Mal Liyakam Lyrics
Mal liyakam randi pem sithuwam andi
Mal liyakam randi pem sithuwam andi
Aadara wijini pathin kawudo
Sihil pawan salanaa
Kiyaaganna bari nuhuru hagum
Obe nuwan puraa andenaa
Ochcham kara mal kumara kumariyo
Apa wata kara hinahenna
Kinduru kodewwe muthu paaye
Hangemu api denna
Hangemu api denna
Mal liyakam randi pem sithuwam andi
Mal liyakam randi pem sithuwam andi
Aadara wijini pathin kawudo
Sihil pawan salanaa
Kiyaaganna bari nuhuru hagum
Obe nuwan puraa andenaa
Raththaranin sandi kethaki mampethi
Athwal banda yamu raththarane
Pichcha malin piri lokaya apatayi
Swapna paraa deese surangaanaawiyane
Swapna paraa deese surangaanaawiyane

Floral tracery drawn, a painting of love painted,
floral tracery drawn, a painting of love painted,
who is it, with a love-fan of leaves,
fanning the cool breeze?
strange, unspeakable feelings
are drawn all across your eyes
The flower princes and princesses tease us,
laughing all around the two of us,
in the pearl-glade of the kinnara isle,
let us two hide away,
let us two hide away
Floral tracery drawn, a painting of love painted,
floral tracery drawn, a painting of love painted,
who is it, with a love-fan of leaves,
fanning the cool breeze?
strange, unspeakable feelings
are drawn all across your eyes
Along golden-strung ketaki flower-paths,
let us join hands and go, my darling,
a world full of jasmine flowers is ours,
offering a paradise of dreams, o my angel,
offering a paradise of dreams, o my angel,
offering a paradise of dreams

Mal Liyakam Song Meaning and Interpretation
A lush, romantic classic that paints young love as a garden come to life. It opens like a picture: floral tracery drawn, a painting of love painted, and the singer wonders who it is fanning cool breezes with a love-fan of leaves. Everything is bloom and softness, and across the beloved’s eyes he reads strange, unspeakable feelings he cannot put into words.
The middle turns playful and intimate. The flower princes and princesses tease and laugh all around them, and the two lovers long to slip away, in the pearl-glade of the kinnara isle, let us two hide away. The kinnara isle, a mythical land of celestial musician-beings, makes their private escape a fairy-tale one.
The close is a promise of shared paradise. Hand in hand, they will walk golden-strung ketaki flower-paths; a whole world full of jasmine flowers belongs to them; and it all offers a paradise of dreams, o my angel. Sung by Dr. Victor Rathnayake to words by Dr. Ajantha Ranasinghe, it is a beloved, garden-bright classic about young love so tender and complete that it turns the whole world into a blossoming dreamland.
