I have a song in my heart

I had a song in my heart
A very sweet melody
The people of Sri Lanka
Lived in peace and harmony
After the misery of thirty years war
I had a song of my heart
Lived happily; visited many places
Various occasions with blooming Sri Lanka
What a beautiful paradise then
I had a song in my heart
Just after the new year
On the day of Easter Sunday
My sweet melody collapsed
A melancholy song took place
I have a melancholy song in my heart
Hundreds stood in front of the cross
Were destroyed in a second
By the brutal extreme terrorists
No more paradise
Now I have a melancholy song in my heart
