In 1941 the Laos National Anthem was composed. In 1947 when the kingdom of Laos was created the anthem was first used. The anthem was kept even after the royal family was deposed in the 1975 Communist revolution. However new words were written.
The original National Anthem of Laos is
Xatlao tangtae dayma lao thookthunana xeutxoosootchay,
Huamhaeng huamchit huamchay samakkhikan pen kamlang diao.
Detdiao phomkan kaona booxa xükiat khong lao,
Songseum xaysit pen chao laothook xonphao sameu pabkan.
Bo hay foong chackkaphat lae phuak khayxat khaomalob kuan,
Lao thangmuan xoo ekkalat itsalaphab khong xatlao vay,
Tatsin chay soo xing ao xay phaxat kaopay soo khuam vatthana.
The English translation of the National Anthem in Laos goes like this
For all time the Lao people have glorified their Fatherland,
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.
Laos National Anthem shows the love and respect of the people to their country. It is sung in important occasions.
