Sri Lanka National Anthem Lyrics - Sri Lanka - Sri Lanka people's Lyrics
Singer | Sri Lanka people's |
| CSri Lanka Matha is the official national anthem of Sri Lanka, sung in Sinhala. Written and composed by Ananda Samarakoon, a Lankan musician and pupil of Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore, this song was created in 1940 for a “National Anthem Competition” and officially adopted 11 years later in ‘51. |
As an English colony, prior to and even just after colonialism ended in the nation (known as Ceylon at the time), the British anthem had been used. The Second Republican Constitution gave “Sri Lanka Matha” constitutional recognition.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sri Lanka MathaApa Sri Lanka Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha
Sundara siri barini surandi athi soba mana Lanka
Dhanya dhanayan neka mal palathuru piri jaya bhoomiya ramya
Apa hata sapa siri setha sadhana jeevanay matha
Piliganu mena apa bhakthi pooja Namo Namo Matha
Apa Sri Lanka Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha
[Bridge]
Obave apa vidyaObamaya apa sathya
Obave apa shakthi
Apa hada thula bhakthi
Oba apa aloke
Apage anu prane
Oba apa jeevanave
Apa mukthiya obave
[Verse 2]
Nava jeevana demine nithina apa pubudu karan matha
Gnana veerya vadawamina ragana yanu mana jaya bhoomi kara
Eka mawaka
