In land of the Thunder Dragon
Where the flow of the Buddha Dharma is continued
To the secluded and deprived people like us
God gifted us a King Extraordinary
He provides us with everything we need
Thus, he is truly the people’s king
Within a brief reign of the His Majesty
Love and compassion pervaded
Well-known for GNH and distinct from the rest nations
Through the idiosyncrasy of culture and tradition
Gift of the charismatic leadership of the King
Will be felt and sensed by everyone.
In this land of thunder Dragon
Wangchuck Dynasty had never failed
Unlike the kings in history who broke their nation for power
Throne granted freedom and right to the people here in this land.
Lucky we, the people feel but we worship our monarchs as of god.
Country is ensured of its sovereignty.
His Majesty is too kind and supportive
You bestow us equal opportunity
To safe our hunger and thirst
Your support for us will be remembered
Thank god for the gift you have granted
We are assured of the happiness you preach.
World won’t know another king, of ours kind for eons to go
Where freedom and needs are rendered from the throne
I promise to serve my King, Country and People
Under His Majesty’s benevolent Leadership
On the quest of Gross National Happiness
I’ll stand with my sleeves up any time.
