Thai

Chan jon, mai mi khon mong hen
Jueng gor gam tham waen duai jam jai
Kwam hiew mai ko krai ock krai
Chan hod rai pro chan rae ngoen dra
Chab puen yuen ror vela
Sot sai sai ta ha yua
Plon kow ow ngoen ma juen juer
Look mia to yang hiew so

Kham kuen chan yuen you diow dai
Jut mung mai kong chan nan kuer ngoen
Pen sing diow ti narm kwam plerd plerm
Chan yam duen duai rong tow check koh
Sua yeen si dam som so
Koo jai trong pai jon gai ho
Wang ja lieng luk noi jon derp to
Song si hai jow mi wisha

Priap dang kang kow ratri
Choab bin lai pi naan ma
Rod pon godmai took kra
Anija muen ying dai jai
Bap gam nan kong darm tan
Wan nan chan ka khon dai
Plon khow khow kuen kat jai
Shan ko pop look mia duai a/lai

Ja sang sia pram son wai gon dai
Jow jong pap tung kai wai sakkin
God look narm to lai rin
Waew (dai) yin look noi rong ja
Jow yang mai kow jai rog na
Wa por don mata ye sip ed

English

I�m poor; no-one looks out for me
When you�re poor no-one wants to know
And fate works out as it must
No mercy �cause I had no dough
Grabbed my friends and waited around
Looked around for people to hit
Held up the guys with the cash
To feed my wife and my kid

At night I stood waiting alone
Staking out the places with loot
The only thing that can help you forget
Kicking round in Reebok boots
Black jeans out at the knee
Comfy right through till dawn
Hoped to give to my kid
The chance that I�d never known

A vampire in the night
Flitting round as the years went past
Always ahead of the law
It was evil but it was a blast
But fate turned up at my door
The night I shot a man dead
While I was robbing him
Then ran home to my wife and kid

At home I talked for hours
Taught the kid to flod bags to sell
Hug the kid while tears run down
Listen to the baby sob
He�s too young to understand
Dad�s up against Law 21
