ඔබ මේ ගීතය සන්සුන් මනසින් යුතුව කියවන්න. 
ඔබටම හිතේවි ගීතය නම් වූ අතිශය ජනප්‍රිය මාධ්‍යය හරහා මේ ගීතයේ නිර්මාණකරුවන් ජීවිතය කියවා ඇති අපූරුවේ චමත්කාරය කෙබඳුද කියා.

කවදාක හෝ පිටත්වී - යා යුතුයි යන තැනැත්තා
කනගාටුවෙන් හඬන්නේ - මේ දහම ගැන නොදත්තා

අම්බලමක රෑ ඉඳලා - අප එකම මඟ ඇවිල්ලා
යන්නෙම් කියා නොදන්වා - උදයේම ඔබ ගිහිල්ලා

මඟ නික්මි ඔබ වගේ මම් - යන මාවත දුර නේදෝ
අප වැන්නවුන් කෙසේ නම් කොතැනකදි හමු නොවේදෝ

ගීතය ඔබේ සිත් ගත්තා නම් එපමණයි. හැකි නම් සොයා ගෙන අසන්නට උත්සාහ කරන්න.
