Versuri Francium-Vietnam – Southeast Asia Part I. lyrics

Southeast Asia,
There are many jungles
Biodiverse in nature
Once ruled by mighty empires that rose and faded with time

Kingdom of Funan, 100 to 700
Capital is Oc Eo
Population mostly Hindu
Created ingots, jewelery and statues

Kingdom of Srivijaya, 650 to 1377
Capital is Palembang
Took most parts of the Malayan penisular, Sumatra and south Thailand
Threatened by the Chola Empire and the Majapahit

The Chola Empire, 850 to 1279
Rooted in South India, yet reaching across the seas
Launching naval expeditions into Southeast Asia
Building grand Hindu temples in stone

Majapahit Empire, 1293 to 1527
Capital is Towurlan
Population is mixed Hindu-Buddhist
They could expel the Mongols from their land

Sukhothai Kingdom, 1238 to 1438
First dawn of Thai independence
Buddhist kings in a growing land
Script and culture shaped the nation

Angkor Empire, 802 to 1431
Heart of the Khmer civilization
Stone temples rising toward the sky
Angkor Wat built for the gods

Dai Viet Kingdom, 1054 to 1804
Northern Vietnam’s enduring heart
Resisting China through many wars
Its identity carved through struggle and time

Sultanate of Malacca, 1400 to 1511
A port where seas and traders met
Spices, ships, and rising faith
Islam spread through merchant routes

Sultanate of Aceh, 1496 to 1903
Northern Sumatran power of trade
Pepper wealth and strong resistance
Fighting empires from afar

Sultanate of Brunei, from 1368 onward
Once a maritime regional power
Ruling coasts of Borneo seas
Still standing through changing times

Champa Kingdom, 192 to 1832
Coastal state of central Vietnam
Hindu temples and ocean trade
Gradually absorbed by neighbors

Lan Xang Kingdom, 1353 to 1707
Land of a million elephants
Center of Laos’ early history
Mountains and rivers shaped its rule

Ayutthaya Kingdom, 1351 to 1767
Siam’s golden river capital
A hub of trade and diplomacy
Fallen to invasion and fire

Southeast Asia, land of shifting tides
Where jungles grow and ancient power hides
From stone-built temples to trading seas
Its empires live on in memories and trees
