For all time, the Lao people
Have glorified their motherland,
United in heart,
Spirit and vigor as one.
Resolutely moving forwards,
Respecting and increasing the dignity of the Lao people
And proclaiming the right to be their own masters.
The Lao people of all origins are equal
And will no longer allow imperialists
And traitors to harm them.
The entire people will safeguard the independence
And the freedom of the Lao nation.
They are resolved to struggle for victory
In order to lead the nation to prosperity.
Haksat hak pathēt hao
Hak chao pak kēt kēsā
Hōm hak hūam sāsanā
Tǣ būhān mā hak sā tindǣn.
Bō̜ hai sāt dai mā luān
Hā vi hab kuān nyāt nyǣng sing ao
Phai khưn khao mā lū vunvāi
Su chan tao tāi tān thān sattrū.
Sūay sœ̄t su lư̄at nư̄a sư̄a phao
Phư̄n phū kū ao banthao thuk kan.
In the old days, our Lao people
Were famous all over Asia.
Because the Lao
Were united in love.
Still today, they love their people and country
And rally around their Kings.
They preserve the religion of their fathers,
And protect the soil of their ancestors.
They will never allow another nation to threaten them
Or to occupy their territory.
Every enemy who enters their country
Will find them ready to fight until death.
All together, they can restore the ancient glory of their blood,
and they will stand together in the days of danger.
Once our Laotian race
In Asia highly honored stood
And at that time the folk
Of Laos were united in love
Today they love their race
And rally round their chiefs
They guard the land and the
Religion of their ancestors
They will resist each foe
Who may oppress them or invade
And such invaders will
Be met with battle unto death
They'll restore the fame of Laos
And through ills united stand.
