Children's Songs on TV Yesterday Part 2 - ඒ කාලේ රූප පෙට්ටියේ ළමා සිංදු දෙවන කොටස

This is the second part of the article series Children's Songs on TV Yesterday. Here are some more of the nostalgic memories, the golden years of the TV, 80s and 90s.


Muhuda Lassanai By Lalith Kumara Dawundasekara
මුහුද ලස්සනයි - ලලිත් කුමාර දවුන්දසේකර

Unable to find the original video. But the original voice is here.




Du Puthune Rata Apeya By Shalitha Abeywickrama
දූ පුතුනේ රට අපේය - ශාලිත අබේවික්‍රම

Sulange Lelenaa By Shalitha Abeywickrama
සුළගේ ලෙළෙනා - ශාලිත අබේවික්‍රම


Unable to find both the original songs. Get to know 'Du Puthune' was his 1st song contributed to the industry. It was the peak time of his singing life and I perfectly remember the mustache he had at that time as shown in the following video 'pipuna malaka' and now the mustache was removed. This video is somewhere in the middle of the original and the latest.



Have no idea of the following video. But it's so lovely to see the kids in those days in TV shows who are matured and trained enough to perform in a audience without any angara dhagara (අඟර දඟර) and overloaded makeups.

"Sinhala Lama gee written by Anuruddha Harischandra Weligamage to Childrens song Programmes telecasted by Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation during 1990-95"


Udasanama Podi Api
උදෑසනම පොඩි අපි


Unable to find the original video telecasted in the TV. Original aired on radio was sung  by Lalith Sriwardana.


Punchi Welenda By Ruvan Dalpadadu
පුංචි වෙළෙන්දා - රුවන් දල්පදාදු

පද රචනය - පැට්‍රික් දල්පදාදු,  ශ්‍රී කාන්ති හෙට්ටිආරච්චි
සංගීතය - ජයන්ත හෙට්ටිඅර්ච්චි

I didn't watch it when it was 1st aired in 80s because I was too small. I get into know about punchi velenda when Namayayi Paha Programme done by Hema Nalin Karunarathna refreshed the memory of this child singer Ruvan Dalpadadu when he was a youth,  telling he known number of languages. And now he's a well known medical doctor.


Rambakida By Chandani Hettiarachchi & Peter Roziro
රඹකිඳ - චාන්දනී හෙට්‌ටිආරච්චි සහ පීටර් රොසයිරෝ

සංගීතය - සරත් ද අල්විස්‌

This was a song where the lyrics of two popular kiddie folk songs were reversed. ටිකිරි ලියා & අම්බලමේ පිනා.





Oba Sama Mithuran By Ruvan Dalpadadu
ඔබ සැම මිතුරන් - රුවන් දල්පදාදු

පද රචනය - පැට්‍රික් දල්පදාදු




Ranpota  By Nimal Jayamanne
රන්පොට - නිමල් ජයමාන්න

This song includes few traditional folk songs with a new rhythm. I remember my brother got a cassette recorded of this song and very much cared and little me very much want to listen to it. Someday silly little me accidentally pressed the small red record button in the middle of the play button, when playing the song.. and gosh we lost the song thereafter. Remember those days Internet was never existed to download a song whenever you want.





Lowe Sama Ekama Deye
ලොවේ සැමා එකම දැයේ

A peace song lead by Gypsies. 
දැනට දිවයිනේ වැඩිම ගායක ගායිකා පිරිසක් දායකවූ එකම ගීතය වේ.

පද - ආනන්ද පද්මසිරි සහ හේමසිරි හල්පිට
 





Ru Rase Adina Lese by Susil Premarathna & Latha Walpola
රූ රැසේ අඳිනා ලෙසේ - සුසිල් ප්‍රේමරත්න සහ ලතා වල්පොළ

It was the only song which presented two creative talents at the same time in SL. I remember those days I was very confused, whether I should concentrate on the art or on the song. This song was very helpful to remember the peoms of Guththila Kavya for every student I guess. And it may be the only poem the people could remember from Guthtila Kavya even in nowadays.
