Dasin Bala Lyrics by Udaya Sri Wickramasinghe

Looking with your eyes, you showed me
love and passion, my lovely one,
my heart wearied, thinking only of you,
where did I get so lost?

When will you be entwined in my two hands,
resting at the lake-shore of the heart?
I’ll come seeking, drawn along by the wind,
searching for the place where you are

My lovely one… in the mansion of my heart…
stop now, and stay… taking my love…
o moon that rose… in my world…
by your light… my whole life…
is soothed…

Because you come hiding the moon away,
the stars beckoned, watching,
longing to stay closer still,
I wait, until you become my very own
when will you be entwined in my two hands,
resting at the lake-shore of the heart?
I’ll come seeking, drawn along by the wind,
searching for the place where you are

Looking with your eyes, you showed that passion,
and became mine, my lovely one,
my heart has come to rest beside you forever,
I’ll take you, and lay you in my arms

A warm, devoted love song about being enchanted and gently lost in someone. With a single look, the singer says, she showed him love and passion, and now his heart has wearied from thinking only of her, until he wonders, where did I get so lost? Being smitten is described as a sweet kind of losing your way.

The refrain is longing and pursuit. When, he asks, will she be entwined in his two hands, resting at the lake-shore of the heart? He promises to keep coming, drawn along by the wind, searching for wherever she is. And he calls her the moon that rose in his world, whose light soothes his whole life, and begs her to stop, at last, and stay in the mansion of my heart, taking his love.

The close turns toward union and rest. Because she comes hiding the moon away, outshining it, the very stars beckon and watch; and he waits only until she becomes his own. At last his restless heart comes to rest beside her forever, and he vows to take her and lay her in his arms. Written and sung by Udaya Shree, it is a tender, moonlit love song about being happily lost in someone and longing, patiently, for the day they finally stay.
