WHAT IS TO BE DONE TODAY IF ONE REALLY LOVES THE
COUNTRY ?
( English translation )
If one really loves the country
There is work for you and me
Today to be done it be
Pride of race, pride of lineage
That is what we must raise
To promote it we must agitate
Efforts today we must take
Race, religion an sasana
We must make these flowers
Today we must endeavour
Cherished culture
And ten traditional flowers
To bloom in ASEAN and world
That's work today to be done
For breakup of unity
Evil influences sneak in
Colonialist disinformation
Fight it with might in unison
That is today our mission
For the new generation
Growing up in succession
Polish up the tender ones
As offspring of Asia, ASEAN
It is work today to be one
Maung Pan Hmway
