Suthanthira swasam
Idhu nam dhesam
By language, by religion,
By race, by skin color,
Oh, how many divisions!
Only while all alone in the dark
Does freedom feel like a blessing.
You smiled, you hated,
You sowed bitterness,
In the end, you lost your peace.
Through division and greed, mercilessly in the dirt,
Why did you bury humanity?
Raising flags,
You drew boundary lines.
Dividing with lines,
You built nations.
Between those nations,
You sowed wars.
In the midst of wars,
You burned humanity.
Searching for the dawn,
Searching for answers,
Seeking freedom,
We became refugees.
The days ahead
Will change through love.
This is our land,
A breath of freedom.
A breath of freedom,
This is our land.
