Doy Doyya Putha - Rukmani Devi - The Most Beautiful Patriotic Lullaby - From 'Daiwayogaya' (1959)

This is undoubtedly the most beautiful lullaby in Sinhala cinema and sung none other than the Silver screen queen Rukmani Devi. I have not come across any other lullaby which could outmatch this particular track from Rukmani.

Rukmani Devi was one of the rarest actresses who did acting and singing simultaneously with so much ease and exceptional dedication.

The lyrics by the legend Sri Chandrarathna Manawasinghe undoubtedly ranks one of the top lyricists of all time in Sri Lanka uses simple yet powerful beautiful Sinhala words to depict the patriotism in this lullaby. Manawasinghe him self hailed from Matara, Southern Sri Lanka wrote many patriotic poems during the 1950s.

Beautiful mellow music by Sajjad Hussain.

Senadheera Kuruppu and Rukmani Devi starred as a the couple.
The film was based on veteran writer WA Silva book.
The actual movie clip is taken from a government film unit (GFU) video clip which featured Rukmani Devi and her Sinhala Movies.

There is a lullaby sung by Latha Walpola... Baa loli loli. But there are so many baa loli songs ..Nanda sings one of the most beautiful. Do you think you could find the original of this for us -- it is such a poignant moving loving yet sad ...good lullabies are always sad I think.. Baa loli loli doiya baba naada nidiyanna baba ... sanda wimanin sudu sandun arang parasathu malwala suwanda perang chandana kalkaya babuge hisay galwathi dewagano nidana lese thanks Renuka
