Every Song has a big back story

I heard this song for the first time in a program called "Ra Irapaana" on Derana FM. A program that take your soul to the deep deep sea of a song in any language. The narrator Bandula Nanayakkarawasam is doing a tremendous work of attracting people like us back to the radio . So this song was there on its first episode and make me this habit of downloading all the episodes online at http://fmderana.lk/re_irapana.


Tears in Heaven

A song sung by Eric Clapton for his 4 year old son who fell from the window of a 53rd floor of an apartment building. It's not the song which make it perfect, but how emotionally he express his grievance through this song.  He calls for his son who is in heaven, to tell him, that he will be there one day to hold his little hand and walk beside him, but asking, would he be remember him as his beloved father as he did same as before, on that day. As I don't have the words to describe the deep sensitivity behind this song, listen how "Ra Irapaana" narrate the big back story behind the tears in heaven. Every song has a big back story which make them most amazing.

PS : 1st and 2nd episodes are not there at above site, but you can find it on the YouTube channel of Derana FM.



Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven? 
Would it be the same 
If I saw you in heaven? 

I must be strong 
And carry on, 
'Cause I know I don't belong 
Here in heaven. 

Would you hold my hand 
If I saw you in heaven? 
Would you help me stand 
If I saw you in heaven? 

I'll find my way
Through night and day, 
'Cause I know I just can't stay 
Here in heaven. 

Time can bring you down, 
Time can bend your knees. 
Time can break your heart, 
Have you begging please, begging please.

Beyond the door, 
There's peace I'm sure, 
And I know there'll be no more 
Tears in heaven. 

Would you know my name 
If I saw you in heaven? 
Would it be the same 
If I saw you in heaven? 

I must be strong And carry on, 'Cause I know... I don't belong ...Here in heaven.


ඔබ මා නම් දනීවිද? මා අඳුනා ගනීවිද? මා ඔබ දෙව්ලොව්හී දුටහොත්,
මෙලෙසින්ම, මේ අයුරින්ම, අප සිටීවිද, මා ඔබ දෙව්ලොව්හී දුටහොත්     

මා ශක්තිමත් විය යුතුය. දරා ගත යුතුය. 
මන්දයත්, මා දන්නා නිසා, මා හට දෙව්ලොව තවම හිමි නැති බැව්.

ඔබ මා අත් අල්වාගනීද? මා ඔබ දෙව්ලොව්හී දුටහොත්,
ඔබ මා නැගිටුවාලයිද? මා ඔබ දෙව්ලොව්හී දුටහොත්,

මා මගක් සොයාගත යුතුය, දිවා රෑ නොබලා.
මන්දයත්, මා දන්නා නිසා මා හට දෙව්ලොව්හී රැදෙන්නට තවම නොහැකි බැව්  

කාලයට හැකිය ඔබ පොළෝතලයට ගෙන ඒමට 
කාලයට හැකිය ඔබ දෙපා පොළෝමත රැඳවීමට 
එසේම ඔබ හදවත බිඳ දැමීටත් කාලයට හැකි වනු ඇත
එනිසා ආයාචනා කරන්න (හැකිවේවි අප හා නැවත එක්වීමට)

නමුදු

මේ දොරටුවෙන් එපිට
ශාන්තිය ඇති බැව් මම දනිමි, මට නිසැකය. 
එලෙසින්ම, උරුමයක් නොමැති බැව් මම දනිමි, මට නිසැකය දෙව්ලොව්හී කඳුලටද.
