Tareng (Laos)
Verse 1
Na yɔ̄k chai khɔ̌ɔ wai kɔ̀ɔn chai na, Na tham hai khwaam fan khɔ̌ɔ pen thāng thi sak-sit, Sing thi kha kit tɛ̀ɛ phʉ̂a tua eng, Plian pen khwaam di thi mi khun kha. Mʉ̂a na lʉ̂ak khɔ̌ɔ nūa khwaam phum chai, Na phop tua eng thi thuk pit wai.
Verse 2
Khwaam rak sɔ̄n hai na hen jing, Nɔ̄̄k jāk sing thi chai tongkan, Khwaam suk khɔ̌ɔ klai pen thamnɔ̄ng, Kān tō̄tō̄̄ khɔ̌ɔ pen din hai winyan kin. Mʉ̂a na wai khɔ̌ɔ kɔ̀ɔn tua eng, Na phop sap sin thi jing.

Verse 1:
When I placed your heart before my own, And made your dreams my sacred quest, The selfish seeds I'd always sown Gave way to something far more blessed. In choosing you above my pride, I found the person locked inside.
Verse 2:
Love taught me how to truly see Beyond the mirror of my needs, Your joy became my melody, Your growth, the soil where my soul feeds. By putting you before myself, I discovered my truest wealth.
