Mother Sri Lanka,
Our Mother, we bow down to you with deep and sincere respect!
Beautiful and plentiful in prosperity,
A creation of higher beings that is full of beauty and love,
This land that is filled with a variety of different grains, rich resources, beautiful flowers, and fruits, is a victorious and lovely land.
Please receive our grateful and faithful offering,
Mother, we bow down to you with deep and sincere respect!
You are our science, knowledge, and wisdom
You are our truth
You are also our strength, and the faith instilled within us
You are our light, and our inspiration
You are the life within us, and our liberation!
Mother, Awaken us forever, giving us new life, and inspiration!
Forever developing our wisdom and effort, lead us to victorious lands.
Since we are all children of one mother,
Let us move forward without delay,
by ending all greed, hatred, dillusion, and ill-will,
And by developing love, compassion towards one another,
Towards a united One Nation,
Oh Mother, we bow down to you with deep, and sincere respect!
Our Sri Lanka,
Our Mother, we bow down to you with deep, and sincere respect!
