As a result of a contest, Ananda Samarkone's contribution, written in Sinhalese, was chosen as the new anthem. The Tamil (another official language) lyrics are by an unknown author, but have the same meaning as the Sinhalese lyrics. It was first performed on the fourth anniversary of independence in early 1952.<a href="http://imageshack.us" target="_blank"><img src="http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/2689/46735925ou8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Sri Lanka Matha, apa Sri Lanka,Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha.Sundara siri barini,Surändi athi Sobamana LankaDhanya dhanaya neka mal pala thuru piri, jaya bhoomiya ramya.Apa hata säpa siri setha sadana, jee vanaye Matha!Piliganu mana apa bhakti pooja,Namo Namo Matha.Apa Sri Lanka,Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha,apa Sri Lanka, Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha.Obave apa vidya obamaya apa sathya obave apa shaktiapa hada thula bhakti oba apa alokeapage anuprane oba apa jeevana veapa muktiya obaveNava jeevana demine nithina apaPubudu karan mathaGnana veerya vadavamina ragena yanumana jaya bhoomi karaEka mavekuge daru kala bavinayamu yamu wee nopamaPrema vadamu sama bheda durara da Namo Namo MathaTAMIL LYRICSSri Lanka Thaayé, nam Sri Lanka, Namo Namo Namo Namo Thaayé.
