[English]

You’re my paradise,

Running in my veins is the colour of waves

I’ll be coming home,

light years or more can’t keep me away

You’re my paradise,

Running in my veins is the colour of waves

I’ll be coming home,

light years or more can’t keep me away

Music of my land and tongue

Calling is our "Ayubowan"

Where there is love, there is home

Take a sip of warmth and,

Let the truth be salt and sun

"Isthuthi" see you again

You’re my paradise

running in my veins is the colour of waves

I’ll be coming home

light years or more can’t keep me away

You’re my paradise

running in my veins is the colour of waves

I’ll be coming home,

light years or more can’t keep me away

You’re my paradise

I’m coming home,

can’t keep me away....

So Sri Lanka
