Uda La Hiru Ena Paye Lyrics Singlish
Udaa laa hiru ena paye
Sudo sudu pahayen sadee
Edaa paasal wiyedee
Dutu dine mathakayi sadaa
Kalpanaa ..... kalpanaa .....
Mawee piwithuru pem sinaa
Bandee kuludul premaye
Nadee theradee apa edaa
Hamu wunaa mathakayi lande....
Kalpanaa ..... kalpanaa .....
Gewee kaalaya igililaa
Bidee senehasa irithalaa
Lihee wenathaka yaawelaa
Thanikale ayi maa sadaa....
Kalpanaa ..... kalpanaa ....උදා ළා හිරු එන පැයේ ගී පද
උදා ළා හිරු එන පැයේ
සුදෝ සුදු පැහැයෙන් සැදී
එදා පාසැල් වියේදී
දුටු දිනේ මතකයි සදා
කල්පනා ..... කල්පනා .....
මැවී පිවිතුරු පෙම් සිනා
බැඳී කුළුඳුල් ප්රේමයේ
නදී තෙරදී අප එදා
හමු වුනා මතකයි ළඳේ....
කල්පනා ..... කල්පනා .....
ගෙවී කාලය ඉගිළිලා
බිඳී සෙනෙහස ඉරිතලා
ලිහී වෙනතක යාවෙලා
තනිකළේ ඇයි මා සදා....
කල්පනා ..... කල්පනා ....Uda La Hiru Ena Paye Lyrics English Translation
In the hour the young sun rises,
adorned all in dazzling white,
the day I saw you, back in our school years,
I remember it always,
thoughts… thoughts…
Pure smiles of love took shape,
we were bound in a first, budding love,
that day, at the river’s edge,
we met, I remember it, my dear…
thoughts… thoughts…
Time wore on and flew away,
the affection cracked and broke,
you came loose and joined another,
why did you leave me alone forever?…
thoughts… thoughts…

Uda La Hiru Ena Paye Song Meaning and Interpretation
A gentle, nostalgic classic about a first love remembered from schooldays. It opens at dawn, the hour the young sun rises, adorned all in dazzling white, and the memory it lights up is the very day he first saw her, back in our school years. The refrain, thoughts… thoughts…, is the whole song’s mood, a mind quietly turning old memories over.
The middle recalls love budding in innocence. Pure smiles of love took shape, and they were bound in a first, budding love; and he pins the memory to a place, that day, at the river’s edge, we met. It is young, uncomplicated love, still bright in his mind.
The last verse brings the loss. Time wore on and flew away, the affection cracked and broke, and she came loose and joined another. All that is left is the plaintive question, why did you leave me alone forever?, trailing off again into thoughts… thoughts… Sung by Dr. Victor Rathnayake to words by Kularatne Ariyawansa, composed by Stanley Peiris, it is a tender, wistful classic about a schoolday first love, remembered forever by the one it left behind.
