Mother,

Beautiful woman, woman of Ceylon, O my mother, I am thinking of you...

O my mother, You carried me on your back. You fed me, You were the first to open my eyes to the wonders of earth. I am thinking of you...

Woman of the fields, Woman of the rivers, O my mother, I am thinking of you...

O my mother, who dried my tears and filled my heart with laughter. How I should love to be a little child beside you again !!

Beautiful woman, woman of Ceylon, O my mother, let me thank you for all that you have done for me, your son.. though so far away, he is still close to you...!!

Your Son.
