Only unity brings peace,
Enmity never brings peace;
Gold, dollars, rupees
Are all secondary to peace.
Peace gained at the cost
Of countless human lives
Through thirty odd years
Should be preserved forever.
Such peace should not be
Disturbed but protected.
Those who gave leadership,
Those who gave resources,
Those who fought the last battle,
Are equal for the struggle
For victory, after thirty years
Of bloodshed and tears.
May the highest pedestal
Bring peace to our unitary isle.
May the guardian deities
Be vigilant against the evil forces
Attempting to disrupt our priceless peace.
May our beloved Mother Lanka
Be ever peaceful,
With all communities standing
Under one banner, smiling.
