In the land of the pearl, where the oceans meet

Lies a nation of beauty, of history so sweet

With a rich past, of glory and strife

Sri Lanka is a land, that is full of life

From the time of the ancient kingdoms, long before

To the Portuguese and the British, who wanted more

It has seen it all, the rise and the fall

But the spirit of the nation, stands tall

The land of Sri Lanka, was born with its name

A nation that has always, been proud of its fame

A nation that's blessed, with a beauty so rare

A land of true wonder, where dreams come to share

With mountains and forests, and the sandy shores

Sri Lanka is a land, that's diverse and more

From Sigiriya to Galle, and to Kandy's hills

Its beauty is beyond, what the eye can fulfill

The people of Sri Lanka, are a mix of many

Different cultures, languages, and plenty

They come together, in a nation so great

Where unity in diversity, is their fate

Through wars and conflicts, Sri Lanka has stood

With a resilience that is truly good

Its people have faced, challenges with grace

And have never lost hope, in any case

Sri Lanka, a land of a thousand wonders

Of stories and legends, and of great thunders

A nation that is proud, of its rich past

And will always strive, to make its future last

So here's to Sri Lanka, a land so true

A nation that has much, that it can do

With a spirit that's strong, and a heart so pure

Sri Lanka, your beauty will forever endure
