Song Lyrics
විජිතය ආදරයේ
ඔබමය ළඳුනි මගේ
මේ මුළු ජීවිතේ
ඔබ තව දන්නෙ නෑ
මා හැර ගිය දවසේ
සිහිනෙන් මා දුටුවා
ඔබ නැති මා
ජීවිතයේ තනි වී…
සඳු ගිලිලා
තරු නිවිලා
මගෙ ලෝකේ
මා කඳුලේ ගැලිලා
ඔබ සතුටේ..
ඇතැයි සිතා
කඳුළු තුලින්
හිනැහෙමි තාමත් මා…
දළු දාලා…
මල් පිපිලා
ඔබ ලෝකේ
හිනැහේවා සැමදා
හදට ඔබේ..
දුක ආ දා
මම එතැනයි පමා
නොවෙමි කිසිදා..
විජිතය ආදරයේ
ඔබමය ළඳුනි මගේ
මේ මුළු ජීවිතේ
ඔබ තව දන්නෙ නෑ
මා හැර ගිය දවසේ
සිහිනෙන් මා දුටුවා
ඔබ නැති මා
ජීවිතයේ තනිවී…
ඔබ නැති මා
ජීවිතයේ තනිවී…
ඔබ නැති මා
ජීවිතයේ තනිවී…
