"PA then etha ada andure.
Apa dedenaa den eka peththe." Bindu Udagedera was singing to himself.
"Why are you singing to yourself?" Bindu's father Percy asked.
"No, thaaththa, this is a newer version of the popular 'Rangahala den
etha ada andure' song." Bindu said.
"And what version is this?" Percy wanted to know.
"This is the 2001 election version, thaaththa," the boy said.
"And who is singing this version?"
"There are many people singing different parts of the song." Bindu said.
"I don't understand." Percy was puzzled.
"The first part is sung by Ranil and S. B. and it goes like this." Bindu
said, and began singing:
"PA then etha ada andure.
Apa dedenaa den eka peththe.
Anna balan methiniya apage.
Thaniwee etha den maha putuwe."
"And then what happens?" Percy asked.
"The next part of the song is sung by different people and it is like
this." Bindu said, singing again:
Wimal to Satellite:
"Avasan maase pariwaase.
Obage atha gena methi sabaye.
Cabinet eka wissata kepune.
Revatune methiniya obane ane."
Satellite to Anurudhdha:
"Diriyen yuda kala oba dutu senine.
Ethiwiya mage hada geba thula senehe.
Nethimuth S.B. me sere chande.
Oba misa an kisi saranak netha ane maame."
Anura to Satellite:
"Agamethi putuwata aasaa hithunaa.
Akkata ekkahu wennata hithunaa.
"Satellite to Anura:
Mallith nevathath paksheta bendunaa.
PA paradina bava den denunaa."
Not wanting to disagree, Percy joined in the singing. |
