Sri Lanka Matha

Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.

L'hymne national Sri Lankais est le « Sri Lanka Matha », une composition d'Ananda Samarakoon d'après son œuvre « Namo Namo Matha » dont les paroles ont été légèrement modifiées pour la circonstance. Il a été choisi à l'issue d'un concours, le 22 novembre 1951.

Sri Lanka Matha, apa Sri Lanka,

Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha.

Sundara siri barini,

Surandi athi Sobamana Lanka

Dhanya dhanaya neka mal pala thuru piri, jaya bhoomiya ramya.

Apa hata sepa siri setha sadana, jee vanaye Matha!

Piliganu mana apa bhakti pooja,

Namo Namo Matha.

Apa Sri Lanka,

Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha,

Obave apa vidya obamaya apa sathya obave apa shakti

apa hada thula bhakti oba apa aloke

apage anuprane oba apa jeevana ve

apa muktiya obave

Nava jeevana demine nithina apa

Pubudu karan matha

Gnana veerya vadavamina ragena yanu

mana jaya bhoomi kara

Eka mavekuge daru kala bavina

yamu yamu wee nopama

Prema vadamu sama bheda durara da Namo Namo Matha

Apa Sri Lanka, Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha.

Mother Lanka we worship Thee!

Plenteous in prosperity, Thou,

Beauteous in grace and love,

Laden with corn 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.
