My father bought a brand new HMV valve radio at Cargills in Kandy in 1952. Though I did not understand a word in the song, I thoroughly enjoyed the mesmerising lyrics and the superb sound of the thabla accompanying the lyrics, dragging the vocals breathlessly. We listened to all Sunil Shantha's music. A Deshamanya Sammana in memory of this great son of Sinhale should be awarded posthumously to his remaining kith and kin.
Lionel de Zoysa This song I heard when I was a small kid. I thank wholeheartedly the gentleman/ lady who has uploaded this ageless masterpiece. Dispelling doubts raised, I confirm this song is Bengali; this type of songs are sung by river-boat people in Bengal, those are akin to our PAARU KAVI. Getting nostalgic.....
Sunil Santa The Great ,not only the no 1 singer musician who,s voice being god,s given by far not superceded, but also a super intellectual, to whome Mother Lanka is and will be in debt beyond calculation for her gross ingrtitude to such great son.
Language Bengali and singing by Honorable Sunil Santha who is Sri Lanka marvelous vocalist educated at Laknau Musical Academy in India and Sri Lanka history first award bring to the country from Rekawa film. Bodure is meaning friend.Also first person who brought up Sri Lanka traditional and cultural music and introduced to the world to enjoy the Sri Lanka traditional music taste without any different originally. The great person today not with us and have only his valuable traditional music.
This is a song i listened when i was a child. At super star programs so far no one has selected this unfortunately. Thank you so much for presenting this unique song.
There was a Bengali music group played in Minnesota and they had a similar song, similar words and even music. That day I realized Sunil Santha's this song has Bengali infulence or it could be a Bengali song.
