School Anthem
(Composed by Mr. Karunaratne Abeysekera.)
අසෝක නාමය සමරා - ශිල්ප කලා සිතේ දරා //
විරියෙන් එඩියෙන් පිය නගමු - හැදුමෙන් දැනුමෙන් ඉහළ යමු
ගුණයෙන් නුවණින් නිති සැදෙමු - අසෝක විදුහල් මව රකිමු
අසෝක නාමය සමරා //
ජය දද සෙවනේ පෙරට යමු - දියුණුවෙ රන් මිණි ඇහිඳ ගමු උදාර දෙස බස රැස නගමු - අසෝක විදුහල් මව රකිමු
අසෝක නාමය සමරා //
asōka nāmaya samarā - śilpa kalā sitē darā //
viriyen eḍiyen piya nagamu - hædumen dænumen ihaḷa yamu
guṇayen nuvaṇin niti sædemu - asōka viduhal mava rakimu
asōka nāmaya samarā //
jaya dada sevanē peraṭa yamu - diyuṇuve ran miṇi æhin̆da
gamu udāra desa basa ræsa nagamu - asōka viduhal mava rakimu
asōka nāmaya samarā //
