Welcome to the Maldives

Welcome to the Maldives, where sands are white as the smiles of the locals, where
fish swim happily in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, where the weather is a
dream, and the deep rays of the sun wait to engulf you their arms.
In ancient times, the shores of the Maldives welcomed lost travellers. Still welcoming,
these shores remain, providing a tranquil haven for visitors.
(in thaana script):
Hindhu emaa kandu therein, Mala fehi ruhgas hedhey
Meemagey ufan bimey, Dheebu Dhivehi mee
Kula ali maa Kandu therein, Ali raiy mui hen dhirey
Meemagey ufan bimey, dheebu Dhivehi mee
Translation:
In horizon of the vast Indian Ocean grow green palms
This is my homeland, this is the Maldives
From the clear blue seas, we grow like pearls,
This is my homeland, this is the Maldives
(Dheebu Dhivehi Mee, Old Maldivian Folk song)
