Hail, the saviours of our nation

By Malinee Talaiver

You men and boys of the forces,
Braving guns, missiles and shells,
Saved our beloved country;
You began the fight at Mavil Aru,
Continued with Thoppigala,

Then the great battles
Containing the terrorists from
East, west, north and south.
You sacrificed your lives
Your limbs, voices, even eyes

We offer our humble salutations
To you, the Greatest and Bravest
Sons of Mother Lanka.

May those who gave their lives
Be born again in our beloved land
To witness the prosperity you heralded.
This is our hope and prayer
For our country.

Hail the heroes.
