Phleng Sansoen Phra Barami

Phleng Sansoen Phra Barami

Phleng Sansoen Phra Barami (Thai เพลงสรรเสริญพระบารมี) is the royal anthem of Thailand. The music was composed by a Russian composer named Pyotr Schurovsky. The lyics were composed by Prince Narisaranuvadtivongs, around 1913, and were later revised by King Rama VI. Phleng Sansoen Phra Barami was the national anthem of Siam until 1932, when it was replaced by Phleng Chat. The royal anthem is performed during state occasions, as well as when a high-ranking member of the royal family is present for a function. In addition, the royal anthem is still played before the beginning of each film in movie theatres, as well as before the commencement of the first act in plays, musicals, concerts, and most other live performances of music or theatre in Thailand.

In April, 2008, it was reported that a Thai citizen was facing criminal charges of "Lèse majesté" for failing to stand for the playing of the Royal Anthem at a movie theatre in Bangkok. [http://www.bangkokpost.com/News/23Apr2008_news04.php]

Lyrics

English translation

: I, servant of His Majesty,: Extend my heart and body to his feet,: To pay respect and give praise: To the protector of the country,: To the great Chakri Dynasty,: To the leader of the Siamese people in might and splendor,: The people, in peace and contentment: From his tireless labor and guidance,: Pray, that whatever he wills,: Will come to pass for his glory
