about
Sinharaja Vannama
Recital of the Lion King. Based on a folk tale where a lion falls into a deep well and perish due to a cunning device by a tortoise. The moral of this Vannama is that a similar destiny awaits those who act without foresight.

Lyrics of the Kaviya of Sinharaja Vannama
පෙරත් කලෙක සිංහ රජෙක් වැටුනි මහ
ලිඳක් තුලෙක ඉබි ලඩෙක් කරපු වැඩ
හැරත් මෙහෙම යස වැඩක් උනේ නැත
චිරත් කලක් පැවතුමක් යසඉ හැඩ
දුරත් බැලුම නොව ලඟත් බලන අය
හටත් එලෙස වෙයි කැටක් තබමි දඩ
වටත් අයට දැනෙනටත් කියමි මම
රටක් වටින සිහ රජ වන්නමෙ හැඩ
Perath Kaleka Sinha Rajek Vetuni Maha
Lindak Thuleka Ibi Ladek Karapu Veda
Herath Mehema Yasa Wedak Vune Netha
Chirath Kalak Pevathumak Yasai Heda
Durath Beluma Nova Langath Balana Aya
Hatath Elesa Wei Ketak Thabami Dada
Vatath Ayata Denenatath Kiyami Mama
Ratak Vatina Siha Raja Vanname Heda
