Sura Geeyai Lyrics Singlish
Sura geeyayi bilidu hadayi atha asenne
Sulan rodayi mal suwadayi edesin enne
Ridee seenu hada paradana geetha asenne
Kawda me ra kan kalu geethikaa gayanne
Susith danan hata saamaya labee dinewaa
Lowa saw satha hata saamaya labee dinewaa
Mese dewa dootayo sura geetha gayoowaa
Bilidu dewidu dilidu pale lowa bihiwoowaa
Gopalun susiraya gena thaalayata pibinawaa
Batalun kara pinnaagena e desa enawaa
Sura dutu kala kiyoo bilidu koheda asanawaa
Bilidun dutu sanin watee wada ayadinawaa
Daru nalawillayi dan e desin asenne
Bilidaa mau ukulata wee sapata nidanne
Piyaa wathata baradee pitupasin sitinne
Methanaya lowa raja wana dew bilidu upanneසුර ගීයයි බිළිදු හඩයි ගී පද
සුර ගීයයි බිළිදු හඩයි ඈත ඇසෙන්නේ
සුළං රොදයි මල් සුවදයි එදෙසින් එන්නේ
රිදී සීනු හඩ පරදන ගීත ඇසෙන්නේ
කව්ද මෙ රෑ කන් කළු ගීතිකා ගයන්නේ
සුසිත් දනන් හට සාමය ලැබී දිනේවා
ලොව සව් සත හට සාමය ලැබී දිනේවා
මෙසේ දේව දූතයො සුර ගීත ගැයූවා
බිළිදු දෙවිදු දිළිදු පැලේ ලොව බිහිවූවා
ගොපලුන් සුසිරය ගෙන තාලයට පිබිනවා
බැටළුන් කර පින්නාගෙන ඒ දෙස එනවා
සුර දුටු කැල කියූ බිළිදු කොහෙද අසනවා
බිළිදුන් දුටු සැණින් වැටී වැද අයදිනවා
දරු නැළවිල්ලයි දැන් ඒ දෙසින් ඇසෙන්නේ
බිළිදා මව් උකුලට වී සැපට නිදන්නේ
පියා වතට බරදී පිටුපසින් සිටින්නේ
මෙතැනය ලොව රජ වන දෙව් බිළිදු උපන්නේSura Geeyai Lyrics English Translation
A heavenly song, a baby’s cry, is heard from far away,
a strand of wind, a scent of flowers, comes from that direction,
a song that outdoes the ringing of silver bells is heard,
who is it, this night, singing these enchanting hymns?
May peace be won for people of good heart,
may peace be won for all the creatures of the world,
so the angels sang out their heavenly song,
the divine baby, born in a poor hut, came into the world
The shepherds pipe their flutes along to the tune,
carrying lambs upon their shoulders, they come toward that place,
the host who saw the angels ask, where is the baby?
and the moment they see him, they fall and worship
A lullaby, now, is heard from that direction,
the baby, in his mother’s lap, sleeps in comfort,
the father stands behind, bearing the load,
here, the God-baby who becomes King of the world was born

Sura Geeyai Song Meaning and Interpretation
This is a Nativity carol that unfolds the Christmas story as a scene of sound and wonder. From far off comes a heavenly song, a baby’s cry, carried on a strand of wind and a scent of flowers, a song that outdoes the ringing of silver bells, and the singer asks the question that opens the story, who is it, this night, singing these enchanting hymns?
The answer is the angels, and the hymn quotes their song almost exactly as Saint Luke records it: may peace be won for people of good heart, may peace be won for all the creatures of the world, the great Glory to God and peace on earth of the first Christmas. And it names the reason for their singing, the divine baby, born in a poor hut, came into the world.
The rest paints the beloved scene. The shepherds pipe their flutes along to the tune and come carrying lambs upon their shoulders, and when they find the child, the moment they see him, they fall and worship. The song ends in tender stillness, a lullaby is heard as the baby sleeps in his mother’s lap with the father standing behind. What the listener is left with is the whole first Christmas caught in music, the angels’ song of peace, the wondering shepherds, and a poor stable where the God-baby who becomes King of the world was born.
