O' klen bopha, krom doung dara, reatrey khae pleu,

chantrea penh vong, jeng jang ponleu, pka sourkear rir

kropom knong suon.

Pka akombang, krom chan jeng jang, pka bet bang kloun,

bomnong bes pka, bopha sros sngoun, ter leak bompoun,

leak klourn tver avey?

Sromay kheung pka, dai chong srorvar, kach pka pisey,

pka roleay but, sol tae chan thlai, kondarl reatrey,

alai bopha.

Kror-ob avey mles, kunthea pises, nea khae pleu thlar,

pka mean tae mouy, min doch dara, peas penh vehar,

dara reatrey.

Doungchan pleu men, monous roub sen, sorseu chan thlai,

tae chan kmean klen, doch pka joronay, pka nos pka avey?
