Praise the Isaan:
Here forever,
Great Republic of
Southeast Asia!
The crisscrossing
mountains stand alone,
The wide-spreading
rivers are the waves of
the Isaan;
Millions of people under
the auspice of Buddha,
The land is sweet and
the land is great.
Wave the That Phanom
emblem of the Republic,
Sing the song of our
Republic!
------------------------------------------------------------------
The People of Isaan:
The Nation of the
People,
The fundamentals of our
Republic.
Using this, we establish
the Country for the
People;
Using this, we advance
into a state of total
peace.
Oh, you, warriors,
For the people, be the
protectors.
Without resting day or
night,
Follow Compassion.
Swear to be open-minded;
swear to be courageous.
Obliged to be
trustworthy; obliged to
be loyal.
With one heart and one
virtue,
We carry through until
the very end.
------------------------------------------------------------------
New Nation of Isaan:
Southeast Asia is
thriving, and Isaan is
the earliest.
Admiring America and
erasing Siam,
The new nation is under
construction.
The five-colored flag
flutters,
The Republic is
glorious.
The embroidered
mountains and rivers are
shone upon.
My patriots,
Arouse the Isaan Issara.
The peace will forever
be protected.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Great Isaan:
How great is our Isaan!
The only Nation with
equality in Asia.
Our provinces are one
family.
Our Rice and Som Tam are
the first in the World.
Calling this nation
America in Asia is not
boasting.
Don't you see: Siam,
now smaller, still
dying.
How much more our great
Isaan?
Join as one body.
Excite our spirit.
In this new world of the
century,
Strongly soar among
fellow equality.
How lovely is our
people!
How lovely is our
people!
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Land of Love:
Land of Love, we love
and cherish,
Beloved homeland of our
brave heroes;
We must defend our lives
or we shall perish,
We shall protect our
hearts from all our
foes;
But if the price is
death for all we hold
dear,
Then let us die without
a shred of fear.
Long live Isaan,
democratic nation,
Oh Love, this be our
solemn pledge:
Defending everyone shall
be a dedication,
Spilling our blood we’ll
count a privilege;
The waving standard
which emboldens the free
Shall always be our flag
of liberty.
We shall emerge
triumphant from this
ordeal,
And through the crucible
unscathed we’ll pass;
When we are poised the
wounds of battle to
heal,
We shall remember those
who died in mass;
Then shall our trumpets
peal the glorious song
Of victory we scored
o’er might and wrong.
Oh Buddha, teach us from
failing,
Guide all our movements
lest we go astray;
Give us the strength to
heed the humanist call:
"To give and not to
count the cost" each
day;
Bless those who rule to
serve with resoluteness,
To make this clime a
land of righteousness.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh Sweet Isaan!:
Isaan my native land,
the land where I shed my
blood.
There I stand, being a
soldier of Isaan!
Isaan my nation and my
country.
Let us exclaim "Isaan
Issara!"
Live my land, live my
state,
My nation, my people,
all.
Build its spirit, build
its equality
For Sweet Isaan!
Sweet Isaan, independent
and free,
My land, my country,
which I love.
Great Isaan, independent
and free,
Long live Sweet Isaan!
Isaan, an open country,
our cheerful country.
There we shall be
forever.
Isaan, the country of
our American, Khmer, and
Lao ancestors, a relic
of all of us.
Let us pray for Isaan's
prosperity.
May her soil be fertile
and spirited her soul,
The nation and all the
people.
Conscious be her heart
and her mind
For Isaan the Sweet!
Isaan, a sacred country,
our victorious country.
There we stand, guarding
our Land.
Isaan, a shining
country, a country we
love with all our heart.
Let's make a vow, "Isaan
be there forever!"
Blessed be her people
and her children,
All her rice fields, and
her mountains.
Fast be the country's
progress and the
progress of her youth
For Isaan the Sweet!.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Protect our Land:
Isaan protect our Land
And give us happiness
and love
To warm our hearts and
our destinies,
The one being, father of
the Republic,
guiding the proud land
of Isaan.
Temples are asleep in
the jungle,
Remembering the
sweetness of khao neaw.
Like an elephant the
Isaan race is strong.
Let us trust in the fate
of Isaan Issara,
The Republic which
challenges the ages.
Songs rise up from the
temples
To the glory of the holy
Buddha and Jesus Christ.
Let us be faithful to
everyone and our
beliefs.
Thus Isaan will treasure
us with prosperity
Towards the Isaan
nation, the Isaan
Issara.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Isaan Liberation of
Laos and Kampuchea:
For all time the Isaan
people have glorified
the Republic,
United in heart, spirit
and compassion as one.
Resolutely moving
forwards,
Respecting and
increasing the dignity
of the Isaan people
And proclaiming the
right to be their own
masters.
The Isaan, Lao, and
Khmer people of all
origins are equal
And will no longer allow
corruption and
insecurity to harm them.
The entire people will
safeguard the
independence
And the freedom of the
Isaan nation.
They are resolved to
struggle for victory
In order to lead the
nation to prosperity.
