22 September 1947 (by the Constituent Assembly of the Union of Burma)
The National Anthem[1] (နိုင်ငံတော်သီချင်း; lit.'State Song') is the national anthem of Myanmar. The song and lyrics were made by Saya Tin with help from a Burmese nationalist group called Thakins. It is made up of two parts. The first half is a traditional Burmese part. The second half is a Western-style orchestra part. Because of the second half, the "National Anthem" is commonly known as "Kaba Ma Kyei" (ကမ္ဘာမကျေ / ကမ္ဘာမကြေ, [ɡəbà mə t͡ɕè]; lit.'Till the End of the World').[2][3]
Accompanied with justice and freedom;
our nation, our motherland.
To bring peace to all people;
the nation having equal right and pure policy,
our nation, our motherland.
Let us preserve with vow
for perpetuity of our heritage of the Union.
𝄆 As long as the world exists, we love Myanmar,
the true heritage of our ancestors. 𝄇
We shall safeguard the Union by sacrificing our lives.
This is our nation, our motherland and our own land.
Let us serve unitedly for the interest of our nation, our motherland.
That is our duty for the precious land.
