The person who is telling this story has come to Kandy. But there is a kind of memory and kind of pain attached to this place. Why this city is very much special to him? 

It is because,

                              Chorus

Who is addressed as you here?

Obviously his first love. Most people have that experience of first love. Unfortunately, some are not able to marry their first love while some are luckiest to do. Unlucky ones are left with the memory and unexplainable pain.

So now it is clear that he is telling this story for her (for his first love). 

Even though we are changed, the beautiful environment of this city has not changed.  (Kandy and Peradeniya are cities with gorgeous environments and also with cool & comfortable weather). 

He is looking here and there. 

                    

                         Verse 1 

Now it is clear that they were a university couple of the University of Peradeniya back then.

 (especially, the University of Peradeniya is filled with lots of love stories. A large number of songs are written based on this university also. Well known reason for that is, the environment there might influence the romance.)

 So he is reflecting everything. This environment causes him to get back to those memories. He is saying that he wants to go to university again with her (with that first love mentioned). Most university students have a love story which never forget. 

So will this person be able to go back to that good past?

                         Verse 2

Now he is telling something new.

We thought that he is alone there ( that city). But he has not come to Peradeniya lonely. He has come with some others. Who are they? 

He is walking with his wife on the same street where he walked with his first love back then. His baby son is also there. 

So how will he go to that beautiful past again?

 Because he has come a long way by now, with his family. Even though he loves his past he has to move forward. Other than that there is nothing to do. So in the end he is emphasizing this. 

"Our whole life looks like a dream. Is not it? "
