My most loving dearest Mother
You're my perpetual succour
You give me joy when I am sad
Prayerfully make me glad

With love listen to my entreaty
From heaven my mother Mary
Always protect me from sinning
From sorrows delivering

Mary Mother light of the blind
Supporting helping humankind
For us sinners you're a blessing
Mother Mary, ever loving

To celebrate the Feast today of the Immaculate Conception of Mary the Mother of Jesus Christ, celebrated in churches islandwide, an adaptation of the famous Sinhala song "Ma mawnee athi premaneeya" composed by the late Father Marcelline Jayakody. This English adaptation could be sung to the same melody.
