Atha Nilwan Guwan Wimanin Lyrics Singlish
Aatha nilwan guwan wimanin
Ruwan eliyak mathu wemin
Jothimath weyi anaagathayak
Mage rata daya naamayen
Daatha wehesaa wada kireemen
Gathe daa diya waguramin
Waasanaawe madura wetha yamu
Andura binda eliyen ruwan
Mage me rata mage jaathiya
Yana hithak oba thula nowe nam
Pipewida jaathika ruke mal suwanda wihidana
Dediga loke
Obe wehesin thanena loke
Obe daruwan pana labanne
Udaa kala daa anna e lowa
Jaathiye naamaya rakenneඈත නිල්වන් ගුවන් විමනින් ගී පද
ඈත නිල්වන් ගුවන් විමනින්
රුවන් එළියක් මතු වෙමින්
ජෝතිමත් වෙයි අනාගතයක්
මගේ රට දැය නාමයෙන්
දෑත වෙහෙසා වැඩ කිරීමෙන්
ගතේ දා දිය වගුරමින්
වාසනාවේ මැදුර වෙත යමු
අඳුර බිඳ එළියෙන් රුවන්
මගේ මේ රට මගේ ජාතිය
යන හිතක් ඔබ තුළ නොවේ නම්
පිපේවිද ජාතික රුකේ මල් සුවඳ විහිදන
දෙදිග ලෝකේ
ඔබේ වෙහෙසින් තැනෙන ලෝකේ
ඔබේ දරුවන් පණ ලබන්නේ
උදා කළ දා අන්න ඒ ලොව
ජාතියේ නාමය රැකෙන්නේAtha Nilwan Guwan Wimanin Lyrics English Translation
From the far blue mansion of the sky,
a jewel-light comes rising up,
a radiant future dawns bright,
in the name of my country and people
By tiring the two hands with work,
pouring the sweat of the body down,
let us go toward the mansion of fortune,
jewel-bright, breaking the darkness with light
This country of mine, my nation,
if that thought is not within you,
will the fragrant flowers of the national tree
bloom and spread to both ends of the world?
In the world built by your toil,
your children come to life,
on the day that world dawns, there,
is where the name of the nation is preserved

Atha Nilwan Guwan Wimanin Song Meaning and Interpretation
A stirring patriotic anthem about building the nation through honest labour, from the maestro Amaradeva. It opens on a hopeful vision: from the far blue mansion of the sky, a jewel-light comes rising, and a radiant future dawns, in the name of my country and people. The future is imagined as light breaking over the land.
The middle names how that future is earned, not by fortune but by work. By tiring the two hands with work, pouring the sweat of the body down, it says, let us go toward the mansion of fortune, jewel-bright, breaking the darkness with light. Prosperity is the reward of sweat and effort.
The close turns it into a moral appeal. If the thought this country of mine, my nation is not truly in you, it asks, will the fragrant flowers of the national tree ever bloom and spread to both ends of the world? For in the world built by your toil, your children come to life, and only when that world dawns is the name of the nation preserved. Sung by W. D. Amaradeva to words by Madawala S. Rathnayake (from a 1969 radio Nirmana Gee programme), it is a dignified, uplifting patriotic classic about love of country expressed through hard work, and a future built by one’s own hands for one’s children.
