Oya Mata Manapanam Ban Lyrics | Joodu Daala Yan | Gajindu Fonseka in English

Amma mawa bandawanna
Hari kalabale ane ban
Mata bandinna bæ dan
Thāma visihatayi nē ban
Hebei… eyaa mata eyaa mata
Oyā mata manāpanam ban

Api jōdu dālā yan mē thirikkalē ban
Oyā mata manāpanam man hawasata kændan yannam //
Magul pōru bandinnam dīgeta nakath kiyanam
Gamatama kiyanawā ada man oyā magē nōnā kiyala ban
Api jōdu dālā yan mē thirikkalē ban

Bhaari karan mama yanawāmai ada dennæ wenakātat
Kāra bandinnata numba enakan ada kadamandhiya langa man
Oyā magē karē tiyan man api yamukō handē ban
Numbaṭa dunna ālē man wena kātat dennæ ban

Hebei… eyaa mata eyaa mata
Oyā mata manāpanam ban

Api jōdu dālā yan mē thirikkalē ban
Oyā mata manāpanam man hawasata kændan yannam //
Magul pōru bandinnam dīgeta nakath kiyanam
Gamatama kiyanawā ada man oyā magē nōnā kiyala ban
Api jōdu dālā yan mē thirikkalē ban
Oyā mata manāpanam man hawasata kændan yannam

Oya Mata Manapanam Ban Lyrics | Joodu Daala Yan | Gajindu Fonseka English Meaning

💍 “Let’s Get Married, But Keep It a Secret (For Now)” – A Young Man’s Bold & Hilarious Love Confession

In the vibrant streets of Sri Lanka, where culture and tradition often steer the course of love, a young man finds himself caught between youthful rebellion and heartfelt romance. In this playful and passionate declaration, he spills his heart out with one hilarious—and surprisingly sincere—mission: to convince his crush to marry him… secretly.

“Mom Wants Me to Settle Down… But I’m Not Ready Yet”

The story starts with a familiar cry heard in many Asian households: “Amma wants me to get married!” The young man panics—he’s only 27! Life’s still a wild ride, and marriage feels like a full stop in the middle of a sentence. But wait, there’s a twist.

He’s not running from love. In fact, he’s running to someone. Someone he likes—no, really likes. The kind of like where you imagine her in a wedding saree and start googling auspicious dates.

“If You Like Me Too… Let’s Do This!”

He pleads in the most charming way, “If you like me back, let’s become a couple. Let’s escape to Thirikkale”—a metaphorical place or perhaps just a funny made-up word to paint a picture of their perfect getaway. It’s spontaneous, rebellious, and full of youthful energy. He even jokes, “I’ll bring the wedding candles this evening!”

This isn’t just about love—it’s about doing love differently.

A Village Wedding Announcement… Made in a Whisper

He dreams out loud of tying the knot in secret, telling the village only after it’s done:
“Today, I tell the whole village—you’re mine now. My girl, my bride.”
It’s dramatic. It’s emotional. It’s exactly what a rom-com scriptwriter would draft after two espressos and a heartbreak.

He’s ready to break traditions—not out of disrespect—but for the sake of love that feels too urgent to delay.

Standing at the Market, Waiting for His Bride

And then comes the most cinematic scene:
He stands near the marketplace, waiting. Not for customers. Not for discounts. But for her—his future, his everything.
“I won’t give my love to anyone else. This love is for you, and you only.”

Young Love in Sri Lankan Style – Raw, Funny, and Real

This isn’t a song or a story about a perfect fairytale romance. It’s about real emotions—the fear, the rush, the hope, the boldness of saying: “I’m yours. Say the word, and I’ll prove it today.”

It’s a voice from the heart of a Sri Lankan youth, mixing humor and emotion, tradition and rebellion, in a way that only our culture knows how to express.

Latest Lyrics

The song's writer, Lin-Manuel Miranda, was inspired by a line in the movie where the grandmother says, "We don't talk about Bruno." Miranda found the line intriguing and decided to write a song about Bruno, imagining him as a mysterious and misunderstood character. Miranda's lyrics capture the essence of Bruno, a character that nobody wants to talk about but who has a significant impact on the family's history.
