"Pheng Xat Lao" (Lao: ເພງຊາດລາວ; lit. English: Hymn of the Lao People) is the national anthem of the Lao People's Democratic Republic. Dr. Thongdy Sounthonevichit composed the music and wrote the lyrics in 1941. This was adopted as the national anthem of the Kingdom of Laos in 1945. The original lyrics were revised after the Pathet Lao won the Laotian Civil War and the Lao People's Democratic Republic was established in 1975, with the new lyrics written by Sisana Sisane.
ຊາດລາວຕັ້ງແຕ່ໃດມາ
ລາວທຸກທົ່ວຫນ້າເຊີດຊູສຸດໃຈ
ຮ່ວມແຮງຮ່ວມຈິດຮ່ວມໃຈ
ສາມັກຄີກັນເປັນກຳລັງດຽວ
ເດັດດ່ຽວພ້ອມກັນກ້າວຫນ້າ
ບູຊາຊູກຽດຂອງລາວ
ສົ່ງເສີມໃຊ້ສິດເປັນເຈົ້າ
ລາວທຸກຊົນເຜົ່າສະເໜີພາບກັນ
ບໍ່ໃຫ້ພວກຈັກກະພັດ
ແລະພວກຂາຍຊາດເຂົ້າມາລົບກວນ
ລາວທັງມວນຊູເອກະລາດ
ອິດສະຫລະພາບຂອງຊາດລາວໄວ້
ຕັດສິນໃຈສູ້ຊີງເອົາໄຊ
ພາຊາດລາວໄປສູ່ຄວາມວັດທະນາ
Xat Lao tang tè dai ma
Lao thoukthoua na xeutxou soutchai,
Houamhèng houamchit houamchai
Samakkhi kan pén kamlang diao.
Détdiao pom kan kaona
Bouxa xou kiat khong Lao,
Sôngseum xai sit pén chao
Lao thouk xônphao sameu phap kan.
Bo hai phouak chakkaphout
Lè phouak khayxat khaoma lôp kouan,
Lao thang mouan xou ékalat
Itsalaphap khong xat Lao vai,
Tat sinchai sou xing ao xai
Pha xat Lao pai sou khouam vatthana.
For all time the Lao people
Have glorified their Fatherland,
United in heart,
Spirit and vigour 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.
