They are resolved to struggle for victory In order to lead the nation to prosperity. |

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. |
