Monawada Amme Akuru Jathiyak - Pricilla Opatha and Kingsley Jayasekara - Sinhala song

This song is rather old and I am not sure when it was recorded. Very nice and meaningful song from the gramaphone era.

Wasantha Sandanayake sang it with her son, my mother always said to me. lovely song. Thanks.

This is the original version of this song written by Sri Chandrarathne Manawasinghe, sung by Priscilla Opatha and Kingsley Jayasekara. Wasantha sandanayake sang later on with a slightly higher tempo. I had that version too but lost it somehow during the house moving.

thanks for your comment jillball.

Priya,

this type of song will linger in our life as its so philosophical I learnt it when I was in grade 3 in the 1970s but its rather old classic. thanks for your comment

Though I’m not a good singer this is the only song I sang to put my kids to bed. Thanks for uploading this nice rare song and sharing it will all of us. I really appreciate your effort and time.

Thank you for the beautiful song. This song reminded me of my childhood. I was learning about India and Sri Lanka then. Thus, the song reminded me of that.

We need more songs of this type uploaded into YouTube for the listening pleasure of the senior generation. I pay my humble tribute for uploading these evergreens.
