The national anthem of Thailand (Thai: เพลงชาติไทย, romanized: Phleng Chāt Thai, Thai pronunciation: [pʰlēːŋ t͡ɕʰâːt̚ tʰāj]) is a national song representing Thailand, created in 1932. Composed in the same year by Phra Chenduriyang, it originally had no lyrics (words). Later that year, words by Khun Wichitmatra were adopted; two years later, the lyrics were changed by Chan Khamvilai. Then in 1939, when the country's name was changed from "Siam" to "Thailand", the lyrics written by Luang Saranupraphan were made official after winning a competition, and this has since remained the national anthem today.[1][2]
Negara Thai menyatukan daging dan darah Thai.
Tanah Thai milik orang Thai.
Lama sudah kemerdekaan kita,
Kerana orang Thai telah bersatu selamanya.
Orang Thai cinta damai dan penyayang, tapi bukan pengecut dalam perang.
Kedaulatan kita tak akan pernah terancam,
Kita akan korbankan setiap titisan darah kita demi bangsa kita.
Kita bersedia mati demi kebebasan, keamanan, dan kemakmuran, hore!
The flesh and blood of every Thai united,
This land of Thailand sacred to every Thai!
Their sway since days of yore persisted,
Love and unity heart of every Thai!
Though the Thais love peace, dauntlessly we fight,
Our freedom shan't be taken away.
We'll sacrifice ourselves with every might,
Long live Thailand's glory and victory, hooray!
Let us all sacrifice our lives
To maintain the rights to freedom the land of Siam
That the ancestors tried to fight until their death
Eliminate the enemies of Thailand to perish
Even though the Thai disaster is inferior
But still able to restore the independence back
It is an honor to the beautiful Ayutthaya
That is not an end to good people.
All of us, we are of Thai blood
Doesn't allow anyone to oppress us
Protect rights and freedom
When disaster helped each other until the day of death
If we die, the name will be spread
That Thailand is firmly in love with the nation
Have great friendship for both men and women
The glory of Siam will never be lost, hurrah!
The Siamese land is renowned as the land of gold.
The Thais have conquered this beautiful land.
The Thai people have served it ever since the Ancient times.
United, we have defended it
In some eras, our foes have attacked us.
But the Thais sacrificed their lives to save their motherland.
With blood, we fought for our sovereignty
And hitherto we have kept Siam alive.
This Siamese land is the bulwark of the Thai race
Our blood runs through this nation's veins.
Independence is like a pagoda we honor
We will rise and stand as one.
To protect our motherland and sovereignty so dear.
There will be no mercy for those who dishonor it.
We shall massacre them until their last.
To glorify our great Siamese land, hurrah!
