Transcription (not proofread):

අම්මා වැනි මට සැනසුම දුන්නේ
නම්මා සිත ගුණයට මුණි දුන්නේ
දැන්මා මේ මල් දෝතට ගන්නේ
සඟමිත් මහ තෙරණිය නමදින්නේ

ammā væni maṭa sænasuma dunnē
nammā sita guṇayaṭa muṇi dunnē
dænmā mē mal dōtaṭa gannē
saṅgamit maha teraṇiya namadinnē

amma vani mata sanasuma dunne
namma sita gunayata muni dunne
danma me mal dotata ganne
sangamit maha teraniya namadinne

Translation (automated, not verified):

Comforted me like a mother
Namma gave wisdom to Sita Guna
Now I take these flowers
Sangamith Maha Theraniya is called
