Pin Manda Sinhala Lyrics:
පින් මන්ද රංග භූමියේ
පෙම් බැන්ද සිංහ සීවලී
නුඹ මන්ද ලෙනෙන් පිට වෙලා ගියේ
මං සිංහයාට බයයි නංගියේ
මං සිංහයාට බයයි නංගියේ
වැදි රජ සමගින් අවසැඟ
මනමේ කුමරිට රැවටුණ //
මනමෙ කුමරා මමයි නංගියේ
ධනුදර වුණාට ඉහත සංදියේ
ධනුදර වුණාට ඉහත සංදියේ
මං සිංහයාට බයයි නංගියේ
මං සිංහයාට බයයි නංගියේ
දුනු කඩු මොටදැයි ප්රේමෙට
වෙඬරු සදිසි උණු වෙන සිත් මිස //
තිරය මෑත් කරන වංගියේ
අසිපත ගෙන නුඹ කොහි සැඟවුණිදෝ
අසිපත ගෙන නුඹ කොහි සැඟවුණිදෝ
මං සිංහයාට බයයි නංගියේ
මං සිංහයාට බයයි නංගියේ
පින් මන්ද රංග භූමියේ..
මං සිංහයාට බයයි නංගියේ ///2015-11-0803 min
