ຊາດລາວຕັ້ງແຕ່ໃດມາ ລາວທຸກຖ້ວນຫນ້າເຊີດຊູສຸດໃຈ
ຮ່ວມແຮງຮ່ວມຈິດຮ່ວມໃຈ ສາມັກຄີກັນເປັນກຳລັງດຽວ
ເດັດດ່ຽວພ້ອມກັນກ້າວຫນ້າ ບູຊາຊູກຽດຂອງລາວ
ສົ່ງເສີມໃຊ້ສິດເປັນເຈົ້າ ລາວທຸກຊົນເຜົ່າສະເໝີພາບກັນ
ບໍ່ໃຫ້ຝູງຈັກກະພັດ ແລະພວກຂາຍຊາດເຂົ້າມາລົບກວນ
ລາວທັງມວນຊູເອກະລາດ ອິດສະລະພາບຂອງຊາດລາວໄວ້
ຕັດສິນໃຈສູ້ຊິງເອົາໄຊ ພາຊາດກ້າວໄປສູ່ຄວາມວັດທະນາ

[edit] English translation

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.

ຊາດລາວຕັ້ງແຕ່ເດີມມາ ຂື້ນຊື່ລືຊາຢູ່ໃນອາຊີ

ຮັກຊາດຮັກປະເທດເຮົາ ຮັກເຈົ້າປົກເກດເກສາ
ໂຮມຮັກຮ່ວມສາສນາ ແຕ່ບູຮານມາຮັກສາດິນແດນ
ບໍ່ໃຫ້ຊາດໃດມາລວນ ຮາວີຮົບກວນຍາດແຍ່ງຊີງເອົາ
ໃຜຂືນເຂົ້າມາລູ່ວຸ່ນວາຍ ສູ້ຈົນຕົວຕາຍຕ້ານທານສັດຕຼູ
ຊ່ວຍເຊີດຊູເລືອດເນື້ອເຊື້ອເຜົ່າ ຟື້ນຟູກູ້ເອົາບັນເທົາທຸກກັນ

Xat Lao Tang Tae Deum Ma, Keun Seu Leu Xa Yu Nay Asie,
Xao Lao Pouk Pan Maitli, Huam Samakkhi Hak Hoh Hoam Khan.
Hak Xat Hak Pathet Hao, Hak Jao Pok Ket Kesa,
Hoam Hak Huam Sasna, Tae Buhan Ma Haksa Din Dan.
Bo Hay Xat Day Ma Luan, Havi Hob Kuan Yaat Yeang Xing Ao,
Pai Kuen Khao Ma Lou Vunvay, Sou Jon Tua Thay Than Tan Sattlou,
Xuay Xeat Xou Luad Neua Xeua Pao, Fuen Fu Kou Ao Bantao Tuk Kan.

[edit] English translation

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 leaders.
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.
