Lyrics :

ගවහලේ පිදුරු මිටිය මට වෙන්නට තිබුණානම්
ගවහලේ වසුපැටවෙකු මට වෙන්නට තිබුණානම්
මා කෙතරම් වාසනාවන්තද
මා කෙතරම් සන්තෝසද
අප රටේ නත්තල් දා සාමය තිබුණා නම්

පටපිළි දවටා විලවුන් ඇඟලා යනවා අපි පල්ලි
රතිඤ්ඤා පුපුරා රුපියල් වනසා
මත්වී සතුටු වෙවී
ගිනිගෙන දැවෙනා ලක්දෙරණේ
නත්තල තනිවීලා
තල් අතු මැදුරේ පාලුවේ
නත්තල නැවතිලා
පොඩ්ඩක් හිතන්න සුමිතුර
හිතට කතා කර

ආසියාවේ ඉපදුණ ජේසුනි
අපේ රටට එන්න
සැවොම බලාගෙන ඉන්නේ සමිඳුනි
ඔබ එනතුරු ලොවට
අගහිඟකම් පිරි නිවහනේ
නත්තල තනිවීලා
රට ගැන හිතනා හදවතේ
නත්තල නැවතීලා
පොඩ්ඩක් හිතන්න සුමිතුර
හිතට කතා කර

ගවහලේ තරුකිරණක් මට වෙන්නට තිබුණා නම්
ගවහලේ වසු පැටවෙකු මට වෙන්නට තිබුණානම්
මා කෙතරම් වාසනාවන්තද
මා කෙතරම් සන්තෝසද
මා කෙතරම් වාසනාවන්තද
මා කෙතරම් සන්තෝසද
අපි කෙතරම් වාසනාවන්තද
අපි කෙතරම් සන්තෝසද

Oh how I wish I were there O my Lord..
When you were born in the manger O Lord..
Oh how I wish I were there O my Lord..
When you were born in the manger O Lord..
Wish there is peace in Sri Lanka this Christmas O Lord..


Oh..
සාමය තිබුණා නම්..
සැනසුම තිබුණා නම්..
සෙනෙහස තිබුණා නම්.. තිබුණා නම්..
