Karadiya Gambare

කරදිය ගැඹරේ

කරදිය ගැඹරේ තුන්යම ගෙවුනේ

නුඹගේ දෑතට දිරිය වඩන්නයි

සුහුඹුල් අත්පා යදළු කරන්නයි

කිරිකැටි පුතුනේ...කිරිකැටි පුතුනේ...

අව්වට වැගිරෙන දාදිය වැස්සේ

කළුගල් තලලා මහමං තැනුවේ

නිවහල් ලොවකට නුඹට වඩින්යි

කිරිකැටි පුතුනේ...කිරිකැටි පුතුනේ...

කරදිය ගැඹරේ තුන්යම ගෙවුනේ…

දුම් ගොටු අතරේ කම්මල් ඇතුලේ

දැ‍තිරෝදෙට ගත ජීවය දුන්නේ

නව මිනිසෙකු නව ලොවට පුදන්නයි

කිරිකැටි පුතුනේ...කිරිකැටි පුතුනේ...

කරදිය ගැඹරේ...//
