Da wait ar liang syrti
(Two edge sword in hand)
Ha suin kaweh ban prat lynti
(Held aloft to clear the way)
I'u khun u hajar
(For his captive people)
B'la shah ring mraw h'u riew sepngi
(In throes of alien sway)
Watla namding ki suh wiaw wiaw
(Braving the fiery flight of bullets)
Hakhmat ki tup ki man
(Defying the thunderous guns)
Horkit hordang um shim pyndem niuhmat ne kynran
(Never cowed down nor retreat, never did he flee or run)
Syrwet hapdeng u lyoh ba dum
(Up high, shafts of light shoot with brilliance)
Phalang haki suinbneng
(Watch them dispel clouds of grey)
B'la kyrsiew thiah I'u khun bynriew
Kynjri ring mraw ban weng
(Awakening us to cast the fetters away)
U Tirot Sing khlawait don nam pateng ha ngi u im
(Tirot Sing, warrior-ruler, you live in our memory forever)
Na tyrsim ka long mraw iangi u lah pyllait im
(From enslavement, the people you deliver)
All my life, I was raised to love my land
I was taught to respect our clans
For the sake of my people
I will strive to be their king
I will fight this fight today
I will not die in vain
Tomorrow is not gonna be the same
I will fight this fight today
I will not die in vain
Tomorrow is not gonna be the same
Hoi kiw
Hoi kiw
I will never break
The time has come and I must take a stand
Our sons and daughters, forever rule our lands
I will not sit back and watch these oppressors march through our lands
I will not let them disrespect
Will slay them down where they stand
My blood stained hands will secure the future of our generations
My blood stained hands will not be washed until we've won
I will fight this fight today
I will not die in vain
Tomorrow is not gonna be the same
I will fight this fight today
I will not die in vain
Tomorrow is not gonna be the same
Sacrifice
With my life I'll pay that price
On the blade of my sword I swear
My people will not be slaves
Nor will they live in fear
Hoi kiw
Hoi kiw
I will never break
The enemies at the gate
Let's not make them wait
To arms my countrymen
Let's embrace our fate
I would rather die by the sword
Than to live my life in shame and disgrace
My blood stained hands will secure the future of our generations
My blood stained hands will not be washed until we've won
My blood stained hands will secure the future of our generations
My blood stained hands will not be washed until we've won
Hoi Kiw
Ngin ia ieng pyrshah
(We will stand against our foes)
Hoi kiw
Ngin nym shah pynkylla mraw
(We will not become slaves)
Ngin nym long mraw
(We will not be slaves)
I will not be forgotten
I will not quit this fight
I will fight this fight today
I will not die in vain
Tomorrow is not gonna be the same
