Sabande - Shyamalangan with Umara and Dumal

පෙරදා මසිතේ පාට තැවරූ ඔබද මේ

Somewhere within him, was a man, wanting her to love him instead of hiding behind a dark reality of an accustomed world. She loved him through her perfectly defined world and partly denied fears. They are secretly in love in their own restless minds and converse through ‘Sabande’.

Lyrics

Original Lyrics|Transliterate
  • සබඳේ නොසිතු සේ උන්මාදවී මෙලෙසේ
  • සොඳුරේ නොසිතු සේ ශ්‍රුන්ඝාර වේ රැය මේ
  • පෙරදා මසිතේ පාට තැවරූ ඔබද මේ
  • මිහිරේ හිත කැළඹේ හීන අතරේ විසිරිලා
  • අනුරා සුපෙම් ගී සුළඟේ ඇසේවා
    තරිඳා සළු උනාලු මේ රෑ
  • නොදවා නුරාවෙන් රැය දැන් ගෙවේවා
    සුව වී සිත නිවේවා සීතේ
  • සේපාලිකා යායේ සුවඳට මා යාවේ
    මේ සීත මායාවේ උණුහුම නෑ කාගේ
  • සඳ එළියේ මා දැවේ
  • මධු රෑ මහෝගේ අද නෑ උදාවී
    සබඳේ ඇයි මුළාවී මේ රෑ
  • පිබිදී ප්‍රමෝදේ දෙසිතක් බැඳේවා
    තුරුළේ රැය ගෙවේවා පෑහී
  • තාරුණ්‍ය මායාවේ හීනෙන්ද රෑ පානේ
    සෝ තාප සංකාවේ ගිලෙමුද රෑ යාමේ
  • නිදි නැති රෑ මා දැවේ
  • Sabande Nosithu Se Unmaadavi Melese
  • Sondure Nosithu Se Shrungara Wae Raya Mae
  • Pereda Masithe Paata Thawaru Obada Mae
  • Mihire Hitha Kalambe Heena Athare Visirila
  • Anura Supem Gee Sulange Asewa
    Tharinda Salu Unaalu Mae Raa
  • Nodawa Nurawen Raya Dan Gewewa
    Suwa Wee Sitha Nivewa Seethe
  • Sepalika Yaye Suwandata Maa Yave
    Mae Seetha Maayawe Unuhuma Naa Kaage
  • Sanda Eliye Maa Dawe
  • Madhu Raa Mahoge Ada Naa Udawi
    Sabande Ay Mulawi Me Raa
  • Pibidi Promode Desithak Bandewa
    Thurule Raya Geweva Paahi
  • Tharunya Maayaave Heenenda Raa Paane
    So Thapa Sankawe Gilemuda Raa Yaame
  • Nidhi Nathi Raa Maa Dawe

Trivia
  • The music video shoot took place at Hotel Hilton, Colombo at the early hours from 1 am to 4 am. The crew moved the piano from a stage to the desired backdrop location just for the shoot.
  • Umara couldn't remember the lyrics for the song during the video shoot. Shenya (Dumal's wife) was prompting the lyrics for Umara to get her lip-sync right throughout the shoot.
