදිලා ඈතට දුවලා
නොපෙනී යනවද සුදු නංගී
ඉනිමං බැදලා ලස්සන හොයලා
ගමනක් යනවද සුදු මල්ලී
බාලේ ගෙවලා ආලේ දුරැලා
නොපෙනී යනවද සුදු නංගී
දගකර සිටලා ගංතෙර හැරදා
ගමනක් යනවද සුදු මල්ලීGolden little smiles glimmer on her lips
As she draws near, holding hands, eyes sparkling
Her hand in mine, we ran far ahead
Are you leaving unseen, my fair little sister?
Tied with grace, searching for beauty
Are you setting off, my gentle little brother?
Childhood now passed, love left behind
Are you disappearing from sight, my fair little sister?
Once playful by the riverside, now gone with the flow
Are you on a journey, my gentle little brother?

“Ran Tikiri Sina” is a nostalgic and tender song about the quiet passing of childhood and the bittersweet feeling of watching innocence slip away. The golden smile of a child, once so close and playful, is now just a memory as they grow and move on – possibly into adulthood, possibly into another phase of life.
The lyrics use soft, affectionate imagery like “fair little sister” and “gentle little brother” to evoke emotional intimacy. It’s not just about a physical journey, but a metaphorical one – the journey from innocence to experience, from childhood dreams to grown-up realities.
There’s love, wonder, and a hint of sadness. The song gently asks: Are you leaving now, quietly, without saying goodbye? It’s a beautiful reflection on time, change, and the people we grow up with – and grow apart from.
