You Are Mine

“You Are Mine” from the EP Tara is a gentle love song about finally expressing feelings that have been quietly held inside for a long time. The opening lines compare love to an emotion first experienced in dreams and a poem heard in real life, capturing the almost unreal feeling of finding someone who means everything to you. The repeated confession, “Nuv naa daanive, nen nee vaadane,” becomes the heart of the song, expressing a simple desire to belong to one another both in dreams and in reality.

The lyrics repeatedly connect love with poetry and music. Feelings that were difficult to put into words begin to fall like raindrops, while the “Ga Ri Sa Ni Da Ga” passage turns that emotion itself into melody. Images of moonlight, clouds, a mother’s song, and a child’s innocent words give the romance a soft and intimate quality. Written around closeness, certainty, and finally finding the courage to speak, “You Are Mine” is performed and composed by Hemachandra, bringing a warm musical identity to this romantic track from Tara.
