Gba Majay Bma

Gba Majay Mymar (We Shall Love Burma) is the national anthem of Myanmar (formerly Burma).

The melody and lyrics were written by Saya Tin, and adopted as the Burmese national anthem in 1947. Although the official name of the country was changed to Myanmar in 1989, the words of the anthem do not appear to have been changed.

Till the end of the world, Myanmar!,

Land of our forefathers.

We fight and give our lives

For our union.

For her we responsibly shoulder the task,

Standing as one in duty to our precious land.
