Udaya Lyrics Singlish
Thawa mohothak me tharam langwee innawanam
Hada doragulu wiwara karan rahasinma pawasannam
Adahannata bari tharamata aadare aran
Thaniya pirunu mage hitha oba paata kala tharam
Poth pitu atharema nawathunu mage hitha aayeth hinahenawaa
Pempath liyanata hurunathi atha mage thaamath gassenawaa
Sinaasenna kiyaadunna raththaran hithin
Sadaakalma denawada oya aadare ithin
Aathma gananaka pathumaka sundara sihinaya sabawelaa
Mage lokaya langa nawathunu oba mata jeewithayama weelaa
Sinaasenna kiyaadunna raththaran hithin
Sadaakalma denawada oya aadare ithinඋදය ගී පද
තව මොහොතක් මේ තරම් ළංවී ඉන්නවනම්
හද දොරගුළු විවර කරන් රහසින්ම පවසන්නම්
අදහන්නට බැරි තරමට ආදරේ අරන්
තනිය පිරුණු මගෙ හිත ඔබ පාට කළ තරම්
පොත්පිටු අතරෙම නැවතුණු මගෙ හිත ආයෙත් හිනැහෙනවා
පෙම්පත් ලියනට හුරුනැති අත මගෙ තාමත් ගැස්සෙනවා
සිනාසෙන්න කියාදුන්න රත්තරන් හිතින්
සදාකල්ම දෙනවද ඔය ආදරේ ඉතින්
ආත්ම ගණනක පැතුමක සුන්දර සිහිනය සැබෑවෙලා
මගෙ ලෝකය ළඟ නැවතුණු ඔබ මට ජීවිතයම වීලා
සිනාසෙන්න කියාදුන්න රත්තරන් හිතින්
සදාකල්ම දෙනවද ඔය ආදරේ ඉතින්Udaya Lyrics English Translation
If you would stay this close a moment longer,
I would open the bolts of my heart and tell you, in secret,
how you took my love, beyond all believing,
how much you coloured my loneliness-filled heart
My heart, that had stopped between the pages of a book, smiles again,
the hand unused to writing love-letters still trembles,
o golden-hearted one who taught me to smile,
will you give me that love, then, forever?
The beautiful dream of an aeon’s wish has come true,
you, who stopped beside my world, have become my whole life,
o golden-hearted one who taught me to smile,
will you give me that love, then, forever?

Udaya Song Meaning and Interpretation
A warm, grateful love song about being gently brought back to life by someone’s love. If she would only stay close a moment longer, the singer says, he would open the bolts of my heart and confess, in secret, how she took his love beyond all believing, and how completely she coloured my loneliness-filled heart. Her love has flooded colour into an empty life.
The middle is quiet renewal. My heart, that had stopped between the pages of a book, smiles again, a heart shut like a closed book has reopened, and even the hand unused to writing love-letters still trembles, moved and nervous at once. He calls her golden-hearted one who taught me to smile, and asks the song’s recurring question: will you give me that love forever?
The close names the scale of his gratitude. The beautiful dream of an aeon’s wish has come true, the reward of countless lifetimes’ longing, and she, who stopped beside my world, has become my whole life. The tender question returns once more, hopeful and unsure at the same time. Written and sung by Udaya Shree, it is a heartfelt, grateful love song about a lonely heart reopened by love, asking only that the love last forever.
