Sri Lanka Matha

Sri Lanka Matha, apa Sri Lanka,

Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha.

Sundara siri barini,

Surendi athi Sobamana Lanka

Dhanya dhanaya neka mal pala thuru piri, Jaya bhoomiya ramya.

Apa hata sapa siri setha sadana, jeevanaye Matha!

Piliganu mena apa bhakti pooja,

Namo Namo Matha.

Apa Sri Lanka,

Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha

Obave apa vidya, Obamaya apa sathya

Obave apa shakti, Apa hada thula bhakti

Oba apa aloke, Aapage anuprane

oba apa jeevana ve, Apa muktiya obave

Nava jeevana demine

Nnithina apa Pubudu karan matha

Gnana veerya vadavamina ragena yanu

mena jaya bhoomi kara

Eka mavekuge daru kala bavina

yamu yamu wee nopama

Prema vada sama bheda durara da

Namo Namo Matha

Apa Sri Lanka,

Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha.

Mother Lanka we salute Thee!

Plenteous in prosperity, Thou,

Beauteous in grace and love,

Laden with corn and luscious fruit,

And fragrant flowers of radiant hue,

Giver of life and all good things,

Our land of joy and victory,

Receive our grateful praise sublime,

Lanka! we worship Thee.

Thou gavest us Knowledge and Truth,

Thou art our strength and inward faith,

Our light divine and sentient being,

Breath of life and liberation.

Grant us, bondage free, inspiration.

Inspire us for ever.

In wisdom and strength renewed,

Ill-will, hatred, strife all ended,

In love enfolded, a mighty nation

Marching onward, all as one,

Lead us, Mother, to fullest freedom.
