Sri-Lanka

You are my Shangri-La
Hidden in the sun
Recalling the land of my roots
When my life began.

Sri-Lanka
you are my Shangri-La
From this moment on
Take me away in dreams to the
Place I've been born
Recall all my memories
That nearly have been gone

I say hey

This place I wanna stay
Me and my baby
I'm sure I don't mean maybe today.
I say oh

Wish all my old friens would know
I'm almost in heaven

Sri-Lanka so don't let me go
oh no.

Sri-Lanka you are my Shangri-La

A golden memory.
Paradise
regained in the sun
Where I've found my key

Sri-Lanka I'll spek your sinala
From this moment on and let me keep
Pretending you're the isle where I've been born
Secret paradise
For dreamers like me on the run.

Shangri-La

Shangri-La is a fictional place described in the 1933 novel Lost Horizon by British author James Hilton. In the book, "Shangri-La" is a mystical, harmonious valley, gently guided from a lamasery, enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains. Shangri-La has become synonymous with any earthly paradise but particularly a mythical Himalayan utopia—a permanently happy land, isolated from the outside world. In the novel Lost Horizon, the people who live at Shangri-La are almost immortal, living years beyond the normal lifespan and only very slowly aging in appearance. The word also evokes the imagery of exoticism of the Orient.
