Sri Lanka My Shangri La
Jack Jersey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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.
The song "Sri Lanka My Shangri La" by Jack Jersey is a testament to a nostalgic yearning for the singer's homeland of Sri Lanka. The title "Shangri La" itself is a metaphor for a utopian place of happiness and contentment, a place where the singer can be at peace with his memories and the land of his roots. The opening line of the song "Sri Lanka, you are my Shangri La, hidden in the sun, recalling the land of my roots when my life began" sets the tone, where the singer refers to Sri Lanka as a land that is both hidden and recalled, a sweet memory of a paradise lost but also regained.
The song goes on to describe Sri Lanka as a "golden memory" of a "paradise regained in the sun," where the singer has found his key, a place where he can be at peace and speak his native language of Sinhala. The lyrics reveal a deep sense of longing for Sri Lanka, a place that represents a secret paradise for dreamers like him on the run. The chorus of the song repeats the sentiment of the singer's desire to stay in Sri Lanka with his baby, with no hesitation or doubt, as the singer knows that he is "almost in heaven."
