In Sinhala
සුලගේ පාවී… ඈ වෙත යාවී
මා සිතූ සිතුම්
සිහින විමානෙන් ගෙනා
මා පැතූ පැතුම්
පාසැලේදී මා දිහා
නෙත් කොනින් බලා
ඒ කියූ රහස් කතා
නෑ සැබෑ උනේ
සුලගේ පාවී… ඈ වෙත යාවී
මා සිතූ සිතුම්
සිහින විමානෙන් ගෙනා
මා පැතූ පැතුම්
ගී පොතේ හි මා ලියූ
ශෝක ගීතයේ
උල්පතයි ඔබේ නෙතින්
හෙලූ බැලුම් ප්රියේ
සුලගේ පාවී… ඈ වෙත යාවී
මා සිතූ සිතුම්
සිහින විමානෙන් ගෙනා
මා පැතූ පැතුම්

Literal Translation in English
The thoughts I had brought from the plane of dreams
will go to her by floating wind
With my wishes
Those secret stories which you told me
from your eye in my school,
Never Came true
The thoughts I had brought from the plane of dreams
will go to her by floating wind
With my wishes
Sweetheart, The source of the mourning song
which I wrote in my song book
is the way you look at me
The thoughts I had brought from the plane of dreams
will go to her by floating wind
With my wishes
Literature Review
Sulange Pawee Athata Yaawi is a soft and sentimental song about love and longing. The singer reminisces over his lost love, proclaiming his silent wishes and dreams that he wishes reached the person they care about. The lyrics speak about little things, yet those influential on his heart, like glances and memories.
The song’s melody flows softly and is soothing, just like the feeling of nostalgia. Victor Rathnayake’s voice brought depth to the lyrics, and the longing within those words could be felt when he sang. It is one classic song touching anyone who ever experienced love and unfulfilled dreams. this song’s English translation is very similar to review.
