The Tamil translation of the national anthem of Sri Lanka is written by famous Tamil poet Pandithar M.Nallathamby in 1950. Thanks to Jackie for suggesting this piece! Mother Lanka we salute Thee! Plenteous in prosperity, Thou, Beauteous in grace and love, Laden with grain and luscious fruit, And fragrant flowers of radiant hue, Giver of life and all good things, Our land of joy and victory, Receive our grateful praise sublime, Lanka! We worship Thee. It was first performed on the fourth anniversary of independence in early 1952. As a result of a contest, Ananda Samarakoon's contribution, written in Sinhalese, was chosen as the new anthem.
