Ma Piyumak Lesa Lyrics Singlish
Maa piyumak lesa oba paa mula parawa giyaawe
Doowillak lesa oba paa yuga matha randunaawe
Mee binduwak lesa oba detholata rasaya wunaawe
Thel binduwak lesa oba kes matha maa alunaawe
Ghana andurata sanda pahanaya samiduni oba apataa
Oba watha mata deyi sahanaya sama sathuran palawaa
Mage sirure diwayana ruhireta jeewaya powanaa
Duk susumak oba athi thana mata sathutak dewanaa
Mada pawanak lesa maa gatha wada sisila genaawe
Oba seethala rayakata maa hata unduna wunaawe
Jesuni obe nama mathuraa gee kiyami niratharaa
Randawaa senehasa uthuraa obamaya maa mithuraaමා පියුමක් ලෙස ගී පද
මා පියුමක් ලෙස ඔබ පා මුල පරව ගි‍යාවේ
දූවිල්ලක් ලෙස ඔබ පා යුග මත රැඳුනාවේ
මී බිඳුවක් ලෙස ඔබ දෙතොලට රසය වුණාවේ
තෙල් බිඳුවක් ලෙස ඔබ කෙස් මත මා ඇලුනාවේ
ඝන අඳුරට සඳ පහනය සමිඳුනි ඔබ අපටා
ඔබ වත මට දෙයි සහනය සැම සතුරන් පලවා
මගෙ සිරුරේ දිවයන රුහිරෙට ජීවය පොවනා
දුක් සුසුමක් ඔබ ඇති තැන මට සතුටක් දෙවනා
මඳ පවනක් ලෙස මා ගත වැද සිසිල ගෙනාවේ
ඔබ සීතල රැයකට මා හට උඳුන වුණාවේ
ජේසුනි ඔබෙ නම මතුරා ගී කියමි නිරතුරා
රඳවා සෙනෙහස උතුරා ඔබමය මා මිතුරාMa Piyumak Lesa Lyrics English Translation
Like a lotus, you withered away at my feet,
like dust, you clung upon my feet,
like a drop of honey, you became sweetness to my lips,
like a drop of oil, you clung upon my hair
To our thick darkness, my Lord, you are the moon-lamp,
your face gives me relief, driving all my enemies away,
into the blood that runs in my body, you pour life,
even a sigh, where you are, becomes a joy to me
Like a gentle breeze, entering my body, you brought coolness,
on a cold night, you became a hearth for me,
Jesus, chanting your name, I sing my songs without ceasing,
keeping love overflowing, you alone are my friend

Ma Piyumak Lesa Song Meaning and Interpretation
This is a hymn of intimate devotion, and it describes the presence of God through a cascade of small, sensuous, everyday images that add up to a picture of total nearness. The first verse is tender and a little mysterious, “like a lotus, you withered at my feet, like dust, you clung upon my feet, like a drop of honey, you became sweetness to my lips.” God is imagined as something close enough to touch and taste, the humblest, most intimate contact, honey on the lips, oil on the hair, dust on the feet. Divine love here is not distant grandeur but the closeness of ordinary things.
The middle verse names what that nearness does. “To our thick darkness, you are the moon-lamp,” the light in the night; “your face gives me relief, driving all my enemies away”; and, most beautifully, “into the blood that runs in my body, you pour life.” God is woven right into the singer’s living being, so that “even a sigh, where you are, becomes a joy.”
The final verse gathers the images of comfort, “like a gentle breeze you brought coolness,” “on a cold night you became a hearth for me,” warmth against the cold, relief against the heat. And it ends in the simplest, sweetest note of all: “chanting your name, I sing my songs without ceasing, keeping love overflowing, you alone are my friend.” What the listener is left with is the warmth of a God who is not far off but as close as honey on the lips and a fire on a cold night, the constant, intimate companion the heart calls, quite simply, its only friend.
