Dap Prampi Mesa Chokchey

"Dap Prampi Mesa Chokchey" (Khmer: ដប់ប្រាំពីរមេសាមហាជោគជ័យ, Dâbprampi Mésa Môhachokchey, lit. "Victorious Seventeenth of April") was the national anthem of the 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.
