Gba Majay Mymar (We Shall Love Burma) is the national anthem of Myanmar (formerly Burma).
The melody and lyrics were written by Saya Tin, and adopted as the Burmese national anthem in 1947. Although the official name of the country was changed to Myanmar in 1989, the words of the anthem do not appear to have been changed.
