When the day is dawning
On a Eelam Sunday morning
How I long to be there
With Thalaivar who’s waiting for me there
Every lonely city
Where I carry The Umbrella
Ain’t as half as pretty
As where my Thalaivar at
Is this the way to Eeeelam
Every night I’ve been dreaming of my Thalaivar
Dreaming dreams of Eeeeealm
And sweet lord Thalaivar who waits for me
show me the way to Eeeeelam
I’ve been weeping like a Crocodile
Crying over Huuuuman Rights
And sweet lord Thalaivar who waits for me
Tha la la lala lalalaivar Tha la la lala lalalaivar
Tha la la lala lalalaivar and Thalaivar who waits for me
There’s a Suicide bomber blowing
Hear the song of joy that sinhaloids crying
For the sweet Thalaivar
And the Diaspora who’s coming to see him
Just beyond the A9 highway,
There’s an hidden bunker!!!
And it keeps me going
Through the claymore and mines
Is this the way to Eeeeelam
Every night I’ve been dreaming of my Thalaivar
Dreaming dreams of Eeeealm
And sweet lord Thalaivar who waits for me
Show me the way to Eeeelam
I’ve been weeping like Crocodile
Crying over Huuuuman Rights
And sweet lord Thalaivar who waits for me
Tha la la lala lalalaivar Tha la la lala lalalaivar
Tha la la lala lalalaivar and Thalaivar who waits for me
