Chuang cheewid kong kon pajon ton rueng rao
During a person's life we must meet and battle many things

Pachern tung rohn nao took took sing
We must confront hot, burning things

Mai mee tee rom bung tee wung hai puk ping
There is no shade that we can use for rest and shelter

Eek yung took tod ting hai dode diew
Furthermore, we are left to be lonely

* Ja thong ror eek tao rai ja lood pon
How much longer must I wait until I escape it?

Yung mee rueng wok won eek mahk maai
There are still many things that give problems

Thong jer payoo fon, thong ton lom pud nao
I must confront the storm, I must withstand the wind

Thong yim mae ja sao yoo rum pbai
I must always smile even though I'm sad

Yahk mee krai suk kon neung kon tee kao jai
I would like for someone to understand

Kae yahk pben thon mai tee mee krai koy doo lae
I just want to be a tree for someone to take care of

*

Pahn keun tee yao nahn
As the long night pases

Pahn wun tee took ton
As the painful day passes

Hak mee pieng suk hon dai ai oon
If there is ever a moment I feel the warmth

Rome pote tee ying yai, rome sai tee kum joon
Under the grand pote tree, under the generous sai tree

Sahp seung nai boon, koon mi keree pblien
I will be filled with blessings, unchanging

Ja kor boocha terd toon sood hua jai
I worship with all my heart
