Sri-Lanka ... my Shangri-La
Sri-Lanka, you are my Shangri-La
hidden in the sun
Recalling the land of my roots
when my life began
Sri-Lanka, you are my Shangri-La
from this moment on
Take me away in dreams
to the place I've been born
Recall all my memories
that nearly have been gone
I say hey! (Hey!)
This is the place I wanna stay
Me and my baby
I'm sure I don't mean maybe today
I say oh! (Oh!)
Wish all my old friends would know
I'm almost in heaven
Sri-Lanka, so don't let me go, oh no
Sri-Lanka I'll speak your sinhala
from this moment on
And let me keep pretending you're the isle
where I've been born
Secret paradise
for dreamers like me on the run
I say hey! (Hey!)
This is the place I wanna stay
Me and my baby
I'm sure I don't mean maybe today
I say oh! (Oh!)
Wish all my old friends would know
I'm almost in heaven
Sri-Lanka, so don't let me go, oh no
