Lyrics and translation Clarence Wijewardena - Hiru Sandu Mekena

Hiru Sandu Mekena

හිරු සඳු මැකිලා.
තරුකැට වැටිලා.
ලොව ගනඳුරු වී. තිබූ.
සිත අසරණ වී. හැඬූ.
ඒ රෑයේදී. බැඳි ආදරේ බිඳිලා බිඳිලා.
ලඳුනේ. කිමදෝ වෙන්වූ යේ...
දියවැල් මැකිලා.
කඳුලැල් සිඳිලා.
මල් මැලවුණු යාමයේ.
බිඟු වැලපුනු පාලුවේ.
මේ පැයේදී බැඳි ආදරේ බිඳිලා බිඳිලා.
ලඳුනේ. කිමදෝ වෙන්වූ යේ...
හිරු සඳු මැකිලා.
තරුකැට වැටිලා.
ලොව ගනඳුරු වී. තිබූ.
සිත අසරණ වී. හැඬූ.
ඒ රෑයේදී. බැඳි ආදරේ බිඳිලා බිඳිලා.
ලඳුනේ. කිමදෝ වෙන්වූ යේ...
මීවිත සිඳිලා.
ගීපද මැකිලා.
සිත ගොලුවුනු යාමයේ.
ලොව සැතපෙන මේ පැයේ.
ඒ දිනේදී බැඳි ආදරේ බිඳිලා බිඳිලා.
ලඳුනේ. කිමදෝ වෙන්වූ යේ...

Closed At Dawn

The sun and moon are eclipsed.
Whilst meteors have fallen,
The world has become dark. There was,
The heart had become helpless and cried,
On that night. So tied, the ties of love were shattered, shattered
Dear one. What parted on that day...
The dew has dried away,
Teardrops have been wiped away,
The flowers have withered,
The bees have bewailed the ruin,
At this hour - the ties of love were shattered, shattered
Dear one. What parted on that day...
The sun and moon are eclipsed.
Whilst meteors have fallen,
The world has become dark. There was,
The heart had become helpless and cried,
On that night. So tied, the ties of love were shattered, shattered
Dear one. What parted on that day...
Life has been shattered,
The song has been erased,
The mind has become confused,
The world is dark at this hour,
On that fateful day - the ties of love were shattered, shattered
Dear one. What parted on that day...
