NAMO NAMO MATHA

Sri Lanka matha,
Apa Sri Lanka,
Namo namo namo namo matha!
Apa Sri Lanka,
Namo namo namo namo matha!

Sundara siri bharini,
Surandi ati sobhamana Lanka,
Danya dhanaya neka mal palaturu
Piri jaya bhumiya ramya.
Apa hata sapa siri seta sadana,
Jeewanaye' matha!
Piliganu mana apa bhakti puja,
Namo namo matha!
Apa Sri Lanka,
Namo namo namo namo matha!

Oba we' apa vidya,
Oba maya apa satya,
Oba we' apa shakti,
Apa hada tula bhakti.
Oba apa aloke',
Apage' anuprane',
Oba apa jeewana we',
Apa muktiya oba we'.

Nawa jeewana demine',
Nitina apa pubudu karan matha,
Gnanya wirya wadawamina ragena,
Yanu mena jaya bhumi kara.

Eka mawakage' daru kala bawina,
Yamu yamu winopama,
Prema wada sama bheda durara da,
Namo namo matha!
Apa Sri lanka,
Namo namo namo namo matha!
Apa Sri lanka,
Namo namo namo namo matha!

English Translation (Not Exact):

WE SALUTE THEE, MOTHER

Mother Lanka we salute Thee!

Plenteous in prosperity, Thou,
Beauteous in grace and love,
Laden with grain 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!
