King Rajasinghe’s battle of Colombo
The situation in the city of Colombo was such that there were only about 300 Portuguese soldiers including the sick and the old. There were a few mercenaries too, to help them. Arms and ammunition were sufficient only to guard the fort. As such, the captain had to send an urgent appeal to Goa, asking for help. Then he did his best to strengthen the fort.
 
It’s almost here
It’s just around the corner,
It’s almost here,
It’s gonna be welcomed,
With so much cheer.
