sabai sabai (song)

[mai pen rai]

i've tried the http://www.ethaimusic.com/archives/index.php site, but without avail.

 

i don't usually do not nitpick songs i can't find a translation of on the aforementioned site, but i find myself listening to this song again and again and again, this version has brain washed me, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCBn6oZybPM

 

i'm trying to translate it myself, but i've not gotten very far, i find thai songs take me out of my "pimsleur comfort zone", if anyone can add bits and pieces to the pussle, or point to a translation, that would be wonderful, otherwise i'd be happy to share my work once i finish with a translation deemed respectable.

 

Sabai Sabai lyrics by Bird

sabai sabai

thuk jai ko khop kan pai

praok chan pen khon mai son arai

praok chan pen khon mai fheen jai khrai

Sabai sabai

Took jai gaw kop gun pai

Praw chun pen kon

Mai koey kid guan jai krai

Sabai sabai

Hahk row ja kop gun pai

Chun kau piang kwarm ruk

Row nun ja yoo rien roo gun pai

Ja took ja sook piang nai

Wah kid ja jark chun pai

Gaw kong kow jai wah tur taung pai

Gaw kong sia jai lae kong sia dai

Tae gaw young sa bai

Hahk tur ja ting gun pai

สบาย สบาย

 

สบาย สบาย It's OK.

 

ถูกใจก็คบกันไป If we like each other then we'll go together.

 

เพราะฉันเป็นคนไม่สนอะไร Because I'm the kind of person who isnot interested in anything ( in particular),

 

ไม่เคยคิดกวนใจใคร I never think of bothering anybody.

 

สบาย สบาย It's OK.

 

สบาย สบาย It's OK.

(I'm c(I'm cool; I'm "comfortable" with this arrangement.)

 

หากเราจะคบกันไป If we go on together,

 

คบกันไป go on together,

 

ฉันขอเพียงความรักและจริงใจ I'll ask only for love and sincerity.

 

ไม่เคยต้องการอะไร I won't ever want anything ( else ).

 

สบาย สบาย It's OK.

 

แล้วเธอก็คงเข้าใจ And you'll probably understand,

 

เรานั้นจะอยู่ เรียนรู้กันไป We'll live and learn together.

 

จะทุกข์จะสุขเพียงไหน However much pain and pleasure there is,

 

สบาย สบาย it'll be OK.

 

แม้วันใดที่ใจเธอเปลี่ยน Even if someday your heart should change,

 

ไม่เห็นจะแปลก It won't seem strange

 

เมื่อรู้จากปากว่าคิดจะจากฉ

[Dr.Winston]

I have great memories of the first TG I ever went with sitting on my lap in Patpong teaching me to sing along with this song.

[Dr.Winston]

PS the translation is first rate. Did you do it yourself Ceberus?

[Cerberus]

Dr. sir,

 

I should be that bright/clever But I know a lady that is

[Dr.Winston]

Dr. sir,

 

I should be that bright/clever But I know a lady that is

 

Thought you might.

[Cerberus]

Hope that doesn't devalue the reply

[Dr.Winston]

Hope that doesn't devalue the reply

 

Not at all mate, as I said before it's a top rate translation.

[mai pen rai]

FANTASTIC. I couldn't have asked for more, thank you for the translation.

 

It's funny with my limited understanding of thai, you kinda get a feeling what the song is about and it turned out to be just as I thought, that simple "sabai sabai" almost tells a story of a thousand words.

 

I will cherish this

[pggumtisong]

it 's a nice song and funny *-*

 

thank you for translation
