To Mahakanadarawewa with love

You bring me
The elegance
Your exquisite
Calm me down

You nurture the
Fields of mine
You make my
People full of bliss

You stand for
My security at night
Alongside the moon
You take care of

Elephants roaming
Overnight
You give my stupa
A majestic look at night

Really, a majestic look
You hide no water
Though there’s drought
In dry September

You, the Guardian
Of mine, stand for me
Forever
The trust I kept on you
Is absolute
