Bok gun wai wun nun, lae chun gor roo
We told each other that day, and I knew

Wah ter ja glub ma muen gao
That you would return the same as before

Thae wa chun mai hen, mai jer mae ngao
But when I didn't see you, not even a shadow

Mai hen ter ja glub ma sia tee
I didn't see you returning at all

* Yib pbetitin ao ma keed tee la wun
I look up the calendar and mark off each day

Yoo tham lumpung throng nee
Remaining lonely over here

Pan pbai wun wun doo cha long took tee
The days that pass by seem slower every day

Dai thae ngao ngao yang nee pieng kon diew
All I can do is be lonely by myself

** Eek nan mai, eek nan mai
How much longer, how much longer

Yahk roo muarai tee chun ja jer jer ter
I'd like to know, when I will see you

Pben duen reu pben pbee, yahk ja roo muarai ja ma
Will it be months or years, I'd like to know when you will return

Eek nan mai, eek nan mai
How much longer, how much longer

Mai roo muarai, ja hen ter glub ma ha, yung ror took wela
I don't know when I will see you return, I still wait every time

Kae yahk roo wah ter ja ma muarai
I just want to know when you are returning

Thung thae chao wun nun, jon teung wunnee
From early that morning up untill today

Gor mee pieng thae kwam wang pblao
I've only been feeling emptiness

Yib ao pab wun nun kid teung rueng rao
I pick up the picture from that day and I think about us

Lae chun gor mong mer took krung pbai
And I gaze off every time

I'd like to know when you will return
