Song Lyrics
මට සමාවෙන්න
මං නිසා ඔබ විදින වේදනා
මට හිතාගන්න බැරි තරමට
ඔබ ආදරේ කලා
ඇති දේ නැති වෙලා
මං නිසා ඔබ හිරවෙලා
එනමුත් මගේ ආදරේ ඔබට
වැදගත් වෙලා
ඔබේ දෑස මගේ දෑස ඒකමයි සදා
එක රෑක දුටු හීන එමටැයි සිතා
ඔබ ආව පාරේ මට එන්න බැහැනේ
එනමුත් මගේ ආදරේ ඔබටයි සදා
නලලේ අත තියා දිවුරන්නම් ආදරේ
වෙනසක් නම් වෙන්නැහැ
නැහැ ආයෙත් නම් ආදරේ
වංක මිත්රන් වැඩි හින්දා
චෝදනා වැඩි වෙනවා
එනමුත් මගේ ආදරේ ඔබට
වැදගත් වෙලා
ඇතිවෙන්න ඇඩුවා දුක යයි කියා
හිත තවම ඔබ ගාව ඔබ ඇඩු නිසා
අදහන්න බැහැනේ ඔබ දුන් සෙනෙහේ
නොමැකේවි ඔබගේ රුව මේ සිනේ

Song Summary
“Mata Samawenna” (Forgive Me) is a poignant expression of guilt and deep affection. The song’s mood is somber and reflective, portraying a narrator who feels responsible for the emotional pain and “trapped” state of his partner. Despite his inability to follow the same path as her, he offers a heartfelt apology and a solemn vow of eternal love, acknowledging that her devotion has remained steadfast even amidst external criticism and personal failures.
Song Meaning
The song functions as a raw confession of personal inadequacy within a relationship. The lyrics analyze the contrast between the narrator’s self-perceived faults and the partner’s “unbelievable” kindness. Themes of external interference are touched upon with the mention of “deceitful friends” (wanka mithran) and mounting accusations, which create further distance.
