Sons of Shiva
Soldiers of Allah!
Conquerors of Thăng Long
Warriors of the Cham!

So long as one Cham live
Champa is not dead!
Lands taken by enemies
Will again be Cham!

====================

Galleon of the Spaniards
Junks of China!
Sailors of the Che Bunga
Wrecks of Vietnam!

So long as one Cham live
Champa is not dead!
Lands taken by enemies
Will again be Cham!

====================

Swords from the Portuguese,
Cannons from the Dutch!
Muskets from the Turks
Fear of the Cham!

So long as one Cham live
Champa is not dead!
Lands taken by enemies
Will again be Cham!
===================
