Dap Prampi Mesa Chokchey

"Dap Prampi Mesa Moha Chokchey" (Khmer: ដប់ប្រាំពីរមេសាមហាជោគជ័យ, "Glorious Seventeenth of April") was the national anthem of Democratic Kampuchea from at least January 1976. Although the anthem may have been in use in the "liberated zone" much earlier, it was proclaimed the national anthem in article 18 of the Constitution of Kampuchea which was promulgated on 5 January 1976. Supposedly, the Khmer Rouge and/or Pol Pot himself wrote the piece, but its origin remains unknown.[1]

After Vietnam militarily intervened and forced the Khmer Rouge out of most of Cambodia, the People's Republic of Kampuchea was established and used a new anthem. However the Coalition Government of Democratic Kampuchea continued to use "Dap Prampi Mesa Chokchey" as its state anthem in exile. And since the Coalition Government was recognized as the legitimate government of Cambodia by many Western nations and the United Nations, its state anthem continued to be presented as the national anthem of Cambodia in the West until the restoration of the monarchy in 1993.

First verse

ឈាមក្រហមច្រាល
ស្រោចសព៌ក្រុងវាល
កម្ពុជាមាតុភូមិ
ឈាមកម្មករ កសិករដ៏ឧត្តម
ឈាមយុទ្ធជន យុទ្ធនារីបដិវត្តិ ។

Jhām kraham crāl

The bright scarlet blood
Flooded over the towns and plains of our
motherland Kampuchea,
The blood of our great workers and farmers,
Our revolutionary fighters' blood, both men and women.

Second verse

ឈាមប្រែក្លាយជា កំហឹងខ្លាំងក្លា
តសូមោះមុត
ដប់ប្រាំពីរមេសា ក្រោមទង់បដិវត្តិ
ឈាមរំដោះ អំពីភាពខ្ញុំគេ ។

Jhām prae klāy jā kaṃhiṅ khlāṃṅ klā

Their blood produced a great anger and the courage
To contend with heroism.
On 17 April, under the revolutionary banner,
Their blood freed us from the state of slavery.
