"Kambodja ska bli vårt" (Cambodia Will Be Ours) is a Swedish song written in support of the Indochinese struggles for freedom against US imperialism in the 1970s. It was written by Carsten Palmer and is here performed by the FNL group (part of the DFFG) of Lund on the 1974 album "Framtiden Är Vår: Sånger Till Vietnam" (The Future Is Ours: Songs for Vietnam). This is the Swedish version of the Cambodian revolutionary song "ឈាមក្រហមឆ្អៅ" (The Red Flag of Revolution).
It is worth noting that this translation and recording were made before the Khmer Rouge were associated with atrocities, and is instead a tribute to them, just like any other tribute to the Viet Cong or Pathet Lao from the era. More information on the song, from the lyric sheet itself, can be found below.
"'Cambodia Will Be Ours' was written in 1972 and, like many other Cambodian songs [of the era], was written to unite the Cambodian people against US imperialism. The song is also a tribute to all the Cambodians who offered their lives for the freedom of their country. The song refers to 'our red flag,' meaning the Cambodian flag drenched in the blood the people offered in the struggle. In Sweden, 'Cambodia Will Be Ours' has become the song we most associate with Cambodia; it is often sung at meetings and demonstrations."
Also, I am aware that the third photo depicts MONATIO and not the Khmer Rouge. I find it darkly ironic.

-- Lyrics --
Säg, vår fana röd, din färg, var fick du den?
Från dem som, med sin död, gav oss vårt liv igen.
Vår röda fana fladdrar segerrik,
Framåt marsch, kamrat,
Kambodja ska bli vårt!
Vår röda fana fladdrar segerrik,
Framåt marsch, kamrat,
Kambodja ska bli vårt!
Arbetare, bönder, fattiga från stan,
Ungdomar och kvinnor, drömmare och barn,
De gav sitt blod för folkets frihet,
Framåt marsch, kamrat,
Kambodja ska bli vårt!
Vår röda fana fladdrar segerrik,
Framåt marsch, kamrat,
Kambodja ska bli vårt.
Fana röd, led vår kamp,
Vi ska krossa förtryckets bastion.
Bomber fälls mot vårt land,
Men ur gruset vi bygger en nation.
Fana röd, som vårt blod,
Fram till seger mot all reaktion!
Till kamp, framåt! Till kamp, framåt!
Till seger, seger i vårt folks revolution!
Framåt marsch! Framåt marsch! Framåt marsch!
