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.
English translation
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.
